Yes, I think leemyers hit the nail on the head. We are all human, with different needs and desires. Many celebrities have a "hey, look at me!" persona, and there's nothing wrong with it, it gives them the acceptance they are seeking, if only for a fleeting moment. Others have a need to feel "nurtured", someone can tell them a million times that they love them, yet, they need constant reassurance. Our "Love Patterns" are formed very early in life, although we have little to no memory of it. I can't think of anything more nurturing than a diaper change, someone tending to you, getting you out of that foul smelling, uncomfortable thing, wiping your bottom, putting sweet smelling baby powder on you and then placing you in a snug, clean garment. It's our earliest memory of needing someone.
I was also raised in a very abusive household, my step-dad was a violent person,and currently serving a life sentence for murdering his 2nd wife, my mother very uncaring. (I've long ago accepted that my mother did not have the "mommy gene", she got pregnant to try to keep the men in her life) I'm sure that at an early age I longed for some type of nurturing, being told that I was a good person and very much loved, but I wasn't fortunate enough to be in that environment. I know that as far back as I can remember, I have had an affinity for diapers, and always wanted to wear one and use one. I was fascinated by little babies in their fluffy cloth diapers and plastic pants, being able to just "go in their pants" and have loving mothers coo at them while they tended to their needs. As I grew into puberty, it became more and more sexual. (Even before puberty, before I knew what "ejaculation" even was, I still got aroused if I pooped my pants) I've had several failed relationships, only one, my ex-wife, knew about the diaper thing, but definitely was NOT into it. She was accepting at first, but after my son was born, made it very clear she was not comfortable with it, and I had to stop. For the longest time I felt that a Woman would never look at me as an actual "Man", although I can definitely say, aside from the diapers, I am a man through and through, I like all "Man" things. I have since found a woman that is more than just a willing participant. She nurtures me in every way, and although this is exactly what I have longed for in the past 47 years, I have to be very careful to make sure that I place her needs ahead of mine. I can't say it's always easy, but it's what needs to be. The bottom line is, I didn't pick this desire, I was born with it, and have learned to balance this with the rest of my life, and for once, it's no longer a struggle, or a deep, dark hidden secret.
