Name that old movie... (college, Shy Bladder, freshman male protag, motor-mouth girl)

[CZroe]

This is really about Paruresis, AKA, Shy Bladder. I am looking for a movie though.

Around 10 years ago, I heard Adam Corrola (sp?) and Dr. Drew discussing this on LoveLine after Adam pulled some stunt on The Man Show or something where he urinated on someone's wallet in a urinal on-stage prompting many people to ask how he was able to pee in public. He said he had no idea that the problem existed or that it was so common until he got all that feedback (same thing here... I could whip it out and urinate anywhere and didn't realize that this was a problem for some people).

Shortly after that, I saw some old movie on TV where a chatty girl (think "One time, at band camp...") follows the protagonist, a freshman boy, into a men's restroom in order to maintain her one-sided conversation. He then says that he can't "go" with her standing there. I had seen it before, but I only then realized what it was referencing. I know it was another one of those college movies for teens and it was probably an '80s or very early '90s movie.

I can't remember what the movie was called and the Wikipedia page for the condition only mentions some 2005 film reference. A little help?

OP, just a far-fetched guess, but Career Opportunities maybe?

The situation you describe isn't too specific. Not only that, but its a pretty common situation in many shows/movies.

It's Real Genius. One of my favorite 80's movies.

[In the men's room]
Jordan: Are you peeing?
Mitch: Uh, I can't start.
Jordan: Because I'm here?
Mitch: I think so.
Jordan: Weird. Well I have to go.
Mitch: Me too.

There's even a clip of that exact scene right here:

the "one time at band camp" line is famous from American Pie.

edit: oh it was something like that. nm.

After "Shy Bladder" I would've sworn it's Waiting. Not that old a movie though.

Damnit you guys won, I'm just watching it again when I remembered this thread. Don't know why I didn't remember it since I've seen this movie enough I should have.

I had that issue once...

i was tryin to piss in the toilet, and suddenly a female friend of mine walks in (she is about a 9/10)... all of a sudden i stop peeing... she comes in, goes "keep doin what your doin" im like "uh..." and then had to concentrate really fucking hard and it finally started again.

I think it's an evolutionary response to being vulnerable when you "go." When trying to find this movie, I stumbled across a thread where one person said his condition started after being kicked in the nuts from behind when urinating in a gym/restroom. *shrug* Probabaly made him "connect" with that instinct. It's probably also why dogs spend so much time looking around and considering the smell before deciding to crap on one patch of grass instead of another.
