Involuntary urination is the focus of most approaches to incontinence. A continuous dribble would grow uninteresting fast. Precontinent and continent urination is episodic, with relatively long periods of filling followed by a short emptying. However, for urination to be an interesting event, it needs to be an event. Different ABDLs will place differing values these qualities.Įpisodic urination is something that is generally taken for granted. In addition to being part of the idealization of babyhood, precontinence has some key qualities that might make it desirable: It is episodic, involuntary, and novel. The child develops the ability to delay urination when the bladder is full and some ability to initiate urination when it isn't. This also alters the reflexes that controlled precontinence. The process is under complete control, just not conscious control.Īs the brain and nervous system develop, the toddler gains an ability to sense the state of his bladder and to control his outer sphincter. The bladder drains, and the muscles along the urethra then eject any residual urine. At a point, the micturition reflex is triggered the bladder contracts and the inner sphincter relaxes. As the bladder fills, the inner sphincter contracts to hold the urine. In newborns, urination is fully controlled. It also might be pleasant to enjoy the irony of the pursuit: Some ABDLs seek incontinence as a way to approximate an infantile state - a state of being pre-wired for continence.
Otherwise, they might find what they were working for wasn't actually what they wanted.
Urination is under reflexive control until the ability for unconscious and conscious control develops.ĪBDLs who are considering urinary incontinence might wish to take a step back and give some thought to what qualities they are seeking. However babies aren't merely incontinent, but precontinent. These methods cripple some function to try to approximate baby-like wetting. That is, either why ABDLs would want to become incontinent, or how particular methods could be used to cause incontinence. Much of the discussion among ABDLs about incontinence focuses on either the 'why' or the 'how'.
