We all dream, I’m sure, of a society that is fully accepting of pants wetting and considers it to be a perfectly normal thing. However, as we all know, this is unfortunately not the case. If I were to walk down the main street of my city tomorrow morning at 9:00 and stop and pee my pants in front of everybody, I would immediately be branded as sick and in need of help. Especially if it was obvious to everyone that I enjoyed it. Which I would. Well, the act at least, not necessarily the location or circumstances. It’s simply (well perhaps it’s not so simple I guess) that pants wetting is socially unacceptable. When you attempt to talk to someone who is not a wetter and obtain their opinion on the subject, they immediately become horrified at the very notion of wetting themselves. They ask things like, ‘Why would anyone want to do that?’, or they say things like, ‘That’s sick! I can’t believe you asked me that!’
You can actually see a parallel here between pants wetting and something like UFOs for example. Everybody is quick to laugh and scoff at someone who says they saw a UFO. Why? Fear. They’re afraid that this person may have actually seen one, and that is reason for concern, concern they’d rather not be feeling thank you very much. Something similar occurs with pants wetting. When you mention it to someone who doesn’t do it, they get uncomfortable, they give you a strange look, they tell you that you need help. Here also, they are afraid. They are afraid that if they don’t immediately condemn it as sick and bizarre, people might think they also are a wetter. They are distancing themselves from it. They wish to remain accepted by the rest of society. They do not want to be considered one of those ‘weirdo pants wetters’. It’s what I call the “Get away from me, there’s something wrong with you” syndrome. As quick as I am to say this, I also say that we wetters don’t exactly go around broadcasting to the world that we wet our pants. We don’t arbitrarily wet our pants everywhere we go. Why? Because we also wish to be accepted by society, and if we made no secret of the fact that we’re wetters, then we wouldn’t be accepted, would we? Of course, there are also those who would say that you can’t just stop and wet yourself anywhere you want, there are also sanitary concerns here. Well, no problem there. In a ‘pants-wetters friendly’ society there would, of course, be designated wetting zones, places where there is a concrete floor with a drain or drains in it where people go to stand and wet themselves, and the urine would flow harmlessly into the sewer. Reading it worded like this, one begins to think of the very notion of everyone freely wetting their pants as being rather silly. For example, to actually go to the lengths of building ‘wetting zones’ sounds like something out of a bad comedy movie. But when you think about it, there would have to be something like that in a “pants wetters friendly” society.
There are other considerations as well. For example, think about this. If society
were to become fully accepting of pants wetting, at first it would be dreamland for all of us. At first. After a while though the novelty would wear off and it wouldn’t be that much fun any more. Everybody would be doing it, it wouldn’t be naughty or taboo any more.
There are alternatives. For example, we have nudist colonies, why not wetter’s colonies? Why not start up special resorts or colonies for pants wetters? Imagine for a moment what it would be like to be a member of a club like that. Of course, everyone would pee in their pants as a matter of course, it would be a fully accepted thing. You would see people walking casually about in obviously pee soaked pants and thinking absolutely nothing of it. This, I think, is eminently more achievable. I think if enough of us got together in our respective areas of residence around the world, we could, quite possibly, do something like this. Sadly though, I don’t think society in general will ever accept pants wetting as normal. We can all dream of a pants wetting society, but I don’t think it will ever happen. Maybe we should look at the wetter’s colony idea though. We just might be able to make that one happen.
Okay, I’ll get down off my soap box now. Take care and stay wet!
