How to Make an STP
Recently I did a couple videos on how to make an STP. You can make the basic medicine spoon/tubing combo for less than $5 and use it by itself or insert it into a packer if you so desire.

Pee Shyness [men's bathrooms].
Paruresis /ˌpɑrəˈriːsɪs/ par-ə-ree-sis) is a type of phobia in which the sufferer is unable to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in a public restroom. It most commonly affects males, though there are female sufferers too. [via Wikipedia]
I recently made this video about “pee shyness.” It is an actual medical condition (a social anxiety disorder) called *paruesis (also called urophobia) that affects a lot of men (women can suffer from this too), and transmen seem to suffer from their fair share of it too. I have done a few videos on men's bathrooms because they really seem to be a source of stress for a lot of transmen.
As the video below tries to show, just relax and take it easy! It is not as bad as you think. The less nervous you are, the smoother the experience will go. Guys are way different in the bathroom; they are not as “alert” as women and want to get in there, do their business, and get out of the restroom with making as little eye contact as possible.
Transwomen have the rougher side of the coin; they go from a “business” type approach to the bathroom to a very social and potentially scrutinizing situation. Women pay much more attention to other people in the restroom; men generally could care less. Men are usually comfortable peeing in front of anyone (though not always the case) and they could care less if a woman walked in - if they did, they could opt to use a stall. On the whole, men don't give a hoot and neither should you!
I did this particular video with a non trans male friend while living in San Francisco to get his opinion on the whole men's bathroom situation and peeing standing up. It is important to remember that these are merely his views and not representative of all non transmales, just as my videos and writings are my experiences and do not represent the transmale community as a whole.
We are all different and have different experiences in transition, and they are all valuable and genuine. It is important not to compare yourself to others and just live out your life and transition the way is right for you.
*There is an organization for those who suffer from paruesis called the International Paruesis Association and they are located in Baltimore, MD. They offer support to those who suffer from this condition and promise you are not alone - they estimate that 7% of the public, some 17 million people may suffer from paruesis.
From the IPA website:
Welcome to the official IPA (International Paruresis Association) website. This site is provided as a resource for people who find it difficult or impossible to urinate in the presence of others, either in their own home or in public facilities. Also, for people who have difficulty under the stress of time pressure, when being observed, when others are close by and might hear them, or when traveling on moving vehicles.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. In fact, recent studies show that about seven percent (7%) of the public, or 17 million people, may suffer from this social anxiety disorder. Often referred to as Pee-Shy, Shy-Bladder, Bashful Bladder, etc., avoidant paruresis is nothing to be ashamed of, and you have made an important step simply by coming to this website.
Inside you will find helpful information on support groups, support seminars (workshops), and even drug therapy. There is also a useful and friendly discussion board where you can share your problems and success -- or just "listen in" -- with others who have the same problem as you.

STP info.
*edited on sunday, january 31, 2010 at 5:00 PST.
i have received many messages about how to go about ordering STPs.
STPs are $45 made with the standard semi-soft tubing.
shipping is $7 anywhere in the US. i will ship to international guys, but shipping will be determined by specific location.
the total for a STP packer (medicine spoon and tubing included) is $52.
paypal payment is preferred through electricacidkoolaidtest@gmail.com, but other arrangements for payment can be made.
harness orders are not currently being taken at this time. i have my hands full with work and many projects (both which involve the trans community), and harnesses take far too long to make as i have no one helping me with orders at this time. i will post an instructional video soon on how to make your own harness so guys can start making their own.
also, you should note there is no set time for orders to be shipped. i do not make stps full time, just got into this because i helped a few people out then it grew far too fast and i wasn't able to keep up properly with all the orders. mango takes many months to deliver their products(i've been hearing reports of 6+ months to receive the package) if they deliver the package at all.
i have been sent various messages about guys who have personally ordered from mango in the last year and received nothing and have also read multiple accounts from men on the FTM-trans list that they are also having problems with their order. if you've had a problem with mango in the last year, leave a comment here.
packers come in TAN or PINK, and are 3.5'. special requests can be made for larger sizes.
feel free to e-mail me at charliewarhol@gmail.com for more information.
here are some pictures of the device:
**********************************************************************************
personal note to everyone who has ordered an STP/tubing/harness:
that being said, if you have ordered from me and have not received it, first of all, my deepest apologies. i intend to fulfill every order that has been made, no matter when it was placed. second, please contact me at charlesasheryt@gmail.com with your paypal/order info so we can work something out. even though i have saved every STP order, i literally have thousands of e-mails in my inbox and sometimes things slip past me. i want to work things out with everyone who placed an order at anytime.
i understand if you are upset at not receiving your order and i truly apologize, but please do not go through unnecessary means to "send me a message" (ie hate channels, hate commenting in general, etc), rather just send me a message and we'll get things worked out! once again, the e-mail is charlesasheryt@gmail.com.
