In this episode we will discuss watersports and other fetishes. Fetishes are when a person requires a particular object or activity in order to achieve orgasm and cannot achieve orgasm without it. Watersports is a fetish involving urine. People enjoy being peed on or peeing on others. This is common in about 26% of the population and is often part of a power exchange dynamic though there are people who have the fetish on its own. Some people enjoy simply watching other pee rather than interacting with the urine. Other people enjoy watching people have 'accidents' - so peeing through their clothes and in Japan there is an entire specific fan group around this type of fetish.
