I'm over 60 and understand that issue. When I go out I need to wear a pullup. When at home I put on an old pair of jeans that gets wet in the crotch and sometimes down the inseams at least two or three times a day. Nighttime is a bit different because usually I dont know Im going. Sometimes if I'm dry and have a full bladder I just let go. I lost my inhibitions about it long ago.

I wet the bed into puberty. Back when I was young it was treated like a discipline issue and my father wouldnt permit diapers after about seven so it meant mornings waking up in soaked sheets and pjs. Maybe because it continued into puberty I developed an attachment to it and while I had only a few real accidents after about 12 or 13 I had 'on purpose' accidents so I could keep the rubber sheet on my bed until I was 17.

I havent been able to travel lately because of medical issues but I used to be really nervous about overnight flights and the possibility of having an accident if I fell asleep. If you wear a pullup its just not enough. I used to try to stay awake on overnight flights and it was a very tiring experience.

Flannel sheets absorb more liquid so the amount of the bed thats covered in pee is smaller if you wet. Its even smaller if you use a thick cotton absorbing pad under the sheets but on top of the rubber sheet or vinyl waterproof mattress protector.

I don't think your offending anybody on here. We all deal with the same issues. It looks like you were a bedwetter into puberty and in my opinion and my own experience you could have developed an interest in it back then thats continued since then. Even when my bedwetting pretty much ended by the time I turned 13 and I only had a few real accidents after that I had a psychologic need to keep the rubber sheet on my bed which I did until I was 17. I used to wet the bed on purpose sometimes to show I still needed protection on the bed. My interest in it continued during my life. So dont worry about it. If your still wetting the bed in your sleep there are ways to deal with it, including diapers. If you have an accident in your pjs and sheets it's just more laundry to do. Just keep protection on your mattress because they are expensive to replace.

I read the article. I suffer from 'intermittent' nocturia. It's a hassle and I'd rather not have to wake up during the night to pee. I've learned some of the techniques to deal with it and especially not to drink liquids after about 7 pm. It's a bit like going back to my younger years when my mom would tell me not to drink anything after dinner or I'd wet the bed but the advice works for nocturia as well.

I had a rubber sheet on my bed until I was 17. Fond memories for sure.

For me it started again about 15 years ago but its off and on. Nothing for days sometimes and then back again.

Why were you put in diapers hours before bedtime? I grew up in a big family where there were four bedwetters including me. One of my sisters who didnt wet the bed used to be very vocal about my and my older brother's bedwetting with her friends and others in the neighborhood. And back then moms including mine often talked about it with other moms in the neighborhood so I was aware of several other bedwetters just by overhearing my mom talk on the phone. And back then few used diapers for overage bedwetting and a lot of people in my area didnt have automatic washers and dryers so I could tell where wetters lived just by driving around on my bike and looking at the laundry on the clotheslines.

I've been at fetish events at gay bars, mainly for watersports or s&m, and you can usually get away with it then.

I got the belt a few times from my father in my teens. It certainly gets the message across.

I think the Israeli stats are probably the most accurate because it's my understanding based on what a guy who lived there one time told me that almost everybody except for those with specific religious exemptions has to register for military service. That gives them a pretty good sample group. As for the 18 to 20 "low point" my guess is that a lot of overage bedwetters get their wetting under control by their mid to late teens are probably less diligent about it when they move out on their own. I had a rubber sheet on my bed until I was 17, although the my frequent bedwetting decreased in my early teens. When I finished school and moved away from home at 19 (I failed a grade so spent an extra year in high school) and started working in construction I also started going out drinking a lot and pretty quickly wrecked a mattress. Then I started using a vinyl mattress cover. I stopped drinking in my 20s mainly because it made it easier on relationships. But the bedwetting started again a couple decades later.

Most of us who have OAB didnt and wouldn't choose it. And nighttime symptoms which is called nocturia and wakes you up three or four times to go to the bathroom even when you dont really have to go is a real drag because it reduces the amount of sleep you get and you feel constantly tired. During the day I can no longer fully control my bladder and that leads to being 'wet down there' more often than you probably want to be. When I go out anywhere nowdays I pretty much have to wear daytime pullups. Hey, Ive had a pee fetish since puberty. But I like the flow to be on my terms and these days thats not always the case.

Wow, that's a lot of pee! More than a litre. I think the most my bladder can hold is maybe 1/4 of that at best and usually I feel like I have to go before my bladder is full. Thats one of the disadvantages of ageing.

I use them for peeing mainly so I don't have to get up at night because I have serious mobility problems. I can wear a wet diaper for quite a while but can't wear for long if I dump into a diaper. Even when I'm hospitalized I make the effort to get up and go to the toilet for No. 2.

My guess is that your fetish started forming in your early teens and that you only acted on them when you had the resources and privacy later on. I acted on my fetish earlier by continuing to wet the bed during and after puberty even when I was usually waking up dry more often by then. But I didnt use diapers for it until several years later when I incorporated them into my fetish.

We're fairly close in age so probably had much the same experiences. Back a few decades ago it was harder to hide bedwetting. There were few if any disposable products (that we knew of anyway) and I grew up in a fairly poor area so a lot of the wet bedding and pjs were just hung out on clotheslines for anybody to see. One of my more vivid memories was having to pick up a box of used clothes from a neighbors place that my mother was going to take to a church rummage sale. The neighbor's husband had died about a year earlier and she had two sons, one, 'Matt', a senior at my high school who I think was 16 and a couple years older than I was and the other who'd entered the military after he graduated at the end of the previous school year. When I got to the house I called through the screen door and Mrs. G., shouted from upstairs telling me to come in and that she'd be down in a minute. I was impatient so I bounded up the stairs and ran into a room with the door open at the top of the stairs. There were football and other sports posters on the walls so I figured it was Matt's room. But what caught my attention was the heavily peed single bed just to the left of the open door. I also noted the crumpled wet pjs that were partially pushed under the side of the bed on the tile floor and the folded clean bedding and pjs that had been neatly placed on the desk to the right of the door. When I looked at the wet bed the outline of the vinyl or rubber mattress protector was pretty obvious. The neatness of the otherwise wet bed was also interesting. The wet bedsheet was barely wrinkled, lying almost completely flat on top of the mattress cover which made me think Matt had to be a heavy sleeper who seldom moved in his sleep. When I heard Mrs. G. come out of a different bedroom I quickly walked back into the hallway and I think startled her. She told me the box for the rummage sale was in the kitchen so I followed her downstairs to get it. But whenever I saw Matt after that the first thing that came to mind was my discovery on that warm spring morning and I always got the feeling that he knew that I knew.

Thanks. I had it checked. The problem turns out to be a rare muscle disorder that affects many of my other muscles as well including reducing my mobility. My muscles are spastic and contract and release on their own. At first they thought it was MS or palsy but eventually they found out its a rare gene condition. I take a powerful med to counteract it but its not entirely effective.

For many mean the older we get the harder it is to have a full stream pee. And when I go I don't fully empty my bladder. I've been diagnosed with an underlying muscle condition thats probably the cause. Sometimes I get up two or three times during the night and even after trying to go I still feel like I have to go which is really irritating. I go back to bed and pee in my sleep sometimes.

I only asked the question because I recall that when I was young other young males who found out about my bedwetting sometimes called me gay usually using some of the more derogatory terms for it. And then later when I was older and wet the bed after drinking heavily somebody again asked me about it. I actually considered myself bisexual and was taken aback by the question. As I say in my original post, I don't think there's an actual connection but it seems odd that others sometimes seem to associate the two. Personally, I don't think either bedwetting or being gay/bisexual is bad or weak.

We've messaged before. I'm a pee play fan as well. A lot of people on here though are more into diaper and age play. I have more of a pee fetish than either a DL or AB fetish although I do like diaper play sometimes. I've kept a fitted vinyl cover on my mattress for over two decades. I change it every couple years to make sure it's fresh. It gets lot of use. These days it seems I have a difficult time getting aroused without pee play of some kind being involved.

Different implements are popular or common in different places. My folks used the back of a hairbrush or when I got older the belt administered in both cases to the backside. At school in Canada we got the strap on the hands instead of the paddle.

The big difference in how this was treated is probably related to age. Those of us who grew up in the 50s, 60s or earlier 70s dealt with a different view of bedwetting. My parents thought of overage bed and pants wetting as a discipline issue. Today that wouldn't be very common I suspect.
