Omorashi (オモラシ / おもらし / お漏らし, Omorashi^?) is a fetish subculture recognized predominantly in Japan, in which participants experience arousal from having a full bladder or a sexual attraction to someone else experiencing the feeling of a full bladder. For such fetishists, climax usually coincides with the moment of relief and embarrassment experienced when the desperate individual loses bladder control and experiences incontinence. Outside of Japan, it is not usually identified separately from urolagnia. Westerners who do make the distinction commonly use phrases such as "bladder desperation" or "panty wetting." The Japanese language term from which the subculture's name is derived means "to wet oneself," literally translated, "leaking." The fetish subculture is a subculture that comprises people with a broad range of sexual fetishes, who tend to be more tolerant of other fetishists than the general community, even if they do not share the other persons specific fetish. ...

Attitudes toward sexuality in omorashi media

Most fetish activities concerning the use of bodily waste are considered by the general public as "hardcore," taboo, or edgeplay.[7] However, most omorashi videos are among the most softcore of erotica, featuring innocent young women, fully clothed, who have gotten themselves into an embarrassing bathroom situation. Though they may occasionally feature some nudity, omorashi videos do not feature direct sexual contact; their content can be described as fitting within the MPAA's definition of an R rating.[8] The focus on clothed rather than overtly sexual images makes garment fetishism a prominent feature in most omorashi erotica: commonly featured outfits include those worn by schoolgirls, female working professionals, and other women attempting to look dignified before succumbing to the urge to childishly wet themselves. Depending on one's role in an omorashi scenario (as the wetter or the watcher) these acts could be variously considered a form of sadism, masochism, sadomasochism, or erotic humiliation. It is worth noting that these scenarios almost invariably feature female wetters over males, and that the focus generally falls on the wetter's tendency toward the irrepressible submissive qualities commonly associated with feminine weakness. In Japan, these attitudes are recognized as belonging to the wider archetype of moe (pronounced "mo-eh") fetishism. From this perspective, the incontinence serves as the essential, obvious sympathetic weakness that moe characters work hard to correct but never really succeed at getting rid of.

Omorashi in Japan

There are many ways in which omorashi is practiced in Japan.

Yagai

One of the variations is known as omorashi yagai, which translates as "to wet oneself outdoors (or publicly)." A further variation includes yagai hōnyō, or "outdoor (or public) urination," in which the subject publicly removes their clothes to urinate. Other yagai hōnyō practitioners operate much like graffiti artists, attempting the public urination acts without being caught.[9] For other uses, see Graffiti (disambiguation). ...

Game shows

Japanese omorashi fans also enjoy game shows in which contestants must compete in various urine-holding challenges.[10] The Japanese Giga video company's "Desperation Tournament" series is one of the best known examples of this kind of contest. One such activity has been a panel of contestants competing to guess which woman has to use the restroom, or is wearing a diaper. A game show is a radio or television program involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes. ...

Diapers

Another variation of omorashi play is omutsu omorashi, less commonly called oshime omorashi, both of which translate as "to wet oneself in a diaper." This omutsu variation is essentially the same as the standard omorashi, except that the participants are wearing a diaper instead of panties. This fetish is an example of a Japanese variation of the diaper lover community. Womens panties or knickers Panties are undergarments. ...

Fantasy services

Prostitution, defined by the government as genital-to-genital contact, is illegal in Japan. "Image clubs" or "pink salons" are establishments specialized in oral sex, but recently some have added a number of other "not-quite-sex" services such as massage plus oral sex or a range of other fetish oriented services that do not include genital-to-genital contact, such as costumes and settings. An omorashi service can involve either the client, the masseuse, or both, wetting themselves, with or without a diaper. This can sometimes involve a "teiku auto" (a wasei-eigo of the English phrase "take out") where you get to take home your masseuse's wet panties or diaper, or just their urine in a bottle.[11] Whore redirects here. ...

Soiled schoolgirl panties were at one time also available in Japan through vending machines. [12] However, in 2004, the Tokyo metropolitan government passed a bill to ban the sale of panties worn by underage girls.[13] [14] Shortly after this law was passed, it was reported that some underage girls (called kagaseya or "sniffers") were instead allowing their clients to sniff their underwear from directly between their legs. Others chose to sell photos of themselves, throwing in the used panties for free.[15] These acts of pseudo-prostitution or "enjo kōsai" are one of the foundations of kogal culture in Japan.

Anime and manga

Main article: list of anime and manga featuring omorashi

Japanese produced omorashi media also include comic books and animation. These range from independently produced dōjinshi to large commercially produced manga. Some focus exclusively on omorashi stories, while others include only the occasional scene. Some contain obvious sexual themes and could be considered a form of H manga, while others, like Iinari! Aibure-shon are famous as all-ages comics.[17] Wetting scenes have existed in anime as early as the popular Devilman of the 1970s. However, these did not have the erotic context which characterizes modern omorashi media, since they predated the first full-blown anime pornography, which was not available until 1984, when the advent of the first H anime OVAs such as Wonder Kids' Lolita Anime were made possible by the widespread availability of home video. One example of this later erotic context is the 1994 H anime OVA Vixens, which features scenes of incontinence in a setting that is overtly sexual.

Acceptance

Public urination in general (both within and outside of fetish subculture) is considered far more acceptable in Japan than in some Western countries.[20] Public nudity is also considered a lesser social taboo.[21] Additionally, recent studies show that an increasing number of Japanese children are wetting their beds and even wearing diapers full time, well into elementary school.[22] [23] To meet this demand, larger diapers have appeared on the Japanese market. One example includes the "Goo.N Refreshing Bigger than Big Size Diapers," intended for seven-year-old boys and girls. The adult diaper market in Japan is also growing.[24] Even fully continent Japanese do not frown on wetting themselves in public when toilets are inconvenient: a group of diaper-wearing Japanese tourists made the front page of the New York Post on New Year's Day 2008 when they agreed to pose for a publicity shot endorsing diapers as a solution to inadequate bathroom facilities at the ball drop in Times Square.

Outside of Japan

Though there is a small community devoted to such fetishism outside of Japan, it is usually overshadowed by the more hardcore fetishes, urolagnia and urophagia. Outside of Japan, omorashi groups usually refer to their shared interest as "desperation" fetishism, often making a distinction between content featuring males and females. Some English language websites with a focus on females simply identify as "panty wetting." Since such sites abandon the "desperation" title which implies an effort not to wet, they are more likely to include nudity, overtly sexual models and situations, as well as purposeful (as opposed to accidental) wetting.

Though the cultural memes of Western sexual ethics of have not allowed such wide acceptance of incontinence-based play in many countries outside of Japan, recent studies in England have shown that urinary incontinence during sexual activity is a "common, but rarely volunteered symptom" observed in 24% of sexually active women. Moreover, no connection could be identified with any specific abnormality of bladder function associated with these symptoms, indicating that such leakage is both normal and healthy.^[1][2] Meme, (rhymes with cream and comes from Greek root with the meaning of memory and its derivative mimeme), is the term given to a unit of information that replicates from brains and inanimate stores of information, such as books and computers, to other brains or stores of information. ...

Western publications and media

Though Wet Set publications were originally only available in English, readership in German speaking countries has since proved high enough to justify printing some materials in German. The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...

Though Wet Set does not generally acknowledge the comparatively large Asian fan base over any other country, some Western proponents of omorashi recognize a heavy Asian influence. For instance, in a February 2006 issue of The Brooklyn Rail, American poet Garrett Caples of Oakland, California chose to describe the shooting of an omorashi film in a Japanese setting.[27] Media:Example. ...

Aside from lending Western omorashi media an "authentic" quality, the inclusion of Japanese models and settings might also be seen as an attempt to play upon the stereotype of ultrapassivity globally associated^[4] with Asian women, further enhancing their moe qualities and catering to Asian fetishists.

In music

Cat Chaser Conspiracy, an American all-girl punk rock band, became known during the 80s and 90s for performing a panty-wetting stage act as they played songs about wetting themselves. Some "wetty gurl" fans would wet themselves when these songs were played.^[5] Before their breakup in 1999, members made regular appearances in the pages of Wet Set magazine. Their second vocalist, Moppet, appeared as a model in a number of photosets, including #84 through 89.^[6] All-female bands (commonly known as all-women bands, all-girl bands or girl bands) are musical groups in which females sing and play all the instruments. ...

It is notable that although these bands maintain the trend of presenting female incontinence as the object of eroticism, their musical styles owe a great deal to the riot grrl movement and empower female wetters rather than emphasizing helplessness. For instance, in the line quoted above, the band makes use of double entendre to switch the focus from the embarrassing realization of her accident in the first verse ("Oh no, I'm getting wet") to the empowerment of her sexual arousal ("Oh yeah, I'm getting wet.")

The Leak

In 2005, public wetting became something of a trend among female American sex symbols when Fergie of the popular hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas wet herself on stage at the San Diego Street Scene festival. During the next several months, a sudden rash of celebrity wettings garnered much publicity and was labeled "The Leak."[28] [29] Following Fergie's performance, Jenny McCarthy wet her pants on Howard Stern's radio show, followed by Lindsay Lohan barely a week after. [30] Later, Paris Hilton caused a publicly stir of her own when she wet herself publicly on two separate occasions.[31] [32] [33] A month after Paris's second accident, Fergie was photographed at the 48th Grammy Awards with an obvious yellow stain on the crotch of her dress. [34] [35] Fergie, who had initially denied her trend setting accident, later appeared on The Dame Edna Show and spoke openly about the experience.
