Thank you Ahasha
What I am is a baby. Yes woman do want to have their child out of diapers but that is because they want them to mature.
A Domme should and do want their man to be acceptible to TPE and complete obedience.
What more is a baby than a slave or a sub?


A baby is the most demanding task-master there is! Feeding around the clock, diapers changed constantly, making sure they get what they need without the ability to verbally communicate, protection 24/7, teach them everything, handle them very gently, take all their 'stuff' everywhere you go. Be on call 24/7 to make sure if they need you, you are always there. Lavish them with love and patience, give them most if your time,energy and love. That statement of yours above was a shock. Needy, needy, needy: That's what babies are.

I agree with AAkasha, find a domme who will scene this with you.

Irish
ps: It is different to want a 'Mommie', and for a domme to be kind and loving towards you. My post above was re: "baby's are subs."

What is diff than changing a diaper than tieing an adult or dressing him in
clothes she likes.


If there is no difference between those actions then you should realize that you can be tied up or dressed as a woman instead of having your diaper changed and it would be the same thing.  OH?  It's not the same for you?  You said it was the same for a Domme.   Why couldn't you think of it as the same thing?

Perhaps it's because it's not the same thing....for you or for a Domme.

Not even in proffessional play will I take on an adult baby, that is just a limit for me I cannot swallow. I understand it, but if I am not turned on the slightest by something that I am doing, I can't do it personally or professionally...

Wonderful thread.  Even before replying to the OP, I have to say how much I agreed with the five comments Tammyjo made on this thread.  She already said the majority of what was on My mind even before getting to the end.
 
As to the OP, I have to say it's not something I'm interested in.  From the sound of it, there appear to be a lot more Dommes here than Mommies.  Why that is, I can't say.  I can only speak for Myself and say that it just doesn't do anything for Me.  I've said it on other subjects, too, such as sissification or professional domination.  It just isn't My thing.  Most likely, I'm not going to seek it out because someone else feels that I need to "understand" it or "try" it.  I'm a Dominant female and because of that, I'm probably going to explore the things I want that are appealing to Me.  I'm not saying it's wrong for you, or any of the other ab's who enjoy it.  I'm saying that, like many other Domnes, I prefer My submissive without him being a baby.

Well said. I think AB's have to accept the different dynamics of Infantalism. Most women are reluctant to accept step children, no less an adult in diapers.

Plus, you have to realize not everyone is QUALIFIED to do it. To be a good Parent to a bABy it takes understanding, discipline, nurturing and love. Some people just don't possess these qualities. It is irrational to expect them to have the emotions or commitment that a good Parent-bABy relationship requires. You should be releaved that people who simply aren't capable of such a special relationsip, wisely choose other pursuits.

IMHO, it takes a VERY soecial person. Many just don't have it in their hearts or minds what is required to be a good, loving Parent. We should respect that and allow them to pursue other interests like beating people or shackling them to walls or whatever. No offense, but Ab/Parent play may be too gentle, loving and intimate for them. We should respect that.


You know, you were doing a pretty good job of explaining why AB isn't for everyone until your last couple of posts, and this one is a doozie. You've managed to imply that women who don't want an AB do not posess the ability to understand, discipline, nurture or and love another person? That all they want to do is shackle someone to a wall and beat them. Is that really what you think?

You've tarred and feathered an entire group of women with one brush stroke and don't have a clue who we are or what we are all about as individuals. I have to say that's the number one reason I've no interest (in general) in men who are focused on a particular fetish be it infantilism, sissification etc.... They usually do not have the slightest idea, nor do they care one whit about who I am as a person. All they want is their to have their fetish fulfilled and could care less who is wielding the whip, or in the case of an AB, the baby powder.

And to top it off you are implying that a woman who doesn't want to indulge and AB fetish is selfish, when YOU  (and the OP) are the one's being selfish. You are expecting another person to completely devote herself to the AB needs, to cater to and indulge a fantasy and all the work it requires and to get nothing in return. Yet she is the one who has a faulty character because she doesn't want to indulge you? Talk about twisted logic! But then I guess that's how a baby thinks. It's all about me. Well I'm here to tell you in the simplest way I can that I'm not interested in an AB because it's ALL about me, not you.

Simple huh?

Well, it did seem to gain a lot of recent interest.  Sometimes that happens when folks search topics and call up old posts.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey folks, I'm new here and I find this thread incredibly interesting...hehehe even though it is over 2 years old. ;) Anyway, I want to respond to this, but before I do I have a couple of questions for the AB's and for those who are just into being generally dominant and/or submissive:

Firstly, several people in this thread mentioned that AB's are not to expect sex. OKay, maybe I am naive here, but isn't age play a fetish? A fetish is sexual in nature, so um...why no sex? Oh don't get me wrong. I think that sex with a real baby is sick and depraved. But isn't part of the allure of being an AB having not only a mommy/daddy to "care for you" and diaper you, but to have sex with you too? Okay, perhaps that also falls into the taboo of pretending to want incest, but I digress. This seems rather confusing to me. I have a lot of comments on this topic, but before I launch into that particular post, I wanted to get a sense of what this non-sex for baby fetishists is all about.

I think there is both. Some just like the baby lifestyle with no sex at all. Almost like a form of chastity. Others or maybe the majority incorporate sexual activity into their play.

Okay, I was a little confused, because a couple of people were speaking as if that was the norm or something, and that seems a tad absurd to me. One member said:

ORIGINAL: Baby73

3) Your NOT likely to get sex. If your ok with Mommy or Daddy going out on you and having girlfriends/boyfriends and you getting no nooky, then your cool. Like I said babies don;t have sex. Your life is going to revolve around children programs on t.v, diaper changes, playing in your playpen, naps, bathtime and maybe going to the park or zoo in a stroller or with a child leash on. Glamorous, huh? Oh, and don;t forget the babysitter LOL. But your not going to get any nooky, so you can forget that.


Yeah, I want to be in a sexual relationship without sex. That sounds healthy lol. Sorry, just kidding. I don't mean to poke fun. Perhaps some AB's don't see the mommy/baby relationship as a sexual one, and if that makes you happy, I can fully respect that.Here is another question: Sex is a basic need, so where do AB's like Baby73 get their sexual fullfilment?

Great forum by the way. I think I will hang out a while.

Okay, I have read through this thread very carefully and asked a few questions before deciding to craft a more detailed response. I have little knowledge of the lifestyles of people who are fetishists, and am largely unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology, such as “bottoms”, “top’s” etc, but I think I can figure out what they mean by the context you folks use them in. I am a writer and the huge work I am engrossed in, at the moment, is an exploration of my own fantasies and fetishes applied to a global matriarchal socioeconomic scale, so I want to start out by saying I am not here to judge or in any way attack anyone in their desires or lifestyles. A warning: This post is going to be very long, and my experience on message boards has taught me that most members don’t like lengthy posts. So my suggestion is that if you are not interested in reading what I have to say then feel free not to.

That said, I would like to say that I do not consider myself to be a true AB but I do have fantasies, both of being lovingly dominated, controlled and yes, diapered/changed and treated like a baby on some level. Knowing very little about the communities that these sites are based upon, even though I am in my early forties, I am exploring these boards in an effort to learn more and understand the mindset of fetishists like yourselves, regardless of your leanings, particular fantasies or desires.

Now, while I share similar fantasies to many of the infantilists here, I have to make a brief observation. It seems to me that many people who are engrossed in this particular fetish are either very insecure or very strong willed. The global observations of many members here that some of you folks have come to an only slightly related board to proselytize seems pretty accurate to me. Actually, I completely understand where you are coming from, those of you who are trying to use veiled questions to convert others to your lifestyle. It comes from both a deep insecurity about the fact that this particular fetish is somewhat looked down upon even by other so-called fetishists as well as the fact that it is only natural to want everyone to universally share in your beliefs, convictions, desires, and in this case, your particular fetish. If I may venture an opinion: I have powerful fantasies, and I think that every single one of you consciously or unconsciously shares these desires and only needs to be led to it by me or others like me.

This is obviously absurd, though I feel this way in my heart, as most people do, if they are truly honest with themselves. However, I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt that my feeling this way does not make it so. In other words, my heart and mind are in balance, and I am well aware that those of you with different fantasies and lifestyles as me, also (on some level at least) believe that I should share your desires, even though that is probably not the case.

CuriousPuppy, in a weird way, don’t you feel in your heart that your fantasy is so universally sensual that I too must share it? Of course, it’s obvious by your posts that you do not, for one second, believe it, and are tolerant of others. In other words, you are not succumbing to your prejudices and biases and imposing your desires on others like some people are surreptitiously doing in this thread. The whole “try it and you will love it as much as I do” argument fails, simply because most of us have a pretty strong and intuitive sense of what we want and desire without having to be told.

For example, I am not gay. The thought of sharing sexual relations with another man is not in any way a turn on to me. However, I know a lot of gay people who thoroughly enjoy it. In fact, I would suggest that most gay people, and I have met more than a few, believe, at least on some level, that the whole world is gay. However, most are intelligent enough to know this isn’t true, just because their emotions say that it is. Many gay people I am friends with have tried, some subtle and some overtly, to get me to experiment with them, believing if only I would try it I would invariably like it. I wouldn’t, just as most of the people in this forum wouldn’t like to be a mommy, daddy or baby. Yet my emotions tell me that every one of you should and does want this! How could both conditions be true?

If you want the answer to that question ask all the major religions who honestly believe that everyone else is going to hell except for their followers, because “if you don’t believe as I do you are wrong and either need to convert or be persecuted!!”

Folks, for those of you trying to win converts here, take a lesson seldom learned by organized religion. That is that there is no right or wrong here, only people with different needs, desires, personalities, wants and leanings. AB’s, if you can truly remember this then you will not condescend to the slave owners here and try all sorts of intellectual machinations to convince them that you and your kind are exactly what they are looking for. You aren’t.

That said, let me also say that I agree with the majority of people here in this discussion. I would also like to thank those of you who have elucidated their positions on why AB people are not necessarily good subs and, are in fact just the opposite in many ways. I never thought about it before reading this thread, but my particular fetish lends itself to high maintenance behavior, and “slaves” are, by definition, the servant, and therefore should be low maintenance. In effect, the master seems like they are more high maintenance than the slave, from what I am reading here, and that actually makes a lot of sense, even though I never thought of this consciously before.

I suppose this is one of the main reasons why I have always had a nagging feeling of doubt about this fetish and my exploration of it. Because, as someone who has always been good with women, I intuitively (though admittedly not consciously) realized the difference that you folks have put into very eloquent and often blunt language.

First, let me say to all of you male AB’s that you have a chance to learn something from these people, and most of you seem to be squandering that opportunity in argument, debate, posturing and defense of your desires and fetish. What you men are failing to realize is that, your fantasies aside, women are hard wired to be attracted to men who are strong, independent, self-assured, confident, intelligent and, dare say powerful.

You are erroneously believing that slaves, in the context of this message board, must be weak willed, inarticulate, powerless and insecure. Listen to what the women, in particular, are saying here. They are giving you a veritable roadmap into the female psyche, yes even that of a master or Domme. Yet, you are letting this information slip through your fingers in your mindless prattling about why they should want you just as you are. They won’t, and I am sorry to say this to you, neither will most women.

Let me further make a point with a question:

Female Masters, how would you feel if your slave became so whipped and dominated, so thoroughly controlled and submissive that they NEVER disobeyed you, never ever even questioned you? Would you like this? Oh perhaps for a time you might. However, I can assure you that, just as any woman would (even vanilla women) you would become bored and uninterested in him, losing all attraction. In other words, women need a challenge, regardless of their being vanilla or kinky. A good slave will always be willful and stubborn, or at least have these qualities so close to the surface that he will constantly need the firm hand of his mistress. This is why you should sit up and take notice when the women in this forum explain, in very good detail, that they are attracted to strong men, not powerless pussies. We are predacious beings, and women are no different. Whether you are marrying a vanilla woman who wants to pussy-whip you out of your sports car and into a minivan to take the kids to soccer and limit your friends, or you are in a relationship with a dominating master who wants to put clamps and cloths-pins on your nipples, these women want a man who is strong. Once you are no longer strong, once you are no longer a challenge then vanilla woman or slave owner (it makes no difference) will lose all attraction for you and the relationship will soon be over.

It’s amazing, because without even trying, these women are giving you guys very valuable information into the female psyche, at least in my opinion anyway, but you seem to refuse to even see it.

This is probably why my own fantasy and fetish has never 100% sat right with me and why I share it with so few women. lol It may also explain why I do pretty well with women in real life, because I don’t allow myself to become so immersed in this fetish that it evolves into an obsession which I need to force on the women I date almost oppressively.

You see, I realize after reading this thread that AB/DL’s are actually so demanding in their fantasy (or lifestyle) and need for attention that we have the serious potential to become needy, clingy and so high maintenance that whatever qualities initially may have attracted a potential mate, are lost. I suppose this is why I treat this whole thing as a fantasy and not as reality.

In fact, let me say this: I want to be controlled 24/7 by a woman/mommy or even by a very gentle “master”. I want it in the same way most of you do, except for one thing: I want the fantasy and not the reality. I have come to the unequivocal conclusion that I can’t control these desires and fantasies, but I absolutely can control to what extent I allow them to permeate my actual life.

Has it occurred to any of you AB/DL’s who want to have this as an actual lifestyle (you call it 24/7/360) that you are not unlike the woman with a rape fantasy. The only difference is that most women realize that really being raped would be a horrible, life-scarring thing to happen. Immersing yourself in the fantasy of it, while kept completely safe, is the ultimate expression of this fantasy. Similarly, I would like to believe that most Infantilists who want to wear diapers, are smart enough to know that wanting to be incontinent in your fantasies is fine, but in reality this would be a horribly debilitating illness. Look, I love the fantasy about being controlled, diapered, lovingly talked down to and mothered by a mommy 24/7. However, what a horrible life that would be, were it to ever really happen. Further, while the humiliation, in fantasy, can be a beautiful thing, I can assure you that giving up your manhood, in reality would not. In fact, I would go as far as to say that no healthy woman would ever want to be in a relationship like this 24/7. It would literally suck the very life out of her. Who, in their right mind, would want to spend every waking moment catering to the extreme needs of an adult baby, changing incredibly messy diapers and basically being at his beckon call? Would you even want or expect a woman to literally give up her very life for you?

Wouldn’t it be better if you could find a woman to explore this fantasy with you and that you mutually pretend to be doing this 24/7? Do you really want someone to be your mommy every waking minute or even the majority of your time? Why not just pretend that It is 24/7 with her, even believe it in all your heart, but not try to force it into actually being that way, any more than the woman with the rape fantasy would hang out in dark alleys of big cities at 2:00 AM hoping to really be raped?

I am a very dominant guy in real life, which is perhaps why the fantasy of surrendering to a woman so completely enthralls me. If you were to ask any woman I date, and there are a lot, they would probably tell you that I was the dominant one and that they usually do what I say, in and out of bed. For some reason, women who tend to be submissive are very attracted to me, probably because I have a very charismatic personality in real life and I take care of my body and mind, plus I am a natural leader. In other words, I am balanced. Hahaha you may not know this by the completely nerdy and long ass post I wrote here, but it is true nonetheless.

If I learned anything from this thread I have learned the following: I think I will share this fantasy of mine with girls that I date and am comfortable and intimate with. I will absolutely pretend that they are controlling me and being my “mommy” 24/7. However, I realize that this is only a fantasy, nothing more, regardless of how powerful the imagery and desires are in my mind.

Also, has it occurred to any of you more hardcore infantilists that you really ought to compromise (as many have suggested here) with the woman you want? You really need to reevaluate your “need” for what it really is, a fantasy/fetish that perhaps you have developed an unhealthy obsession with along with some profoundly unrealistic and overblown expectations. You cannot expect a woman to live up to the standards you set. It is, quite simply, not realistic in the world we live in. In addition, you are setting yourself up to fail and fail miserably. Trust me, you need to do some soul searching, because all the stories you read on the Internet aside, I don’t think there are any real women that would want or tolerate what you are demanding. Moreover, what about her fantasies? Is it your contention that there is a woman out there sitting on her couch longing for a guy in diapers that she can care for 24 hours a day, change smelly diapers, bottle feed him and love him as unconditionally as your mother loved you when you were a biological infant? Do you honestly believe that women are dreaming about being the counterpart you so desire, or would enjoy it if you tried to sell the lifestyle to them? Nope. Sorry to say that women have their own fantasies, and you are going to need to come off your high rocking-horse long enough to be the counterpart to her fantasies, whatever they may be? Contrary to your beliefs and desires, the life you want is, quite simply, not one that any sane woman would ever want to give you. It is devoid of any real fulfillment or even attraction for her, and favors your needs so disproportionately that it is a deep seeded obsession and could be pathological.

Okay sorry about the sheer length of this, but I had a lot to say! ;)

I have a lot of comments on this topic, but before I launch into that particular post, I wanted to get a sense of what this non-sex for baby fetishists is all about.



As I understand it, there is both sexual and non sexual AB play, but the majority of the time, when someone says they engage in "AB" play, they are referring to a style of play where there is a fairly high degree of roleplay going on. The "baby" in this case may often regress somewhat and certainly may go into a different headspace, like how subs can go into sub space. In this sort of frame of play, doing something sexual is often quite upsetting to the person, because they are reacting to what is happening the same way as a child would. Any sexual play is usually more a result of having a fetish associated with the roleplay, such as a diaper fetish or a fetish for baby items. Pretending to have sex with the "underaged baby" sub falls into the completely different category of age play, which is actually separate from AB play. The closest thing to AB play when it comes to age play is non sexual age play...note the non sexual part.

Basically, someone who is an AB enjoys thinking and acting younger.....and when they are in that mind set, they do not want sexual contact. Did you want sexual contact when you were 2? That's not to say that an adult baby never gets off or has sex...just that it's not very likely to occur while the person is acting out being an adult baby. Unless the person is being a baby full time, that absence of sexual matters shouldn't be a problem. And if they are one full time, I'd say they have much more concerning matters to worry about than sex, such as their mental health.

<sigh> No, I'm not apt to think that an AB is a child molester or a pedophile. Actually, that has never occurred to me--it seems more likely to think that an AB was molested as a child. Even if that's not true--as I know it often isn't--I can see the reasoning behind it.

I'm hearing a few separate questions in your post. One is "Why doesn't anyone want me?" That--well, that has to do with some demographics, as infantilism is a pretty niche fetish, in my view. It may have to do with how you've limited your search--gender, geography, etc. And it might be just bad luck.

Another question is why don't many dominant-identified women like infantilism? Probably because infantilism isn't the ordinary way you find a BDSM community and come to figure out that you should call yourself a dom. Most people seem to find BDSM through a fondness for spanking, bondage, or sexual control (rape or chastity) fantasies. I think it's fine to look in BDSM communities, but it's worth mentioning that you may have more luck in explicitly AB/DL communities.

But then, you might ask, if a woman finds BDSM through other fetishes, and then comes to learn about infantilism, why doesn't it 'take'? You'd need someone who understood the psyche better than I to understand that. Some activities seem fun. Some activities don't. Sometimes an element of an activity can seem a roadblock--as you might have noticed, messy diapers are messy and smelly. A good way to get around that is to agree to avoid messy play, and either stick to wet diapers or clean diapers. If you're presenting yourself as a baby who wants to live as a wholly dependent baby all the time, that's a lot of work for your caretaker, honestly. I'm not saying there isn't anyone who would do that--I'm simply saying that it would be a lot of work to do that full time. Wearing diapers under your clothes all the time? Sure, that seems easy and fun. Requiring me to change your diapers, feed you, transport you, dress you, etc. all the time? That's a lot of work. It could be fun for a weekend, but that--like slave-chained-in-basement fantasies--seems hard to sustain as a way of life.

What's the difference between a "slave" (I think you mean an ordinary BDSM submissive type, yes?) who suffers infantilism as a punishment, or as an expression of control or route to humiliation, and an AB who is punished by being a slave? Not much, and everything. Both are instances of inhabiting one preferred role and, as an exercise in control or punishment, taking on a role that isn't quite so pleasant. The preferred roles are just different.

That said, I would like to say that I do not consider myself to be a true AB but I do have fantasies, both of being lovingly dominated, controlled and yes, diapered/changed and treated like a baby on some level. Knowing very little about the communities that these sites are based upon, even though I am in my early forties, I am exploring these boards in an effort to learn more and understand the mindset of fetishists like yourselves, regardless of your leanings, particular fantasies or desires.


If you have sexual fantasies about being treated as a baby, then you're more a DL (Diaper lover) than an AB. AB is usually about just enjoying the experience of being babied on an emotional and physical level that is not sexual in nature (though it can include that to a degree). If you get off on the idea of being "forced" to be a baby for example, then you're more a DL with a kink for being treated as a baby. DL by the way refers to having a fetish or sexual enjoyment from wearing diapers.

quote:


Now, while I share similar fantasies to many of the infantilists here, I have to make a brief observation. It seems to me that many people who are engrossed in this particular fetish are either very insecure or very strong willed. The global observations of many members here that some of you folks have come to an only slightly related board to proselytize seems pretty accurate to me. Actually, I completely understand where you are coming from, those of you who are trying to use veiled questions to convert others to your lifestyle. It comes from both a deep insecurity about the fact that this particular fetish is somewhat looked down upon even by other so-called fetishists as well as the fact that it is only natural to want everyone to universally share in your beliefs, convictions, desires, and in this case, your particular fetish. If I may venture an opinion: I have powerful fantasies, and I think that every single one of you consciously or unconsciously shares these desires and only needs to be led to it by me or others like me.


Sounds like you pretty much figured out the mindset that goes along with this sort of thread. ABDLs are drawn to this sort of site by nature of their interests being related, ie, the way ABDL play has a dominant and a submissive involved. You also noticed quite well the nature of most ABDLs: some are extremely insecure because of their interest or other factors. I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the rest of that, but I'll point out that if something is not someone's thing, its not someone's thing. Trying to convert someone to your kink very, very rarely works. Doesn't even matter if they happen to like a lot of the aspects of it.

Skipping a bunch here because a bunch was very unclear and badly worded.

quote:


You are erroneously believing that slaves, in the context of this message board, must be weak willed, inarticulate, powerless and insecure.


You just figured out one of the single most annoying traits of most "slaves" here. While some people certainly do enjoy weak willed, powerless and insecure subs, most of us don't. I'd also point out that anyone who acts in the way you try to warn people about in your post are very unlikely to learn anything you pointed out.

quote:


Immersing yourself in the fantasy of it, while kept completely safe, is the ultimate expression of this fantasy. Similarly, I would like to believe that most Infantilists who want to wear diapers, are smart enough to know that wanting to be incontinent in your fantasies is fine, but in reality this would be a horribly debilitating illness.


Yes, most sane, level headed ABs know this. But those people are NOT the vocal majority of ABs....and when someone thinks of an AB, they are thinking of the vocal majority. You also seem to be assuming that all subs and people interested in AB play are sane. For ABs especially, quite a large number aren't.

quote:


Look, I love the fantasy about being controlled, diapered, lovingly talked down to and mothered by a mommy 24/7. However, what a horrible life that would be, were it to ever really happen. Further, while the humiliation, in fantasy, can be a beautiful thing, I can assure you that giving up your manhood, in reality would not. In fact, I would go as far as to say that no healthy woman would ever want to be in a relationship like this 24/7. It would literally suck the very life out of her. Who, in their right mind, would want to spend every waking moment catering to the extreme needs of an adult baby, changing incredibly messy diapers and basically being at his beckon call? Would you even want or expect a woman to literally give up her very life for you?


Again, you are pointing out aspects of ABDL fantasy and reality that any sane AB is aware of. So again, I'll point out to you....which sort of AB are you seeing when you see the ones who want to be a complete baby for their whole life? Do you think the majority of those people are aware of this reality? And do you think that being aware of it (or not aware) and ignoring that reality says anything about those people?

quote:


Wouldn’t it be better if you could find a woman to explore this fantasy with you and that you mutually pretend to be doing this 24/7? Do you really want someone to be your mommy every waking minute or even the majority of your time? Why not just pretend that It is 24/7 with her, even believe it in all your heart, but not try to force it into actually being that way, any more than the woman with the rape fantasy would hang out in dark alleys of big cities at 2:00 AM hoping to really be raped?

You are assuming that when someone has a certain fantasy, they want this fantasy to be their life. The difference between a sane AB and an insane one is if they are capable of being satisfied with having this fantasy some of the time. You seem to fall into the sane category, no? And you don't run around telling people about your fantasies, right? Well, that's how most ABs really are. They quietly have this fantasy, and they act on it now and then.

quote:


Also, has it occurred to any of you more hardcore infantilists that you really ought to compromise (as many have suggested here) with the woman you want? You really need to reevaluate your “need” for what it really is, a fantasy/fetish that perhaps you have developed an unhealthy obsession with along with some profoundly unrealistic and overblown expectations. You cannot expect a woman to live up to the standards you set. It is, quite simply, not realistic in the world we live in. In addition, you are setting yourself up to fail and fail miserably. Trust me, you need to do some soul searching, because all the stories you read on the Internet aside, I don’t think there are any real women that would want or tolerate what you are demanding.


Again....I'm pointing out to you....do you *really* think that "hardcore" ABs are capable of compromise? Why do you think they don't have what they want? Why do you think most dommes prefer to avoid these sub types? Most subs are actually quite capable of thinking, "I have a fantasy, it would be lovely if it was my life, but reality is, it can't be, so it won't be." Most ABs are capable of thinking that thought too. Which leaves hardcore ABs. Trust me, pointing out stuff like this isn't going to help.

This is very helpful, thank you. I have very little knowledge about fetish lifestyles, and your post clearly showed a difference I was unaware of.

What I was trying to say was that my Id (to use Freudian terminology) believes that this fantasy of mine should be the fantasy of every living breathing person. I used the example of Christianity to point out how people are generally unable to separate their own internal subjective reality from that of a more objective or universal one. In other words, I totally understand why these more hardcore AB's (like Fundamentalist Christians) feel like they should enlighten everyone into "realizing" that you should all be "like us". Some of the posts, particularly the OP, who went on to point out how people like him would be perfect for the female Domme, sort of prove my point. If I had no social skills, let's say, and was never exposed to other fantasies and fetishes, I would probably assume that every single guy in the world wants to be a baby and every single woman in the world wants and needs to be a Mommy. I am not sure why this is so. Perhaps people are insecure by nature and need to feel important or like they are part of the "in thing" or mainstream. So while I understand where the OP and others are coming from (since my Id wants to believe that every woman wants me, wants to be my mommy and take care of my every need, make me quit my job and regress me to a place where I have no respopnsibilities other than to "just be" in a safe place) my Superego reminds me that this is just my infantile nature (no pun intended) running free, and that my reality is not necessarily reflective of the reality of others. Does that make more sense?

Yeah sorry about that. I re-read my entire post and it was very clearly worded. The problem is I wrote so damn much that you probably lost interest and couldn't be bothered to pore through my every word. My fault for not being more succinct.

Well that's a shame. Because most of the people in this forum seem very intelligent and articulate, and it is ironic that the people who need to get this message the most are the ones that probably won't even give it a second thought except to just argue against it and defend their own ideas.

I had no idea. I guess what you are saying makes sense though. I mean how well balanced can a person be who wants to be so completely regressed that they can't or won't function as an adult at all.

Well you helped me. I mean, while I totally get the fantasy, my skin literally crawls when I see these people on Jerry Springer all dressed up in baby clothes and acting like an infant. I know I am sort of the pot calling the kettle black here, but I see people like this and I am embarassed for them and I almost want to cover my eyes. They seem so pathetic to me, and now I finally know why, thanks to your post and the rest of this thread. They have taken a potentially wonderful and even innocent fantasy and allowed it to become a full blown obsession and dominate their lives. It reminds me of substance or alcohol addiction. When the substance (or in this case the fetish) controls you, then you are no longer a whole or complete person. Instead you devolve into a unidimensional being, so consumed with your addiction that you can no longer discern reality from fantasy.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond, point by point to all of my post. You were very helpful!

Disclaimer: I have not waded through the whole thread (its 2 years old!).

When I was relatively new to BDSM, AB and DL seemed sort of sick and scary.  I didn't get it at all.

But my friend had an adult "baby" who drank whiskey out of his bottle, smoked cigars in his play pen and yelled things like "aaawww c'mon Mummy, show us your tits!!  I am hungry....."

As for "Mummys are soft and nurturing".....well that baby needed a lot of spanking, I can tell you!

He made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Such a naughty baby!  Isn't that what BDSM role play is all about?  Regressing into a child like world of make believe, having fun and not taking yourself seriously for a while?

Nowdays, I do not see AB/DL as any more sinister than pretending to be a dog, a pony, furniture, the opposite sex or even a slave. Its all just role playing

I find AB (even soiling nappies!) much less disturbing than play rape and play incest (although I understand and accept those kinks can serve a useful psychologcal purpose).

As for sexiness?  Hey, once upon a time I swore I would never find crossies sexy.  But put a dead sexy man in a frock and stockings, have a fantastic scene and things can change........people can change!

My point? 

It is  a grown man pretending to be a baby, not a baby.  Quality of the scene depends on the quality of the man and the relationship you have with him.  I say keep an open mind.
