I think it depends how far you go down that road before turning back.
Over a period of a couple of months whilst living alone, I deliberately wet either my nappy, bed, or both every night. Interestingly, I had to force myself to do this. The novelty wore off quickly and there were quite a few nights where I’d just as soon gotten up and gone to the toilet.
Having been a DL for many years, I was fairly accustomed to sleeping in a wet nappy in any case but over this period, I became very accustomed to being wet (and wetting) at night.
Towards the end of the two months, I had a couple of unplanned overnight wettings. Each of these was accompanied by vivid “pee” dreams.
I then had to move back with my family and had to abandon my experiment. I found that I had to get up to pee during the night for a short while until my bladder capacity was re-acquired but it was like I subconsciously knew that it was not “ok” to wet myself and so I awoke each time.
I’ve since heard anecdotes that those wet “pee dreams” are a last stage before descending into uncontrolled wetting without any kind of memory. Perhaps it would be harder to turn back once at this level – time prevented me from ever finding out.
You might be able to take yourself to the “wet pee dream” stage of bedwetting without any hard-to-reverse consequences but I’ve heard that the next stage can be tricky to back out of.
If you decide to do this, keep a diary (I did).
