Page "Paruresis" Paragraph 21

* In the 2011 comedy movie The Change-Up, the protagonists Mitch and Dave, who have switched bodies paranormally after urinating in a fountain and wishing they had each other's lives, have to urinate in the same fountain again to revert back to their original bodies.

They find the fountain has been moved to the inside of a shopping mall, where they have to expose themselves and do this in full public view with security guards in pursuit.

Mitch in Dave's body has trouble urinating claiming to be completely " locked up " because of all the horrified onlookers.

Once the two characters resolve their conflicts, Mitch in Dave's body is then released from the paruretic symptoms and they complete the wish to change back.

After this, the lights all go out, giving them an escape.

( It remains unclear whether the paruresis was associated with Mitch's consciousness or Dave's body.
