Sports Wettings Vol. 2

Finally, the long-awaited follow up to Volume 1, now featuring athletes from around the world proudly and openly wetting themselves without shame!  

Well, maybe minus a couple of them.  Like this first talented Olympian.  This photo went viral in 2020 & had to have been a bummer as it overshadowed anything else she did that year at the Olympics, at least in the mind of the general public.  The athlete is gymnast Emilie Le Pennec of France doing a move none of us could ever hope to pull off.  So what if she sprang a little leak through her leotard?

These next two articles by women--both runners--are titled "All the Cool Kids Pee Their Pants" and "Only the Coolest Kids Pee Their Pants," respectively, and they feature female athletes owning up to this very common issue with great humor & even a sense of pride.  See for yourself:

""All the cool kids pee their pants"

"Only the Coolest Kids Pee Their Pants"

Words can't express how great it feels to see women flooding their Filas & soaking their Sportech in public instead of hiding from it in shame.  Attitudes are definitely softening to all things pee.  There was a time not long ago when such a condition would've caused many women to give up sports entirely, but not anymore.  And what a shame that would be considering their male counterparts are pulling stunts like this:

Soccer referee Denis da Silva Ribeiro Serafim took a leak in his pants without taking his shorts down as he was being filmed on TV ahead of kick-off before the game even got started.  Right in centre field!   🤯

Dirty secret:  Rugby players piss their pants to avoid being tackled!

Yup, while women are just now making an uneasy peace with their accidental sports wettings & getting dragged all over the internet for it in many cases, male athletes are deliberately pissing themselves all over the track & field with no shame!  As it should be, but wow!

Powerlifter soaks the floor while deadlifting


In this article we have a powerlifter making a case for normalizing wetting in the gym in an article titled "Can We Just Let Pee Pee Be?" She goes so far as to suggest that incontinent lifters need not even wear protection if they choose not to, and that it's nobody's business as urine doesn't hurt anyone and this is such a common problem.  Not sure I can agree there--we're all responsible for cleaning up our own mess & the gym would quickly become a stinking urinal if everyone just peed where they stood with no protection--but I absolutely agree that there's nothing "gross" or abnormal about the condition itself. 







Next we have a distance runner from Edinburgh who has become the de-facto spokeswoman for breaking records while breaking down the stigma around incontinence.  She was "forced to wet herself" to break her own record and has experienced incontinence for 10 years according to the article that opens with the quote "I had to wet myself.  I'm not ashamed of it."  THANK YOU for your honesty & bold courageousness, ma'am!  





And here's a thread (with pic) of a guy wetting his jeans because the Colts won their game, which seems to be a bit of a growing trend.  Let's hope it keeps growing like that dark patch on his jeans!






More pee-soaked athletes:

"I peed my pants on rebounder.  So what?" reads the caption with this TikTok vid

And this male runner tells the tale of wetting himself in the rain to beat his best time, proving it's not a gender thang but a runner thang.  




...aaaand the inevitable VICE article on the subject, which actually isn't too bad considering it's VICE.  Excerpt:

“The first time I ever realized I was having bladder issues was during a race,” says Audrey Michaelson, a senior division I cross country and track athlete at Loyola University in Chicago. “It was actually one of the best track races of my life. I was racing 800 meters, and, through the first lap, I was feeling strong. I started to kick with 200 meters left. I was flexing all my muscles while sprinting down the final stretch on the track, and I couldn’t feel anything. Every time I took a step, I felt like my bladder was releasing and I couldn’t hold it in.”

That about concludes this edition of Sports Wettings.  Have you ever had an accident while working out really hard?  Or maybe you used the opportunity as a cover for some covert Omo fun?  Wonder how many athletes now look forward to a good pants soaking after their game or workout since having a few genuine accidents in the past?  It's certainly becoming more talked about & thus less stigmatized, which is great for all of us!  This is how we normalize things that are already "normal"--by talking openly about them.

Exercise, team sports and especially Olympic sports are gritty and grimey.  If you wouldn't be ashamed of perspiration while exercising, you shouldn't be ashamed of a little pee.  By all means clean up after yourself indoors but don't for a second let anyone make you feel less-than for your natural bodily functions.  As I've repeated until I'm blue in the face, urine is not a disease vector any more than tears, sweat or saliva, all of which are ubiquitous in places like gyms & locker rooms, so anyone who flips out about a little wee while ignoring the other germ-laced bodily fluids is being biased & showing their ignorance.
