Anyone else's kid afraid of his/her pee?

My son is 2 years old and about a month or so again we tried potty training. We decided he wasn't ready since he would hop off the potty screaming when he peed. The issue now is he screams bloody murder in the bath and hold his penis and butt. He has never been a fan of the bath but tonight DH (I can't give him a bath alone because he gets so upset) and I almost fell in because he was trying to climb on us to get out. He also freaks out if I am changing his diaper and leave him naked too long.

I try to tell him that if he has to pee in the bath it is OK. But he is so historical he won't listen and when I try to tell him later on he doesn't pay attention (ignores us if we bring up the bath). We never got mad at him for peeing when we were trying potty training so I am not sure where this intense fear has come from.

So....my question is has anyone dealt with something like this and what did you try to help them get over it?

    Honestly he sounds too young for pt. is he asking to asking or are you initiating here? Just don't even talk about the potty moving forward for a while. Revisit in 6 months to a year. He should be dry through naps and some nights. Now as for current issue, i tend to be unorthodox with different parenting techniques lol. But in this situation, I would want to calm him with the bath. maybe crazy but i would try a swim diaper on him and wash all around the diaper. Then when you are ready to end the bath ask him to stand and hold your shoulders. Talk him through it step by step and quickly remove diaper and wash/rinse and remove him from tub as fast as you can. You could also try a shower but if he is having issues with being naked the swim diaper sounds like best trick to try first. Good luck.
    Yeah we decided he wasn't ready for the potty. We won't be trying again for a while.

    Thanks for the swim diaper idea, we will be trying that next bath time!
