Omorashi (Japanese: オモラシ, "to wet oneself") 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 discomfort 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. 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.

Most fetishes concerning the use of bodily fluids are considered by the general public as "hardcore," taboo, or edgeplay. On the contrary, 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. Commonly featured are schoolgirls, female working professionals, and other women attempting to look dignified before succumbing to the urge to childishly wet themselves. In this way, omorashi could be variously considered a form of sadism, masochism, sadomasochism, or erotic humiliation.

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

One of the most popular variations is known as "omorashi yagai," which translates as "to wet oneself outdoors (or publicly)." A further variation includes yagai hounyo, or "outdoor (or public) urination," in which the subject publicly removes their clothes to urinate. Other yagai hounyo enthusiasts operate much like graffiti artists, attempting the most audacious public urination acts without being caught.

Japanese omorashi fans also enjoy game shows in which contestants must compete in various urine-holding challenges. The legendary Japanese Giga video company's "Desperation Tournament" series is one of the most well known examples of this kind of contest. Their consistent output and willingness to cater to unusual fetishes has made Giga a rallying point for fans of omorashi world wide. One such activity might include a panel of contestants competing to guess which woman has to use the restroom, or is wearing a diaper.

The above mentioned diaper example would constitute "omorashi omutsu," less commonly called "omorashi oshime," both of which translate as "to wet oneself in a diaper." Usually, however, the standard fare in the omutsu variation is essentially the same as the standard omorashi, except that the participants are wearing a diaper instead of panties. This fetish group amounts to the Japanese equivalent of the diaper lover community.

Because of its popularity, fetishists in Japan can now live out their omorashi fantasies at an "image club" or "pink salon." Prostitution is illegal in Japan, though the only thing the Japanese government defines as such is genital-to-genital contact. Pink Salons are establishments that have in the past specialized in oral sex, but more recently have gradually added a number of other "not-quite-sex" services. They are a place where one can go to receive a massage plus oral sex or a range of other fetish oriented services that are not sex, but are as good as sex to a fetishist. Image clubs offer an extensive range of fantasy services that include 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.

The greater Japanese mainstream acceptance of fetish activity involving wetting oneself may stem from a broader cultural acceptance of older children who are not toilet trained. Recent studies show that an increasing number of Japanese children are wetting their beds and even wearing diapers full time, well into elementary school.[1][2] Because of this trend, progressively larger diapers are appearing on the Japanese market. One example includes the "Goon Refreshing Bigger than Big Size Diapers," intended for seven-year-old children.[3]

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 "female desperation," or more uncommonly, "male desperation" fetishism. Some English language websites, usually aiming to draw traffic from the urolagnia community, simply identify as "panty wetting." Such sites are more likely to include more overtly sexual models and situations and purposeful (as opposed to accidental) wetting.
