Issues around the 'Toilet'

LegacyUser

Hi, this may seem perhaps a little unusual and odd, but here it goes;

Over the past couple of months when I go out of a Sat night etc and meet people who I might be into, I just cannot get the visual image of them going to the toilet and doing you know what outta my head. It actually turns me off the person in general. I get these images about various people a couple of times everyday using the toilet.

Anytime I drive by a house etc I always look to see if those long black pipes (usually at the back of the house for the toilet) are visable, again it turns me off people. Yes I know I do it too. I see a councillor but just cannot bring this up. I consider myself 'normal' , have a good job etc.

Also I can no longer go into any shop to buy toilet rolls anymore as I would feel completly humiliated if anyone saw me buying them.Also I feel really awkward if anyone sees me entering a public toilet in a hotel etc. Yes this is a big issue and alot of people on here will probably attack me for this, but any help in taking steps towards solving this issue is appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to work on why you can't trust your counsellor.

This is a bit of a long shot, but there's a documented kink surrounding toilet and bodily exretions called scatophilia or coprophilia. Don't know much about it (or even if it's relevant to what you're describing) but might be wroth reserching...?

I applied the same trick to trusting a counsellor as I did with asking girls out, in a way. You just need 2 seconds of bravery to break the ice, and get things rolling. And the best way is to start with something embarrassing (when its a counsellor) because anything after that will be breezey.

Hey Ikkypoo2, your username and signature are strangely appropriate for this thread.

Anyway, OP, ye you should probably just mention it to your councellor. It's not really that bad. If you tell him then he'll help you and you wont have the problem anymore.

You absolutely need your counsellor's help with this.

If you can't bring yourself to broach the subject verbally, write about it ... hell, copy and paste from above! ... and give it to him / her.

Why should anyone attack you?

This is an issue for you, it's causing you grief.

It doesn't insult or offend anyone else that you have this issue.

Thought this is about more of a ..phobia than a ...philia?

OP, everyone eats, everyone picks their noses, everyone sh*ts & pi**es, everyone farts, burps, scratches their ar*es, everyone (well, most adults) have sex, we breathe, we sweat, we squeeze spots/pimples, we wipe our bums, masturbate etc etc. Just we don't talk about most of them in public. (And sometimes, in certain company, not even in private.) Women as well as men. This is because we are not higher beings, we are animals. (And if men could lick their own balls, they'd probably do so too.)

But we do a lot of other things too. These are not the things that define us.

We sing, we talk, we laugh..........

Try to concentrate on the good things!

tbh

I would suspect that this is a symptom of the same issues that are causing you to see your councilor and I think you either need to trust them to help you, or find someone else (as Victor said).
