Have you ever felt the panic of needing to pee urgently, clenching your pelvic floor while rushing to the bathroom? Turns out, while most of us try to avoid such scenarios, there’s a whole fetish dedicated to having a full bladder – and it’s not about golden showers, although the two are somewhat connected. It’s called omorashi, and it’s about deriving sexual pleasure from having a full bladder, or engaging in sexual play while needing to pee.
Sex educator Gigi Engle explains that omorashi is a form of bladder control where one person, often at the demand of a dominant partner, keeps their bladder full. Engle has worked with individuals who have this particular predilection, and it’s more common than you might think. Some people experience enhanced sensations, like increased squirting or more intense orgasms, due to the pressure of a full bladder against the vaginal and clitoral complex. However, the pleasurable sensation isn’t the primary reason for this fetish.
Omorashi is actually a subset of BDSM, focusing on dominance and submission. The dominant partner might instruct the submissive partner to hold their bladder for a specific duration, dictate when they can use the bathroom, or even forbid them from urinating during sex. This control aspect adds to the kinkiness and appeal of the fetish, as handing over basic bodily functions for another person to control is a powerful dynamic in BDSM.
Furthermore, omorashi falls under the category of pain play in BDSM, as holding in urine can be uncomfortable, even painful. It sometimes goes hand-in-hand with golden showers (watersports or p*ss play). While not everyone who enjoys omorashi enjoys being peed on, some may also have a penchant for being urinated on during sex or peeing during intercourse.
However, it’s crucial to be aware of the potential health risks associated with omorashi. Prolonged and repeated bladder retention can lead to complications like urinary tract infections (UTIs). Dr. Suzanne Wylie, medical advisor for IQdoctor, explains that the bladder is designed to store urine until it reaches a comfortable capacity. Repeatedly delaying urination can overstretch the bladder, weakening its muscles over time. This can lead to urinary retention, where the bladder doesn’t empty fully, increasing the risk of infections like cystitis (bladder infection) or, in extreme cases, kidney infections. Chronic bladder overstretching can also result in neurogenic bladder, a condition where the nerves controlling the bladder become damaged, causing long-term urination difficulties.
A full bladder also increases internal pressure on the bladder walls. While uncommon, extreme cases of prolonged retention or trauma to an overly full bladder could result in bladder rupture, a medical emergency. Additionally, having sex with a full bladder can increase pain during intercourse due to the friction and pressure applied to the bladder. This can further increase the risk of UTIs, which are already a concern when holding in urine.
Despite the potential risks, Gigi Engle emphasizes that individuals shouldn’t feel ashamed of their fetishes. She believes that omorashi is a normal fetish, and the taboo surrounding bodily functions often contributes to the excitement. She encourages individuals to move away from shame and towards acceptance and safe exploration of their desires. If you are interested in omorashi, prioritize your sexual health and consult with a healthcare professional about any potential risks and safe practices.
