What makes you so sure of being only a DL and not also an AB?

I am a DL. I love the feeel of wearing a diaper. I have had the diaper bug as long as I can remember. Not into any of the baby stuff, but have a desire to include someone in my wearing.

I wear the diapers purely as a fetish, it turns me on. As soon as I climax it goes back off in one hell of a hurry. Get very ashamed, and hate myself.

I too am a DL. It was age 4 that my mom put diapers on me again for the night, gave me something that made me go in the night, for allergies. I have loved to mess and wear diapers ever since then, but only the diaper side. Not AB, though I wondered what it would be like, so I tried it once, and it wasn't "value added". I once tried baby things, but it was not comfortable for me, though there are lots who enjoy the baby things too - we each have our own thing.

I used to go through periods where I was ashamed of wearing diapers, and even throw them out, but after a while yearned for them again. Now I don't feel ashamed, though I keep it all to myself and friends here. It's part of what I am, and I have fully accepted it, knowing it's not harmful, but is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction. So I have learned just to carry on with a productive life and accept the diapers as part of my "normal". Life can be great - no need to feel guilty or ashamed. But I will keep it to myself.

I love my cloth diapers and plastic panties and the whole idea that make feel like a three year old toddler. That feels wonderful 😄 😄 😄 😄

I am certainly a DL since becoming dependent on nappies I have come to really enjoy wearing them. I couldn't imagine life without being in nappies now.

Wear at night for the not so rare bed wetting accident but definitely enjoy them. A DL only.

Interesting question. When I was first into diapers I was totally DL. The entire experience was all about diapers and plastic pants. Actually the greater interest was in the plastic pants. Anyways, I consider my fetish an addiction. That said I was always seeking a better high. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that diapers are associated with baby things. So in search of that bigger thrill I started adding elements of the Adult Baby. They indeed upped the high. So I continued on experimenting. Over the years I've tried just about every AB scenario involving a diaper I could think of. I've had some really great experiences. When fantasizing (a big part of the kink for me) there's just so much more available to the AB than just a diaper. But now, I'm heading back more and more to just DL. It seems the basis of the fetish for me is really plastic pants and diapers. I still partake of AB elements from time to time though.

I wonder how many AB's are really just diaper lovers that let the thrills run away with them....... The flip side being how many DL's would play AB if they were willing to let go and see where it took them. Getting in the way of that is the reality that it just isn't possible to play AB. So with taboos being what they are, even experiencing wearing a diaper goes beyond the safe zone of a relationship. I've personally come to the conclusion that ABDL is a spectrum and that individuals reside in either all the way or on one section of the spectrum. Then again there's the true DL that just found diapers exciting. Sort of like picking up a watermelon and screwing the hell out of it and finding it felt really good....LOL

Totally DL it's diapers and plastic pants 24/7 for me no interest in AB at all but if there happy it's OK with me.

I am deffenatly ab and dl I love my cloth diapers with plastic pants nightly.then I have my time when I like to be babied too,with bottles,pacifier ,blankie etc.

I was not a dl when forced into diapers but after several yrs have become very secure and a dl but no ab.

I'm a DL - love to wear a nappy and plastic pants - to cum in pee in and poo in. - But AB frillies and dummies and cribs not for me. - So I'm a DL not a AB nor a ABDL

Big babies ( like me ) belong in diapers! At first 60 yrs ago I was just a DL. Last few years I know that I am also an AB, no games or role play, just onesies, baby bottles, pacifiers, plastic diaper pants, & of course Diapers! I love watching cartoons with the babies wearing diapers, or getting spanked. A fantasy of mine would be to have my mind in a body od a 3 yr old, still in diapers, and acting up to provoke a spanking, being held in place the size of a 3 yr old.

I like wearing diapers but I am not at all interested in AB. However I would like to have a women change me. That is as far as I want to go.

There's an ABDL spectrum with some people being totally AB and some being totally DL and then there's everything in between. For me, I sit very close too the DL end.

I have never felt any desire to be dressed as a baby, be bottle fed, suck on a pacifier or be treated as a little baby. But I do have fantasies about a brother/father looking after me as a young boy (say 10 years old) or a teenager (up to 18 years). My fantasies extend up to a master dominating me at my real age.

Because my feelings are all derived from the diapers and the diaper changes, and not the clothing or the games or the food, I don't consider myself an AB - I guess some would disagree. Its more a dom/sub thing for me.

I have no desire to wear baby stuff other than nappies and plastic pants but have the greatest respect for those who do like wearing. If it makes you happy then why not.

"I'm not at all into typical babying, but I consider it pretty obvious that the fact that I'm wearing a diaper right now, just wet it, is not really adult. It is being a baby....

I disagree. Even when i gave up all of my life, every brick and cent of it, to my mistress, I didn't feel like a baby. I felt like a submissive. I didn't use a crib, didn't use a bottle, didn't "goo-goo" or ever think of myself as a baby. I just felt like someone really committed to putting my money (literally) where my mouth was in being a submissive.

I've read every post in this thread, just now, up to this one.

I am writing this because I haven't recognized seeing any posts about being DL simply because of being submissive.

In my view of the submissive spectrum, there is a willingness to surrender bodily functions on command, and only on command.

If I'm told to take a certain laxative, suppository cocktail or diuretic cocktail, I'll do as I am told. I know enough medicine to know when and if to refuse, when possible (see below). Also, my former mistress would never intentionally hurt me physically.

If I am told to try to hold an induced excretion for a given period, or until further notice, I do my very best to do that. Even if i fail, I try to fail by dribbles from front and or back, instead of a gushing failure. I hope for comfort during and after any accident, but I Have a nearly irresistible compulsion to obey. If I'm to be given a drug to make me excrete or sleep or something else, I don't think of a bottle. I think of compliance, and start preparing for the cramps, or other unpleasant effect. If she has me close my eyes while being dosed, I try to relax as I worry about whatever may be about to happen to me. I don't think of being tucked in, given a bottle, changed by her. I'm generally required to clean myself up after any accident that she has forced me to have.

If I get babied, it is wonderful. But what I require is that I be true to my submissive side, not that I be treated gently because of it.

Over the years I've been into both. That's one of the great things about this fetish--so many different aspects of it to try and potentially enjoy!

I will say that I was much more into the AB stuff before becoming a parent. Having real babies around sort of took away all of the desire to be one myself.

I know that I've always been DL because of how much I love diapers--wearing them, wetting / loading them, smelling them, washing them, folding them, just looking at them stacked up on the bed. Wet diapers always make me horny. Being treated like a baby? Not so much.

That being said I do love occasionally wearing a onesie over my diapers and sticking a paci in my mouth.

I've got to go with Stevewet on this. Ive, flirted shall we say, with the baby aspect of it and it's just not for me. All the gear makes it a hassle for me with no emotional return. I love/prefer baby diapers though; I can't figure me out.

If that's your bag, more power to you. Seriosly, a guy wearing a diaper doesn't have much room to call out another for wearing a onesie.

I know I have no little side.

Whether I am an AB would, I suppose, depend on how you define AB. My wardrobe is quite babyish in a lot of ways and I do have a few babyish habits (like sucking almost constantly on a pacifier) - but to me, I use a paci at 21 for the same reason I used one at 6 - because I hadn't outgrown it yet. There's no real separation between my adult side and my babyish side.

I 'm ab /dl . I enjoy the time that I can behave as a ab and also enjoy the time that I wear diapers.

I had become incontinent due to a spinal cord injury. I was put in a diaper at the doctor's office. I was so embarrassed, and upset. I hated them at first, the more I wore them the more I enjoyed wearing them. I'm just a dl. I have no desire to have bottles or to be feed, so no ab here.

The pleasure that I get from being diapered comes from how it feels and the taboo of it. Goodnites are one of my favourite diapers and I think they look great but even with a kids pullup on it isn't an AB thing to me. I have no idea if I'm an AB because haven't tried it yet.

I am just a DL, no interest in baby stuff except diapers and plastic pants, but I do do age play. I age play any where from six to fifteen being a bed wetter or diaper lover.

Purely DL !

I like girls in diapers. At a summer camp I went to as a teen, I saw a girl my age in a one piece swimsuit and a diaper. She also wore tights to protect her legs. So, I think that makes me a DL.

I have also always liked girls in footed pajamas. I don't wear them myself, and I don't like the behavioral activities that are associated with AB. So, I don't figure I'm an AB.

DL only. I've enjoyed giving myself golden showers all my life and occasionally drinking some of my own pee. I've decided I might as well enjoy my pee fetish by wearing diapers and peeing in them. I have no interest whatsoever in AB. It's all about the pee.

I find the thought of AB does nothing for me, I do not like seeing babies or even youngsters in nappies although seeing adults wearing them seemsto sit well with me and on those odd occassions I have spotted adults wearing I do rather enjoy the sight even though I would not dream of doing anything other than recording a sighting on here.

So no AB for me.

Each to their own ☺

DL only. Nothing about the AB scene turns me on. I just love wearing and wetting nappies.

I would be curious to find a diaper loving girl to change and to change me, but I don't think it would go to the AB side.

Definitely ABDL. That doesn't really give the right answer though. I'm really DL with a fascination with BDSM. I've come to realize that the AB side of me was really an extension into BDSM with all its nifty thrills from pain to humiliation to all the fun head spaces non vanilla sex provides. Adult Baby for me is really a dark unforgiving experience. All about being controlled and becoming a plaything for a powerful authoritarian. I am infinitely luck to have a life partner that understands my need to go to my dark place.

Diapers and plastic pants is where it all started years ago. Fantasizing about a controlling authoritative figure forcing me into diapers for whatever misbehavior I've committed sends chills thru me. So, it's not much of a jump to role playing a bed wetting adolescent or even an adult that needs an "attitude improvement". This results in being forced back into rubber pants and diapers for my lack of maturity. Spanking, restraints, mouth soaping and whatever punishments my "caretaker" feels are necessary creates an unreal rush. That grew into being forced into ridiculous baby dresses and to use my diapers while being supervised as part of the role playing. I'm expected to demonstrate my limited maturity by keeping my diapers dry. But when the pressure builds to where I have trouble controlling myself, I'm told to hold it like an adult. Eventually I fail. I'm berated and reduced for my infantile act and lack of maturity and manhood. All the other infant necessities are then added for more drama in our session. Bottles, bibs pacifiers, baby crib (with restraints) make great tools in the regression. Especially when an emotionally bruising lecture goes along with the addition of each item. Did I mention enemas? Oh yeah, that's a real mind bender when administered as a means of adjusting a bad attitude. Especially when thickly diapered and constantly supervised with a locked bathroom door. It's only a matter of time....

Eventually this all ends up with "diaper training". My plastic pants are pulled down and my wet diaper is unpinned. A pair of snap on plastic pants are snapped on my bare bottom. My wet diaper is pinned back on and my wet plastic pants are pulled back up my legs over my diaper. I'm given a bottle along with a stern warning that I had better drink it "or else" ….the threat is real too, backed up with her paddle. Eventually with Nanny controlling my bathroom privileges, as time goes by, I loose control and have to wet in my plastic "training" pants. I'm required to notify my her, which results in a conversation about my lack of control. I'm then marched back to my crib. I'm placed in it with my pissy diaper and very slippery plastic pants for about a half hour. By now there's a puddle trapped between my legs and leaking into my diaper.

Nanny comes in and explains that she feels I need to to demonstrate my maturity by showing her I can at least control "adult male needs". To prove to her, I'm expected to play with my plastic pants and diaper. I normally have a hard time getting started so nanny always starts rubbing my diaper. Once she sees the intended results, I'm required to carry on till conclusion. Her lecture darkly turns again to my lack of manhood and what she feels is the necessary permanent answer. Often I'm wearing a very short baby dress. The sensation of being weak and exposed for some reason is greatly intensified by this. The cool air below the lace trimming on the dress showing off my soaked baby pants brings about a feeling of extreme vulnerability. I'm slapped on my thigh until I admit that I'm just a big baby that deserves to be permanently treated like a misbehaving toddler.

By now I'm ready to loose my control. Nanny is well aware and forces to me to keep playing with my plastic pants. I have to tell her I want to be her diapered, baby dress wearing pansy. She explains how this is where I really need to be. With that I'm allowed to fill my plastic pants with a BIG shamey mess. As I drift down from my "accident", I'm required to explain how I just demonstrated my inability to show any kind of self control. I have to tell her that I really need to be put in diapers. With her paddle clearly in sight, I find it difficult to offer an objection. After requiring me to lay in my messy diapers and baby outfit for some time to think about what I just did, she allows me shower up and I'm put into clean diapers for the day.

After our session I'm pretty well burned out on both the DL and the AB for a while. But we both know the immature husband will soon need a readjustment. Till then we resume the normal adult world, whatever the hell that is. So yes, I'm an Adult Baby. But not the warm and fuzzy, lovey dovey cutesy kind every body thinks when AB is talked about.
