Has anyone wondered how many couples engage in infantilism?

I've always wondered about this-- there doesn't seem to be any statistics-- as to how many couples-- straight or gay actually do this -- although baby talk and feeding each other are very common practices amoung some. After all -- who would actually admit to using diapers etc. during sexplay.

Personally, I think it is far more common than reported Johnson& Johnson claim they did a survey on the subject and 7% of couples responded to using some sort of baby paraphenalia or role play in their relationship Roleplay that could include for the male or female diapering, bottle/breastfeeding, diaper changing, dressing like babies/ toddlers, diaper wetting/messing-- spanking, public diaper wearing-- etc

higher or lower than 7% ?

Although my wife diapers me, I suspect it is very rare. I think the percentage is probably a lot lower than 7%. Most of that 7% was probably from spanking, which seems a lot more common than infantilism.

Thank-you Linda, for that honest and open account of

your experiences.

Openness seems to be the key. I'm in my 50's and for a long time

thought I was wierd for my diaper fetish-- saw some stories in forum magazine- but could never really open up about it in a relationship for fear of rejection-- not until 97 when I finally got a computer-- did the ab/dl world open up for me.

When I look back on some of my signifigant relationships

and there's only been a handful-- infantilism came up in half of them-- first with a lovely girl who loved to be very girly and feminine-- we diapered each other one time and she wanted

to go farther and wet hers when we got plastic pants-

but sadly-- the relationship ended before we did this.

Another, woman I stayed with for 15 yrs. caught me in

diapers and was willing to baby me -- but I was too hung up

to let go-- I think if I had -- we would still be together.

I believe that an adult baby relationship can bring two

people very close together -- it sort of reaches to the

core of our security-- trust and openness is key-- It seems

like you and Dean have taken the time to develope those

qualities plus a healthy sense of play.

So, in my relationships-- half could have gone the ab/dl

route-- if I only knew then what I know now.

Openness and trust will be key if I manage to find another partner.

Oh yes, I still love to be a baby ( maybe a little bit of

a sissy baby from time to time) But I also enjoyed babying

Barbie -- who was my first great love.

dydees 😄

Certainly would be difficult to ever get an accurate percentage on this issue, I guess one could cull the responses on DL/AB sites and come up with a percentage on that basis but not all DL/AB couples tell their stories on the web. I know me and my wife are part of the 7% but not sure where the total really is.

I'm not sure how many couples do, but it seems that the ones that have stayed hidden all these years, seem to feel they are being excepted as time goes on and are revealing themselves.

My ex-girlfriend and I were together for three years, she's an AB/DL and I'm a DL. We played in the house and publicly (discreetly of course but also daring). I made sure that all her needs were met, when she wanted to be in diapers and be a little girl nothing was driven sexually and I endulged in her needs. But, when she wanted it to be sexually I was also there.

Being with her was a lot of fun. In fact, I just graduated this past week, and she came down for me, and she wanted to reminis in old times, so we got to play again.

I hope other couples that are into this, do get an opportunity to explore. I think when two couples have something so deep and intimite and feel that they have been hiding their feelings, that when they are able to share that part of themselves with another person, everything sexual or non-sexual the experience is increased exponentially.

7% of couples! wow thats a lot , but like you mentioned i reckon the majority of that was to do with spankings or related play. Diapers would not feature so heavily id imagine, still its something every diaper lover likes to think is possible to find. And with the large online communities now its more possible i guess. Ah sure we can all dream right 😁

My wife will remind me to put on a diaper if I have been drinking before bed. She will NOT diaper me because she doesn't want to change the way she views me.

I was with a ladie that let me diaper my self aroud her for 18.5 years but she could not even say the word diaper with out being maddened or embaresd . now I am married to a laddie that not only exsepts me in My diapers but has also set up play days at our fram every frist sat of each month . she also can sew and makes cloths for Me . we are realy happy .she has even woren daipers for me and wet them for me . she is my honny and I hope others can find this to . we started out our dateing trying to scare each other away and well we are married and doing well .

No sorry got my own life to have fun in lol

My wife changes me but I dont think she enjoys watching me wearh them. I think she is just a little shy cause Ive seen her get excited when she puts my pacifier in my mouth.

I think this would be much harder to gauge than figuring out how many people are AB's or DL's. I don't think I could come up with an estimate.

You find couples who are either ABDL's, AB's, or DL's, but not nearly as often as finding couples who only have one person into it.

Silver and I aren't infantilists, but we ARE DL's with a dash of AB thrown in (pacis, footie pajamas, bottles...we just don't act out the baby side, per se)

On some special days my hubby and i will have some rp(role play)😜 We take turn rp on whats inside our mind.

A lot more than you think or at least are willing to tell

My wife and I guard our secret. I imagine most others do also.

I'm kinda skeptical about the 7% number and think it is probably much lower. I would love it to be higher though!

I think probably more then you'd think.

We don't personally know any other couples that do this. We would both be embarrassed, I think, if our secret got out. Which is a large part of the excitement!
