The most common manifestation of the condition is men who cannot urinate at a urinal and instead find themselves standing on public toilet as casual observers. Women can also find it difficult to urinate in a cubicle if there are people nearby.

The condition is caused by a neurological shutdown of the sphincter valves that when open allow urine to flow, but it is completely involuntary.
