I was having this discussion with member MickD the other day. We were talking about his efforts to get his girlfriend to accept his diapers. I came up with the following scale of various degrees which your "significant other" accepts (or not) your diapers. Maybe I should call this the "DiaperPailPat Scale of Partnerial Diaper Acceptance". LOL.
0 - You're single so this doesn't apply.
1 - "You sick pervert! You need psychiatric help! I'm leaving you!" (door slams)
2 - They know about it, they hate it, they won't talk about it, try to ignore it, don't ever do it around them.
3 - They know, don't understand, don't participate, but otherwise don't much care.
4 - They know, they're supportive, they know it's part of you, but will not participate.
5 - They know, they will sometimes participate in a passive way (let you wear around them, to bed, etc).
6 - They know, think you're cute, are somewhat turned on by seeing you diapered, and participate in an active way (diaper you, change you, encourage you to wear).
7 - Basically #6 plus they incorporate your diapers into your sex lives (go to bed in your wet diapers, this leads to sex, during sex they baby talk / humiliate you and do anything else related to help you enjoy yourself).
8 - They actually wear and enjoy diapers WITH you.
My wife has spent most of our marriage between 5 and 7. At one point she tried 8 for a while but I don't think she liked wearing diapers (she said at the time that diapers reminded her of having a Kotex pad between her legs during a period). When my kids were in diapers she dropped down to a 4 (she just wasn't able to diaper my kids and diaper me and keep the two separate, so she quit participating with me for a few years).
What about the rest of you?
