Gay diapers

If you’re a Daddy to an adult baby boy, the task can seem daunting: first, you need to unpotty train him.

This gave them both the opportunity to express their true selves, form strong friendships with people who understand them, and feel loved.

But no fantasy lasts forever: these identities come with many stigmas. In his survey of around 200 AB/DL men for a 2023 Archives of Sexual Behaviourstudy, Hsu found that less than five percent of respondents–nine people–expressed any sexual attraction to babies.

Kevin Hsu is an assistant professor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University with expertise in sexual orientation. Age play could help people return to a peaceful state of mind from “before [they] had to be the big boy.” This observation is consistent with the findings of Hsu’s study, which showed that 95 percent of respondents engage in AB/DL activities out of a “desire for relaxation, comfort, or stress relief.”

Smook, who identifies as asexual, views diapers purely as a source of comfort.

He doesn’t see this changing anytime soon, so AB/DL creators are forced to host content on independent websites.

People with kinks find solace in independent communities, but AB/DL people are often shut out of these groups as well, according to Hughes. After a year, Brown noticed people were not only buying these products daily but also bringing in their friends to introduce them to AB/DL.

Though McGarvie rarely sees AB/DL clients, she thinks the stigma they face makes them display behaviors similar to victims. To regress him to his ‘true state’: a baby boy who needs his daddy.

But is that the real goal?

I was thinking about this again based on a question in the ABDL Discord from Theo:

As age players, how do we hold onto that sense of childhood while integrating into adult life in a healthy manner?

How Little Should a Little Be?

I’ve had lots of little ones reach out to me.

We market [them] based on color, styles, absorbency, fit, and function.”

Polokoff and Kissee said My Inner Baby is not a sex shop but a safe space where people don’t have to fear judgment. For some it’s a form of escapism or entertainment, while for others it’s a method of therapy or stress-relief, or an innate part of their personality.

Not children.”

Leo and Smook are not their real names; they requested to be identified by their online aliases for fear of social repercussions. Sue McGarvie has worked with couples and victims of sexual assault in the Ottawa region for over 25 years. This expert consensus, however, has not stopped misconceptions from harming the community.

Bias In and Out of the Courtroom 

Ummni Khan, a Carleton University associate professor of law with expertise in kink-related law, said judges are likely to rule against an AB/DL parent in custody battles.

To help him forget about his adult side. “We may engage in sexual activities with each other, but we’re adults. It was only in 2013 that the American Psychological Association reworked the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a psychology manual used globally, to distinguish between kinks and kink-related disorders.
