In recent times, however, the Japanese-language loan-word 'omorashi' (or 'omo' for short) has grown popular and well-understood by fetish communities worldwide. Outside of Japan, 'omorashi' has not always been clearly distinguished from the broader categories of urolagnia or 'water sports', of which omorashi can be considered a specific form or sub-genre. Sub-genres of omorashi include 'omorashi yagai' (public urinary desperation or wetting), ' omutsu omorashi' (wetting oneself in a diaper), bedwetting, as well as a wide variety of cross-over with other garment fetishes. While urinary desperation and 'wetting' fetishes are not inherently or exclusively Japanese, the clear distinction and definition of 'omorashi' as a specific sub-genre of urolagnia media has turned it into a loan-word amongst fetish communities worldwide. Omorashi ( Japanese: おもらし / オモラシ / お漏らし, 'to wet oneself'), sometimes abbreviated as simply 'omo', is a form of fetish subculture first catagorized and predominately recognized in Japan, in which participants experience arousal from the idea or feeling of having a full bladder and potentially wetting themselves, or from witnessing another person in that situation.
