Bed wetter

After years of dispering up for loss of bladder control I have become a DL.

On top of this problem, I am gay which makes it difficult to have a relationship.

It is hard telling any one that you wet and need diapers

Hey! I'm not gay, but I don't consider it to be really that much of a problem. You just have to find somebody, that will love you despite your health problems. Seriously, the one thing I have realized in my life and after basically endless struggles with incontinence is that IC isn't really such a problem as people make it to be. I was one of those people, that were very mad at life and for most part of my life I had minor depressions that had come and go. I was afraid, that I won't find anyone that will love me because I wear diapers etc.

It's not a problem at all, people love each other for something more than just physical capability and therefore being incontinent makes it harder to find potential partner, but definitely selects those that aren't worth your time and your feelings anyway!

A gay man here, I experience both bladder and bowel issues - urge for urine, and little or no warning about impending bowel movements. I wear nappies (diapers) and plastic pants to manage this. I cannot imagine another guy would be able to understand and accept all this.

Nothing difficult about excepting it. Does not bother me

I have only had these issues in recent years - guess its still a matter of coming to terms with IC myself, first.

I have the same issue. I was always a bedwetter and wore plastic diapers to bed. I never could sustain an erection and now have bowel loss. It's very hard to find someone interested in someone who must be covered full time. Most men I know who are incont. cannot get an erection.
