I like the look feel and smell of freshly soaked sheets. I try to change them every two or three days if I havent been wearing a diaper which is more often in the summer.

Sadly I think that's true with almost any fetish.

My parents were religious. I remember getting lectured for masturbating and being told to control my urges. Getting spanked for bedwetting was just commonplace.

I usually try to go before I go to bed. Sometimes if Ive gone within an hour or two I cant go again though. I usually take four meds just before bed which I drink with a large glass of tepid or even warm water. One of my meds is an antipsychotic and when I take it at the high dose I usually fall asleep within minutes and on good mornings don't wake up until after 7 am and am generally well soaked.

For a lot of us over a certain age getting spanked at home and receiving corporal punishment at school was a fact of life. I certainly agree that its inappropriate for the really young but by the time somebody is old enough to understand the connection between behavior and punishment I think it can have an impact. And I agree with you that getting spanked didn't prevent us from becoming law abiding citizens.

I was a bedwetter into puberty although the frequency of it declined quickly after about age 12 and by my early teens I only had occasional accidents. But like WBxx I started wetting the bed on purpose. A counsellor I was sent to told me this was a form of attention seeking especially because my older brother was a chronic bedwetter well into his teens and got a lot of attention for it. I couldn't stop bedwetting and by my mid to late teens it became an strong fetish for me. By my late teens and into my 20s and especially when after first moved away from home at 19 I was drinking heavily and used that as an excuse for my almost nightly wetting which by that point was habitual. I learned to control it to date and keep relationships but the fetish for it was established and I've had it for my entire adult life.

I think the 'you'll grow out of it" approach is most common with parents today. Decades ago that wasnt always the case. When I was growing up overage bedwetting was viewed as a discipline issue.

Maybe a psycological reaction?

I think that after a certain age a lot of us become asexual. I havent had actual sex for well over a decade. Do I miss it? Not really. I find ways to satisfy my needs.

You dont have to tell them your straight. You can say your curious. When I went to gay bars when I was younger I classified myself mainly as bi although over the years I mainly focused on hooking up with guys. And I met a lot of married guys over the years who were quite curious about gay sex and particularly watersports which was my major interest. If your open to new experiences and flexible about your interests you can meet a lots of guys in gay bars who are likely more like you than you might think. Of course gay bars are disappearing because of the internet and the dating apps where in both cases you can pretty much find people who like what you like and want what you want.

Im with you on this. I have at least two tubes of hydrocortisone cream on my dresser all the time. I cant stand having a rash and if its too bad I sometimes just skip the diaper and wet the bed the old fashioned way.

Thick diapers for overnight bedwetting are sure better than having to get up and change. Daytime wetting is more complicated. When I wet my pants as a kid I was put into cloth diapers or sometimes training pants worn under plastic or rubber pants. As an adult and given that there is access to pullups now I tend to prefer to wear them when I go outside compared to wearing a full diaper.

When I was younger I used to have accidents on purpose all the time both in my pants and in bed.

Thanks for the advice. I do use a regular diaper sometimes but I actually dont like to be wet when Im out in public so if Im wearing a pullup I can go find a stall and pull down my pants and pullup and go in the toilet. I only wear a pullup 'just in case' although thats now more often than it used to be. Also I am on a limited budget and dont have a medical plan anymore that covers them. I can reuse pullups if I dont wet them. If I wear a diaper out Im more likely to wet it and then have to buy diapers more often.

My experience has been different based on what I was in hospital for. I have a neuralogic issue and when I was in hospital for this diapers were always available. There were diapers stacked in all the rooms although they werent the kind I prefer. When I was in the hospital the last time for a completely different issue because I couldn't stand up due to a problem with my hip though it was difficult to get a diaper. I asked the nurse the first night and she had an orderly bring an overnight pullup that was only big enough for a teenager. I put it on and and it was very tight and when I woke up soaked in the middle of the night the nurse on duty said I didnt need to worry about wetting the bed because the waterproof pad was easy to clean. I told her I was more interested in my own comfort then about cleaning up afterwards. The best bet if you know your going to be in the hospital is to pack your own bag ahead of time and include at least a couple disposable diapers.

I agree that bare bottom is more effective. I also think though that the redness and pain shouldnt last for more than a few hours. I got my fair share of spankings over the years and the purpose was more to humiliate than to cause pain.

I have urge IC and if I go anywhere where I sit for a longer period of time and then get up its difficult to control my bladder. I know that when bladder feels full I'll start to go and I often dont even know Im going until I realize Im wet. I wear a pullup when I go out during the day and I know to 'point it down' to handle streams. Pullups are usually fairly reliable although I have had leaks down the inseams of my pants when Ive wet more heavily.

I agree with you about that but its often difficult to find people online who match your own fetishes even on fetish sites. A councillor once told me years ago that almost all fetishes are based on some past experiences in our lives and that we become rewired to achieve erotic pleasure from these things. Males he said tend to form these fetishes before or during puberty. I think that as we get older we often tend to focus on the fetishes that most excite us. I know I do. As I get older and have more difficulty maintaining, well you know, and have been told not to use the pills that might assist with this because of heart issues, I stick to the things I know will almost always get me off. I try not to judge others for this because I know I don't like being kink shamed for my fetishes.

I've always liked to watch real wetting desperation and accidents whatever the gender involved. My interest in this goes way back to my school days. And some of my most vivid recollections are for my own accidents. Nowdays I deal with urge urinary IC and I have to admit I do wear protection when I go out just to avoid the possibility of public accidents. Not as sexy I think to watch an old guy p*ss himself.

You are close to my age. Back in the old days using diapers for overage bedwetting wasnt commonplace. I remember waking up to many wet beds meaning soaked sheets and pjs. I had an accident at summer sports camp when I was 14 and that was really embarrasing. And I had an accident in a hotel bed when my father took my older brother and me to see a pro hockey game. I think I was 16 at the time and we got access to beer and some other guys joined us and we had a party. I realized in the morning that I couldnt hold my beer. My father wasn't impressed when he found out about the party and my wet bed.

When I was young it wasn't common to use much other than mattress protection for bedwetting. That where my nickname rubbersheetmike originates. My father felt that using diaper for overage bedwetting just encouraged it to continue. So it was peed sheets and pjs every morning until my early teens. By then though I was attached to it and had developed a fixation on keeping the rubber sheet on my bed. Its still a fixation for me although I moved on to a vinyl mattress cover.

I was wetting my bed and pants long before I discovered adult diapers. Now I guess its a convenient and happy combination.

Id add to that the sight of a well pissed bed or well pissed pjs. I enjoy 'freestyle' bedwetting with no diapers but usually reserve it for the night before I do laundry. Okay I admit it, sometimes I don't do the laundry so I can piss in the bed again.

I think a lot of us keep the wet diaper on for a few hours in the morning when we get up. I usually rewet at least once or twice.

I couldnt read the whole article because the site has a paywall. Anyway my guess is that the article addresses the fact that too many are wearing adult diapers rather than getting treated for urinary problems. There can be valid reasons for this. Where I live its difficult to get refered to a specialist. Also if you have underlying medical problems like I do doctors will just assume that urine issues are a symptom of the underlying medical problems.
