Is this veiled exhibitionism? True exhibitionists
will perform it in the grand old Oblation-style. Yet, in this
indecent act, there is anachronistically a certain element
of decency. Nobody among the many practitioners of this public
act perform it with a conscious effort to show off one's anatomy.
Majority would shield
themselves from public view by carefully seeking an unlit
corner, a wheel of a parked truck or a Meralco post (anymore
sinister motive here?). Evidently, there is a conscious but
tacit realization that this is an embarrassing act.
In fact, 64% of the respondents to
our survey said they were rather discreet about the whole
affair, although one suspects they are just fooling themselves.
since 80% admitted to doing it right there on the road. Some
even claimed to do it public view. A disturbing 18% confessed
to enjoying the act immensely with 21% vociferously admitting
to wanting to do it again.
If it's not veiled exhibitionism, it
might just have something to do with Freud's comparison of
urinating with sexual gratification.
