I think I’m on the severe end. I got caught so many times as a child because my desire was so strong I couldn’t hide it. As an adult I have gone through so many binges all my friends know I wear nappies. I don’t have any other sexual desires apart from nappies and me becoming incontinent. I feel comfortable wearing nappies 24/7. The more I’ve worn the less I’m binging/purging. I wear pretty steady now. Wearing pretty consistently even when the mood doesn’t take me I’ve noticed the intense desire to become incontinent has lessened and I’m not seeking that now. I know I would regret incontinence and started kegel exercises to strengthen my sphincters as I have noticed them becoming weaker/sensitive.
For me is not sexual I enjoy diapers and bottle and pacifier but only when by myself, and I don’t age play I just like to drink from the bottle so I would say around 30 percent I think is a emotional thing too
I’m just a DL. It’s sexual for a few days after not wearing for a while. I’ll binge for a while, because I sometimes can’t wear for a bit depending on work.
DL - I wear diapers 75% of the time now, I’ll always wear a diaper or Goodnite to bed. If I go to the mall or shopping I will be diapered. It’s lifestyle, comfort, with a dash of anxiety relief.
AB - I find it very relaxing to sit back and drink warm milk out of a baby bottle, and use a pacifier. If I could I would sleep in footed PJs everynight with a paci clipped on. I LOVE using a pacifier whenever I get the chance.
I’m an infantilist, very slightly AB but mainly nappies - for me - are sexual and I’m a bit of an addict, I’m slightly patriotic (as well) so they’re nappies
My deal is mixed. I never stopped using paci, diapers came late (in 2010) and all of that is sexual. But I’m not into baby dress etc., may because I love BDSM toys and games.
DL. Don’t own any other paraphernalia besides diapers. Half my stash are AB dips but that’s just for variety and product quality or fit. 70% non sexual. It’s like a happy pill.
Your post helped me to think about this differently than I have in the past. It’ll be a while before I can compile all my thoughts in an effective manner but the time element of your post was the key. I am more DL than AB but my AB tendencies have increased over the years. There have been times where I’ve wished to be incontinent in order to justify my DL desires but am now extremely grateful for my continence and have absolutely no desires to lose that.
I had started to write about a 3D model where the axes (plural of axis) are AB, DL, and continence would represent an individual at a given point of time. It is a start but not complete because somehow you need to distinguish between the desires and the actions of each plain. There would also need to a separate representation where the three aspects are plotted over time because I know that my desires have been sinusoidal with occasional step functions over time. If I ever consolidate these thoughts I’ll start a new thread dedicated to them.
I am 100% DL and 0% AB. I wear 24/7 for fun and comfort. It started for sexual enjoyment; but, that quickly subsided. I just love wearing, and wetting, my pull ups. :(y):
100% DL with very very very little in the adult baby field. For me I just enjoy wearing, wetting, and messing diapers as a sexual thing. I know some people might be pressed about that but sorry lmao. I am also into the “forced regression” aspect of it and would love to get into the BDSM side of being a DL. Need to find a partner for that first lmao.
Its a fluid position for me, sometimes I can just be a diaper lover, sometimes its sexual, but always at its heart is a little boy that desires love and to feel safe, sometimes I don’t admit that. I have found this is far more than a kink or fetish for me, I went two years without and i was actually kinda miserable, thought I was over all of this and had figured out the why and cause of me desire to wear diapers and be little, I kinda did, but it doesn’t stop the desire, and the desire has become almost physical, I honestly sleep better, this affects everything in my life, a simple diaper at bedtime is a huge deal for my mental and emotional health, as well as my physical well being, along with fully accepting that all though this is a bit odd, its perfectly ok and I am not defective for want to wear and use diapers, suck on paci, drink from a bottle, or watch cartoons. I was dismissive of this part of my identity as I was ashamed of it, I feel much better if I just surrender to my desire. I also try to be discreet in public, I seem to be back to wearing 24/7, not sure if that’s affordable really but I can make it work if it gives me this better quality of life.
