Is it really so unusual being DL or AB ?

Diapers. ARE they unusual? ARE they unnatural - for ADULTS? Are adults who don't NEED diapers but LIKE/LOVE to be in them unnatural? Are they sick? Are they crazy? Are they weird? OMG! Diapers are the thing we GREW UP IN, until our selfish, lazy, "tired" parents decided WE needed to be "potty trained" - peeing and pooping in the "sanitary" toilet, whisking an integral part of us away without us understanding it, except that it was a "good thing". Peeing and pooping were NATURAL for us. And, the sensation of excretion, and the sensation of it being contained close to our skin was just fine, NATURAL, and NOT offensive. Only POTTY TRAINING made us aware of the seriousness and "filth" of excretion. Were it not for potty training, a whole lot more of the adult world would still be in diapers, and quite happily so! Now, it's for the incontinent among us, and so much with an element of shame to have to wear something absorbent to take care of what we cannot control...

DL or AB? AB usually means that a person needs to schedule time or design some sort of "session" to fulfill their desire to be "babied" or relive babydom. DL, well, a person can be diapered and use them, very discreetly, under regular adult clothes. It just depends upon HOW discreet a DL wants to BE, or NOT!

We all have our own thing. We only learn shame and loathing from other people. Wanna' be a DL? Be one. Wanna' be an AB? BE one. What I have learned in being a DL over the last FORTY years is that the only shame I need to feel is the shame that EYE feel that I NEED to feel. Or NOT. I have learned that when EYE became comfortable with WHO I am and HOW I am, and that my being different, being a DL, LOVING to be in diapers while NOT NEEDING them, and while the rest of the world might not understand the fact that I LOVE being a DL and am WAY comfortable with it, and indulge myself often, my being a DL is ME. Screw the rest of the world. If I don't impose ME on anybody else, if I don't make anybody else uncomfortable, if I don't require someone else to tolerate me to accomodate me, I'm doing my own thing. I'm doing what pleases me. I'm doing what fulfills me. I'm doing what makes ME comfortable. And, THAT is being in diapers whenever and wherever I want, and using them fully as I desire to.

Screw the rest of the world! Enjoy what you enjoy! Diapers are NOT a bad thing, and being a DL or AB is not a bad thing, either. To be honest, the sooner we all look at ourselves as being ELITIST, having OUR own thing, the better we all will be. We are NOT sad and sorry because diapers are the norm with the infant. Diapers ARE a viable and acceptable product for humans of ALL ages! Geez! Be REAL! It's FACT!

So, Dudes and Dudettes? Where are YOU? Oh, yeah. There are Dudettes out there as well as Dudes. I married a woman I fell in love with before I blew her off to find my perfect DL woman. I WILL convert her. I WILL bring her around. She WILL become a DL wife, and accomodate me, to HER benefit, as well as mine, in time. I KNOW it.

Lovingly bring your SO in. Be kind, be intelligent, be smart. HAVE PATIENCE. Pushing a SO to accept you or your situation will defeat what you hope to accomplish every time! Make having your SO MORE benefit from accomodating you than what YOU will feel in fulfillment! Male or female, REREAD this! How YOU present the situation will impact how you end up being fulfilled - or NOT.

Think. Be intelligent. Be all that you can be. Be all that you can OFFER to the special person in your life. The REST of your life depends upon it...

You said a mouth full! but, i think that you are rite.

I agree tom!!!! who has the right to judge me and my need for diapers. why is it ok for me to need them and use them in public but the rest of you who have no medical need to not, or be judged weird by socitey? its not werid for me and i need em so if someone who does not like me needing diapers ok then you come over and wash all my pissy clothes and sheets becuase you dont aprove of me wearing them

I do not care what anyone thinks! I not only need to wear diapers, but also love the comfort that they afford me, as well as the security and welling being derived from not having to plan my day. Wearing a thick diaper just lets me go on about my day knowing that when I have to pee there is no shame or concern where I am or what I am doing. If others are around when I am peeing it doesn't have to be anybody's concern. My diapers give me the comfort and security I need to get through the day. 😉

I would say on average it is no more unusual the "some" of the fetishes people are into.. have you checked of some of the wetset links I mean to say they are extreme is an understatement. Personally I think cutting slits in your skin, or serving as a human toilet is way more unusual and in my opinion sick twisted and wrong, after all these people are operating of their own volition right? well the point being we should all get over our abdl hang-ups and then just accept ourselves besides the majority of us are probably fairly intelligent, financially stable and otherwise quite well adjusted.

Norm is a friend of mine... but other than that it's anything you want it to be... i like to think of the norm being anything that isn't 😮

~D~

??? I agree that we shouldn't feel bad about loving diapers. I don't medically need them like mamasboy but I feel like I need them for me. I would wake up with a wet bed often if I didn't wear them. But I'm sure I could relearn to go dry at night. 😮 I don't want to. 😁 If I want to wear diapers all day I do. 😳 I've gotten so I don't care if other people know, as much as I used to. I buy them all the time and it doesn't bother me like it used to. So pbbbbbbbb 😜 to those dumb peoples that think we are weird.

I think it is normal> Everybody to their own and I was always told that if you enjoy it or if it feels good DO IT

It is normal for me if I think it is...if I do not inflect it on anyone else, if I don't hurt myself or others....normal.....what do I think/feel is more important question here.

Im a dl and love every minute of it. Im also a crossdresser and wear everything femme even tampons

The bottom line is simple: If you enjoy something and it does not hurt or bother anyone else than who cares what anyone else thinks!

I DON'T think it's unusual to wear diapers, as if it weren't for modern plumbing and customs reguarding waste, we would still all be pooping our pants and wetting our selves

Diapers are normal. everybody had to wear them maybe some bosdy else wanted them more than over

Tom, you're right. Wanting to be in diapers is something that a person may like. Like any other fetish, love, or like... diapers shouldn't and aren't unusual. It's just what we like 😃

Sounds like rant to me, somebody blowing a trumpet with alot of positive words... the people that think a fetish or any other activity on this planet that does not hurt another soul is a bad thing - needs their heads examined. time is Now to walk tall id rather have this obscure fetish than to be another common sheep out there

According to the most recent article I read on infantilism, there are some 30,000 estimated adult babies in the U.S. Much blurring of the lines between adult baby and diaper lovers exist. 30,000 out of 300,000,000 is sizeable or a small percent to you? Anyway, for me, I finally got to the point where I am just fine with being 1 in 10,000. I am special and unique and don't harm anyone with my needs.

Well stated Chrispi. diapers are just diapers. I like them and use them. They are not the main thing in my life, but I don't want to not wear diapers.

Are we a little off kilter? Definitely. Does it matter? It might if you want to run for political office and are outed on it. Otherwise deal with it as you see fit.

ITS STRANGE, WEIRD, AND UN NORMAL. AND I DAM WELL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched the audience in that video broadcast on national TV where the woman was being interviewed about wearing diapers. The audience had a look mostly of open mouth smiles and fascination. I didn't see anyone looking disgusted or disapproving.

I suspect wearing diapers, even occasionally, is more common than many of us think. Any polls I have seen have been within the diaper wearers - no general poll of the population.

Is anyone aware of general population poll?

My first post!!

I do think its a bit eccentric... but harmless. I have been wearing and using for over 10 years. I have gently brought my SO into my use, and she is finding it less and less weird as time goes by. (Her kinks are weirder than mine!)

Over time I have learned that I cant sleep well without my diapers, that I really feel I can relax and rest much better than without them. If I can do that without a pill or drug, is that a bad thing? I don't ask anyone else about my kink. Its not a common kink, compared to bondage, etc, but so what?

I don't force this on anyone else. Moreover, I do all I can to keep my wearing a secret, as theres no medical need. When/if I have a need I will likely make it less secret.

People can always find fault with others, no matter what the subject. I don't believe our interest in diapers is any different than anyone else's interest in anything else. The problem is that we are interested in something that has to do with bodily elimination which has an "ew" factor for many. For that reason, we need to be a bit discrete about revealing our special interest. Because of the body waste factor, I don't believe we will ever be openly accepted into main stream society, but as long as we don't impose our interest on others, and as long as we support our AB/DL community among ourselves, we should be fine. I think it's more important to accept ourselves than it is for others to accept us.
