Taking Him To The Potty
When he’s not in diapers, something I like to do with my boyfriend is take him to the potty when he has to pee. It’s a fun little ritual for when you don’t have any diapers to hand (they can be expensive!) or just want a break from them. I have him ask me nicely, “Mommy, I need to go pee-pee! Please will you help me?” while doing a cute potty dance. I check him first to make sure he hasn’t already had an accident, then I take him by the hand and lead him to the bathroom like he’s a silly little boy who can’t go by himself. Once we’re at the potty, I undo his belt and pull his pants and underwear all the way down to his ankles. Then I stand slightly behind him and hold his little willy for him while he pees. Sometimes when I try and direct his pecker at the potty, he gets a stiffie! Boys can be so silly! When he’s done, I pull his pants back up and show him how to flush the toilet and wash his hands like a big boy. He usually finds it a mortifying experience from start to finish. He hates being treated like a child almost as much as he loves it, and the drawn-out experience of being taken to the potty to do a pee can end up being even more embarrassing for him than just wetting his diaper. He gets to use the toilet, but he doesn’t get to feel like a grown-up.
On a related note, before I started doing this I never realized how often boys dribble into their underwear after peeing. They do it pretty much every time! And it’s not always a few little drops either, sometimes it’s quite a big spurt! I think a lot of women know about this issue, but they don’t appreciate the extent of it. The belief that men belong in diapers would be much more commonly held if they did. It’s even worse when they’re drunk. When my boyfriend goes out with his friends, I always put him in pull-ups, but he’s not actually expected to use them. They’re only meant to be a reminder of his place. But I take them off and inspect them when he gets home, and they’ll often be quite wet! He won’t have done a full pee in them, but he’ll have dribbled so much after using the toilet that there will be a noticable pee-pee smell, even if the padding isn’t obviously stained. It’s crazy how this problem is totally ignored! It warrants the use of pads at the very least, but since it’s a permanent state of affairs, unlike a woman’s time of the month, it really justifies full-time absorbent underwear in my opinion.
