In all seriousness, not being able to pee underwater is becoming a frustrating issue for me.
I've never been able to pee while in my wetsuit either but the minute the wetsuit is peeled off I can pee immediately. Now I use a She-P/P-valve in my drysuit and I'm still not able to pee underwater.
I thought the biggest learning curve to the She-P and P-valve was adhering it correctly to avoid leakage but that turned out to be the easiest part. Never did I expect the most difficult part of the She-P/P-valve experience would be my inability to pee underwater. I hydrate before the dive and in between dives in the hopes of being able to use the darn thing underwater.
My sympathetic dive buddies, both male and females, have offered many great suggestions but I've yet to pee underwater.
Does anyone else have this problem and if you do, or did, what did you do to overcome it? How are you able to pee underwater? Appreciate any suggestions from the peanut gallery.
I know it's all mental or more accurately I'm mental! :depressed:

- Stop finning, relax while holding onto something, ie: platforms, mooring/anchor line, wreck
- I've closed my eyes
- I've envision "the peeing act"
- I've tried hovering, standing and even sitting on the platform
