Simulated Pee Sound SPS

Paruresis A.K.A bashful bladder, bashful kidneys, mental cloggery, stage fright, pee fright, urophobia, pee- shyness, the slow dribbles, creeping pee-pee, public piss syndrome, shy bladder syndrome is a social anxiety disorder that affects 7% to 14% of the population.

When experienced in the context of a public urinal, most of the fear is caused by the fear of embarrassment of not being able to pee. It's a silly problem easily solved by a simulated pee sound (SPS)

The actual product be a coin-sized-button-triggered- speaker which plays a recording of urination in progress. Alternatively it could be an app triggered by a special key word. Of course the key word has to be carefully selected to avoid accidental SPS discharge during a key meeting. Unfortunately I'm having trouble coming up with something that meets the following criteria:

- Appropriate to say while standing beside someone else at the urinal

- Unlikely to be said in any other social context.

- Repeatable without sounding too weird (for situations when speech recognition doesn't pick it up on the first try)

I'm hoping you can help with that part.

       This shows the merit of not deleting these just yet ... until Psychourologists have a chance to go through this.

       ... now I feel the urge to bake this.   

       - MP3 recording of urinating ... check   

       - reliable/convenient/fail safe way to trigger my cell phone to play the MP3 ... not so much

       this is so baked in East Asia it's a tooth breaker. Japan tends to sound of rushing water, South Korea goes for birdsong at 120 decibels,,
