Tell me some of your interests in cub things
9 years ago
General
Hey guys
As stated in my last journal, I've been asked to host a cub-themed panel at Califur this year. I'm doing a little brainstorming for what I can talk about and I love to hear about your experiences with being a cub. I want to be able to present more than just my experiences with the community. Tell me about yourself. I'll post a few questions to give direction to what I'm looking for, but feel free to freestyle your replies too. Ultimately I'm just interested in learning some different experiences with what it means to you to be a cub.
1) How did you find the cub community?
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
I'm sure I will come up with more questions later but I'd like to start with these ones. :) Please share this journal if you feel like it! The more responses I get, the easier time I'm going to have properly representing our community to outsiders.

FA+

Internet searches, though it took me a long time because I didn't know what I was looking for... ^.^ After finding a few vaguely related things over the years, I finally stumbled on Fox Tales Times in 2007, and the rest is history.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Not, really, it's just what I am. ^.^
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
In a way, I was sort of interested in both, until I found out that there was such a thing as cubs and though "Oh, hey, so that's what I am!"
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Only occasionally, for enjoyment.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
It's always been there, I haven't really analysed it.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Play! With toys and friends!
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
If there was a grown-up to take care of me, sure.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Mmm, not so much. Omorashi is what turns me on, so there's a sort of connection, but that's not really what I'm into when I'm awwwwing over cute pictures or playing cubby games...
On an old Sonic fanforum I used to post on there were a couple people who openly posted (tame) diaperfur art, which reminded me of my interest in diapers/wetting that I've had pretty much all my life. So I started drawing diaperfur art and posting it on DA, which led to me meeting several who identified as babyfurs and eventually moving to FA. The rest is pretty much history~~
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Kind of the same as Zee-Zee for me. I just don't really feel like an adult, and the cub/babyfur/ABDL communities are my outlet for it.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
They all kind of came into each other at the same time, I'd say around 2007-ish. I discovered DL stuff a bit before it in about '06-ish, but close enough.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Yes, sometimes, just for enjoyment. I like the feeling of them and would definitely wear more often if I could afford it.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
I have nooo idea. I've been interested in diapers and wetting stuff since I can remember. I was technically trained at around 2 1/2-3 but my mom would let me wear them sometimes even after, and I wore them to bed until I was about 5 or 6. Even when I didn't need them I remembered feeling comfortable just wearing them, and kind of insecure without a diaper. So I guess it grew as a sort of comfort/self-soothing thing.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
It depends on what age I go to, since mine tends to vary, but generally color, use pacis/sippy cups, watch cartoons, etc... I'd like to get some more toys to play with as well.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
This is kind of hard to answer since my desired age can be anywhere from 2 to teens. It'd be nice to be able to ageshift at will, but I think being permanently stuck as a cub would eventually wear off. There are things I like doing as an adult that I'd miss being able to do if I were little for real. So I'll just stick with being an "adult" cub.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Not for cub stuff, no. That is, I don't find being treated like a baby to be arousing. Diapers sometimes turn me on, but that's not really related to AB stuff or anything like that.
I found the ab/dl community first. unfortunately this was by coming across deeker. then to fox tales times, then eventually to here. :o
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
I underwent a lot of abuse and bullying as a child, things I've managed to repress for years. Being a cub was an attempt at reliving some of the few good memories, and attempting to make new ones from the same periods. Being unable to act on these however, I usually turn the upwell of emotions into art instead.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I've been a DL since I was 3. just kept it very very quiet for most of my life, thinking I was the only one, and thus batshit crazy for liking them.
Furry was something that came naturally after years of watching cartoons. it just worked XD
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Yes, when I can. enjoyment mostly, though sometimes my shutter speed is a bit slow, making me think they may be a necessity at some point.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
I wet the bed as a youngling, and was forced back into them at night. this was at the point where I was actually cognizant of memories and capable of remembering things as more than just abstract colors and smells, so it had a pretty heavy impact.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Cartoons out the wazoo. easy chapter books (in plain sight. they think im just nostalgic XD) video games, puzzles, building type toys, coloring books.
Dressing like a bab for instance :p
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Could I be my 'sona too? then heck yes.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Not really.
Diapers cause a reaction, but I have enough self control to separate the two mindsets and not acknowledge when it happens unless I choose to.
Funnily enough, through Tavi, his were the first baby fur pictures I ever saw :P
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Nah, my mom did baby me every once and a while, mainly because I was her youngest child, the baby of the house if you will :P
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I was an abdl and a furry before becoming a cub
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Yes and no, I love wearing diapers, I usually wear them at night though because of my bed wetting and weak bladder.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
Funny story I've told people before, but I was somewhere around 2nd to 4th grade, I can't remember that well sadly, but my cousin and her baby moved into my dad's house for a while because they got kicked out of their house, long story short, her baby shared a room with me, and I got curious about the diapers, I even took some and tried to put them on standing up in the closet XD too bad they ended up being too small for me. It wasn't until I was 18 that I got to try my first adult diaper via cushies XD
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
I watch cartoons, play video games, colour and sometimes hypnosis works too ^^
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Eh, depends I guess, if I could revert back and if I kept at least my memories of who everyone was, then yeah, I would ^^
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Oh boy, knew this question would come up eventually hehe, like I said before, I did come as an abdl before being a cub, and a lot of my kinks transferred over as well, though most of the time if I'm doing these I'm not so much in a cub mind set as more of a naughty one XP I do enjoy forced diaper and clothes wearing, I enjoy being fed both by bottle and spoon, I enjoy wetting myself but not messing, humiliation is a big must, cub or adult~ I'm into medium bondage, nothing too bad, straight jackets, mittens, paci gag, locking plastic pants, the usual >w>
There, I told you about me, your turn little fops XP
Basically the same as emeritus_terciel, from ab/dl websites, to FTT, then I moved on to forums and stuff, and I found the people with babyfur avatars much cuter and...less creepy than those with pictures I guess. I'd been on here before a long time ago and eventually came back here not knowing anywhere better, and I'm glad I stayed :)
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Oh, this is a good one. I've thought about this a lot and I could probably talk about the psychology and stuff of this in some detail, but yeah, it comes from my upbringing I guess. Both of my parents worked a lot when I was younger (they still do now), meaning I didn't spend much time with them and I spend most days after school (and most summers) at an after-school club until they finished work. I guess my mother alternated between being really protective and loving and not being there because she was working, (heck, she's still like that!) and my dad just worked a lot. When I was 11 they split up and I then lived with my mum (who again worked a lot) meaning I guess I didn't have as much time with my parents as one would, which I guess would reinforce wanting/needing those feelings of affection and safety I probably didn't have that much of. I love my parents, but um...they could've done better :P
As well as that, I guess because we didn't spend as much time together as we should've (and gosh I'll admit I still get a little jealous when I see people being really close with their family, regardless of age. To be able to have people I'm that close with, even just really good friends, is something I really want), I'm quite...naive I guess. I wouldn't say I'm very mature and there are things I don't get that I should, so that's also a factor I suppose.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I was an AB/DL before I was a cub. That often seems to be the pattern. First you're a DL, then an AB, then a babyfur :P but yeah, the furry aspect helped make it slightly less weird and awful because everyone looked adorable instead of creepy, so thanks guys ;)
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
I have been known to :P I just find them really comfy, like thick fluffy socks but for your butt :D that and they make me feel happy and safe and sometimes even cute :)
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
I'm not sure where the interest came from, like most people it seems to be the "Huh, I guess it was there all along" sort of thing. Couldn't pinpoint it down to any event or anything, guess it's just a stupid brain thing of "pssst, hey, you want to feel loved right? Well obviously loved --> past --> younger --> baby --> diapers." The human brain is as stupid as the rest of the body :P
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Well most recently my favourite/only things are some comfy crinkly pants, my sleeper (although it's getting too hot now D:) and my stuffed bunny Mr. Hop who is awesome and has ears that are great for nomming. I just like cuddling him and talking to him and being able to feel cute and I like taking him with me when I go and watch tv (cartoooons :D) and stuff so he can be with me :)
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Hmmm, I don't think I would actually. Not really sure why exactly, it just sounds kinda scary and uncertain more than anything. I don't have anyone that would look after me anyway so that would just end badly :P
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Uhhhhh, sort of...? I guess...yanno....going potty kinda makes me feel a little bit naughty but that's basically it. Luckily though I can completely seperate the two things, because adult and cubby things don't cross AT ALL in my books. Like I can use diapers while being cubby and there's nothing like...rude about it, it's just normal and kinda cute, yanno? It's innocent there.
Wow, that was weird to write.
So yeah, that's a lot of stuff about me. If you need more or want me to explain more I don't mind talking in detail and stuff :)
When i started getting classes of computer graphs, i found DA, and there, i found diaper artists, that lead me to the furry fandom,and the cubs
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Yeah. i'm a kid at hearth and sometimes on my imagination.. so nothing better than keep some "contact" with this part of me =D
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I was a TBDL before being a cub. started liking diapers before get fur^^
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Yups,when i can. might get a package in may,maybe next week =3
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
i don't know... i remember some things about hearing the word "diaper" and it turns me on somehow.. but only got re-diapered when i was 13
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
mostly draw, watch babysh cartoons, and wear diapers.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Of course =D not even worrying about getting back or stuck on the age =D
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Yeeeah... i like wearing diaper, and from a few time now, the idea of being treated as a baby turns me on too. like someone has to get and take all decisions for me..what i wear,eat,when i nap....
Well, I can't recall how I came to find that I admired the Cub Community and liked it, but there was a guy I met forever ago on Y!Messenger, and he seemed to be an AB/DL and I didn't think too much of it. (definitely a good sign that I'd be into them later, at least *I* think so.)
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
I think it stems from a desire to return to simpler times. I suppose it's also a combination of having had such good memories of being little as well as wishing I could redo that time and have things go better. Like if I had the knowledge I have now back then.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
Well, I'd definitely say I was a furry first. I was a furry before I knew what one was. Though I was probably a plushophile before that even.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
I've worn diapers IRL occasionally, and most definitely for enjoyment. They feel quite nice.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
I'm not sure. I sorta said all I could think of about it in the above questions.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Well, I cuddle with my bunny plushy in bed. When it's warm enough, I like to spend my time lounging around in a t-shirt and undies ( or just undies if it's Really hot), and Of Course, attend Story Time and chat with fellow cubs! ^__^
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Of course! That sounds like a dream come true!
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Well, I've yet to explore cub stuff in a sexual capacity, outside of looking at artwork and/or pawing off in a diaper. But, I DO find the prospect interesting. Though the humiliation part I'd more want to be on the giving end rather than the receiving end. I'd be curious to try bondage as well.
Mostly by accident. For a long time I wasn't even sure that there were other people that liked the things I liked. Then, one day when talking to a furry artist friend I had during highschool I noticed she was drawing a baby fox, I asked about it and her response pretty much was "Oh yeah, this is for someone on a furry forum, they are a babyfur. No big deal." After that, I knew to actually go and look for cub/abdl related things online.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. It is just one of those things that occasionally feels 'right' to me. It takes certain people around me to really bring out my cubside though, but when I'm with those people I'm completely at ease.
As for if it was my upbringing, I'd say maybe it is in part, but by accident. I never really got a 'childhood' so to speak. My older sister got all the attention because she was loud, rebellious and independent, while I was quiet and well behaved. So for the most part I was expected to be the 'mature' child by my family. So when it came to things like playing with toys or doing 'kiddy' things, I was always told that I needed to grow up and be a big boy. Of course that just made me want those things more, but I had to keep it secret.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I would say I was a cub before I was a furry. Before I learned the fandom existed I was doing things like spending allowance on diapers to wear when I was alone at home (which was fairly often), and buying toys meant for cubs...and secretly recording children's shows (in the days of VCRs) to watch later.
At the same time though I had a lot of 'furry thoughts.' Pretty much any show with talking animals was my thing (no matter what age group it was for) and I often liked to imagine myself as a dog or wolf. So, I suppose you could say I was a pre-furry, I just had to find the fandom to complete it.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
I do wear from time to time, mostly for enjoyment. I say mostly because the truth is I have a very Very overactive bladder (which got me in untold amounts of trouble as a child...and resulted in me more or less drinking as little water as possible). So sometimes I wear diapers out of necessity in order to make it through things like watching a movie or driving long distances.
In truth, if I could get away with Always wearing, I totally would. Though 'getting away' with it would probably require a legit medical reason. Over active bladder usually just gets the question of "So, why not go to the bathroom more often then?"
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
My interest in them probably came from my childhood troubles. Pants wetting was a constant concern (in fact, I was not allowed to wear belts due to the extra time they added to getting pants down), and it really got to me. Occasional 'threats' of putting me back in diapers then became a thing. More specifically I was told if I didn't stop doing it I would be back in pampers just like my baby cousin. I say 'threats' because when it was described to me, it sounded like the best thing Ever.
Never having to worry about having wet jeans? Because seriously, wet jeans are the worst, just rubbing the inside of your thighs raw...gah.
Not having to stuff my backpack with a spare change of clothes?
Yeah, I was totally for that. Funny enough, I vaguely remember asking if we could get Luvs instead of Pampers, because at the time Luvs still had the crinkly plastic covers while Pampers had fully gone to the fake cloth cover style. Of course the fact that I actually seemed okay with the idea just made my mother angry and move to punishing me by grounding me and not allowing me to watch TV or play on my Sega Genesis.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Mostly I like to watch cartoons while padded and dressed in my redpanda kigu. If said kigu is unavailable I have a super oversized shirt that I like to wear instead.
If the right people are present (read: people I feel comfortable being a cub around) I totally whimper and whine for them to read me stories or to play with me. Legos are best. ...Though I felt amazing the one time a caretaker-type friend told me I was too little for legos and pulled out a Duplo set. That was the best Christmas I've ever had.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
I would give a hesitant yes. Hesitant in that if it meant going 'back in time' to my natural family, then no. I lived through crap with them once already and barely got out as a (mostly) functioning person, and that came with a ton of baggage and pain.
If it meant that I could be my desired age and be placed with a...lets say...understanding family, then I'd totally do it.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Some, but not super heavily. If I'm in full on cubmode (rare...sadly) then I don't really feel sexual. I just like being in that moment. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy a bit of sexy time, but if anything it pulls me out of that cubby headspace.
Of course, when it comes to my 'adult' fetishes of bondage and humiliation, I am more than happy to add in diapers. But it feels different in those cases.
That'd be you c:
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Am nawt O^O
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?

7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?

8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
nuh O:
Closet cubShenanigans, I say, shenanigans an' falsehoods O: !!!
Exploration of the internet, which was primed around an interest in diapers, eventually led me to FA.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
FA was the first community based group I found online during my times of exploration. Due to none of the outside hatred of furries reaching me, I indulged in my curiosity.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I have always been a cub, however my interest in all things diaper related probably flourished about a year prior to me finding FA, thus indulging in other diaper related websites.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Not as commonly as I would like, however I have been able to sneak a few through some odd scenarios in my youth.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
Honest to god only a therapist could figure that out... My guess? I live a very dominating lifestyle, natural leader type thing, so the idea of being able to turn it all off and be under somebody else's control has always been a desire of mine. how diapers connected... not a clue. -insert no childhood explanation here-
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Comfy jammies, diapers, and walk away from adult responsibilities! Someone just boss me around and I will be allllll good <333
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Desired age is funny.... my desired age is around 3ish. The mentality to be mischievous (that is hardwired into my brain, why do you think i am a coon?) ... but still a desire to be diapered.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Yes to all except being treated like a baby. ageplay stuff doesn't sexually thrill me. any form of talking down however, humiliation and bondage etc. I am alllllll for.
fine...but only for you
1) How did you find the cub community?- thru furaffinity, and later on, bf.me
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?- i don't know. probably not. I had a decent childhood, so i have no reason to want to be a kid again. i miss fruit snacks, tho. i don't eat fruit snacks anymore.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?- I was an ABDL before i was a cub. one of my first "little" memories is imagining that i was dressed as baby mario and that me and my friends, who were also babies were playing. i've never said that because i didn't know how to word it. tell a soul and you're DEAD.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?- yes, sometimes. enjoyment only. I think I have too much control over my bladder. I've never wet the bed. I've had extremely realistic dreams about wetting myself but I just can't do it in my sleep.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?- no clue. wanting to feel secure, bladder-wise, maybe? i've had an interest in pee since i was 11 at the earliest
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?- mostly just pad up and relax. I'm not much of an AB.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?- noooooooooooooooooooo
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diap- sorry, i deleted the rest of this in a backspacing fit. no, I don't. I fetishize diapers, but never on young characters. my kid self and my adult kinkster self are two different sides of me.
I was ABDL, and met a babyfur. They brought me in, and furries are awesomely friendly.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Dunno. It's just who I am.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
See #1
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Due to muscular and neurological stuff, my crappy body crapped out on me, so I leak urine on occasion.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
I've always liked them, and wanted them, for as long as I remember.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Play with Legos, eat candy, watch cartoons.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
In a heartbeat.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Not really. Two different aspects of my life.
well funny thing the community kinda found me in a way.The main one I can think of was I a local anime convention call anime banzai I was cosplaying at the time as one favorite villains Kefka from Final Fantasy VI
and I bump into furry at the con in his fursuit,I was staying in character for the most and so did he,after min or two I got out character and ask where his character came from but he didn't talk back really he was still making cute animal sound and stuff.It wasn't year later that until I look into it and join the fandom(My story can can go on forever and all over the place I so I thought only tell the main reason why join and keep it kinda short)
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
yea it dose.Being that I was youngest and only kid out 5 other to have few mental disabilities(ADHD and autism).I was treated a lot different as well.A lot of time I felt outcast being odd one of the family.I would offend hang out with kids a few years younger then me growing up.There was always part me that I told myself didn't what to grow up and be normal like rest of my family.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I was TBDL before I was a furry/cub,being that part me most if not all of my life.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
yes from time to time,kinda for both but mostly for enjoyment,for medical reason it mostly due to stress.Being that I was really don't care for drug or drinking to get rid of my stress.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
Mostly stuff from my Childhood.Like said before I felt like outcast and there where few thing in my growing up that would trigger it.One was being that I was in special ed there where a one kid in my class who would for ever grade up until 5th that would pee and poop there pants or have where diapers in class.the second reason was two thing that stress me out when I was a kid and teen.When I was 4 year old I was bite by spider monkey and when I was a teen my mom had a stroke which shock me.She was one person in my family most self around and would make me feel better.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
I have few thing that get me into the mood to cub out,I like take hot bubble bath with some Epsom salt.It help me get into that head space for me.Then after that I like to get padded and put on one of my onesie and get my bottles,binkys,and sippy cups out and cuddle with one my plushies or all of them
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Not at this current time maybe someday
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Most likely not.I mostly keep my cubside pure for the most part.But on the flip side I kinda into Masochism but never really act on it really
Actually only really just about a Year ago, Maybe more around a Year and a half but yeah, I found the Cub Community actually through the art. And I believe the first picture I saw of a Cub was actually from Tavi. o:
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
I'm a cub mostly because, that's who I am. I think a lot of it stems from when I first came about the Furry Fandom. I knew what a Furry was from the basic definition, but I actually never realized that there were diverse groups within just being a furry. I don't believe my upbringing had any effect on me becoming a cub~
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
Mmm... This one is pretty tough actually. Like I said in the response above, I knew what a furry was in the basic sense of the term. But I never really was interested much in being a furry, I was more of a let bygones be bygones type of person when I found out what a furry was back when I was growing up. And actually, I wasn't even an ABDL growing up. In fact, I actually kind of resented the fact that I had to wear diapers 24/7 medically. When I was growing up, I resented the fact that I needed them, cause it actually made me feel little, like I wasn't grown up (kind of Ironic eh?) It actually wasn't till I was about 13/14 when I actually learned about, not only that I was not alone, but that there was such a thing as being an ABDL, and again, at first I didn't really think it applied to me, I wore diapers medically so it was clinical. It actually again wasn't till I found about being a cub, and found out that you could be little and adorable, that I actually started to consider it, also being around other people who were like that actually helped me realize that I wasn't that different and I actually did enjoy the same thing that I began a cub and a furry.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Yes, Yes, and yes. Growing up I said I resented the idea of having to wear 24/7 now mind you as I got older, I accepted that I had to wear and you know, I grew into it and I actually for the most part didn't much mind it. However, When I found a lot of the Incontience support websites out there (Pretty sure you knwo some of the big ones ) That I actually came to terms and understood that it wasn't that bad and that there were people who were like me and even to an extent, they took what was a a hardship for them and made it fun with some of them being ABDL. and like the previous post above, I didn't really see myself as an ABDL till I became a cub o:
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
A lot of it came from being a cub and having a second chance at being able to be little and being able to be able to be cute an' stoof~
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
When I actually do cub out, I mostly do alot of my normal hobbies, (Listening to Music, Playing video games, Watching videos, etc etc) But sometimes those things are more childish, listening to childish music, or playing Video games from my childhood, Things like that.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Mmmm..... Again another tough question. I actually, don't believe I have a real "set" age, I believe I kind of sit in the crossroads between Babyfur and Little/Kidfur I like being able to have some control over what I do, Like being able to move around and be able to feed myself (Albiet kind of messily ) However, I like being able to lose control in others, such as not really being able to control my bodily functions, and have a more shorter attention span, things of that nature. So, If I was able to regress to an age of 3 or 4 and I'd be able to keep my memories and I'd still be who I am (Enjoying the stuff I do now) Then yes, a million times over yes.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Mmm.... I actually like to believe that I have my sexual interests and my cub interests basically, pretty well defined. I do rather kind of like the idea of humiliation (Basically light teasing, Nothing like degrading or anything like that.) And I do enjoy the idea of things like locking mittens, but I HATE the idea of actually being bond to something. A lot of my sexual interest is just mostly centered around losing control more then anything else However, I'd like to alliterate that I only like being people who I am very close with~
Been a furry for long time, tho one day I seen some cub art and it seemed interesting.
I followed it secretly for a while, before letting it know I had a cub side.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
I would say from a lonely childhood would be the main reason.
Was a only child and one parent who had to work a lot to get all bills paid.
Never felt like I had a lot of kid time growing up. So in a way I think its re-living some of that lost time.
Just a kid at heart too.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
I was a furry for a long time.
Guess I always had the AB/DL tendencies, tho did not know of the cub part of the fandom for a while.
When I did keep it hidden for a while.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Basically 24/7 for the most part.
Its mainly for enjoyment, tho do have a occasional actual accident time to time.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
Not exactly sure, always had a interest in them, even when I was a small kid.
Even when younger I always wished I could try one on.
Always seemed like it be something that would be fun to do.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Love to watch cartoons. Lots of times on PBS or like Nick Jr.
I almost always have a plushie near by. Plushies are a big must for me.
Like to dress up in cub-ish clothes when I can.
Paci's are fun as well.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Really hard to say.
Its a maybe if had a decent home and someone who is there to take care of you.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
I like the basic cub things, tho not the forced typed of things.
For me none of it is sexual.
Well, I had started drawing. This was around the holiday season and I was looking for other people who drew so I could have a good little chat. I saw the chatroom named "The Cubby Corner" and saw the description. At the time I wasn't as comfortable with my DL self as I am now and had never spoken to anyone else who was "Like me" so I got curious, popped in, and was introduced to some cubs and in turn to the cub community.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Growing up I was always told I was very mature. I think that stems into why I enjoy cub things as I always tried to act older than I was, as a kid. I've also recently just strongly come to believe that it is very important for people to not lose that excitement and wonder that everyone has as a kid, that life gets so busy but sometimes we need to remember there are still amazing and silly things out there that deserve our excitement, even if they might be as simple as an action figure or a reboot of a favorite childhood game or series. Also cause I like the cuteness. Of my Sona and others Sona's and the situations they get drawn in.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
Originally I was just a DL. After meeting others I developed a bit of an AB/Cub/Furry side. My Cub side is 2 years old, but in truth I feel I identify more with a young kid than an actual baby. I like attention but I don't like being overly fussed over. I like my independence.
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
Just for enjoyment. Growing up I was a bed wetter so for a time I wore them for that reason, though I don't need them for that reason anymore.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
Ever since I was very veerryy little I have always had an interest in diapers, and I've never understood why. I can remember being around 4 and being in pull ups and trying to trade them with a younger kid for diapers or even having to wear goodnites to bed and thinking i'd wear diapers if they were cheaper, never bringing it up out of fear of embarrassment or shaming.
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
I like to just get very immersed into games or things of a relaxing nature. I might pick up a new version of an old game like Pokemon or play with plushies or watch a movie. Ultimately something an "adult" might see as "pointless" or "fruitless" but a kid would love and enjoy for hours and hours, such as replaying a game you've played a billion times. This all doesn't always include diapers too. When it does though, the more waddling the diaper causes the more cubby the feels I tend to get.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
No, unless I could switch back and forth between my current age and desired age. Being an adult who enjoys moments of acting like a kid allows me the freedom I wanted as a kid to do as I please without someone telling me No. Being locked in that desired age would mean i'd be forced to give up those freedoms which takes away all the imagined enjoyment.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
For me, I was a DL before a cub and for the longest time diapers on adults were only associated with naughty urges and desires in my head. I can remember coveting the idea of wearing diapers or having a girlfriend/friends who wore diapers in private, thinking it was this impossible goal. I might not have the girlfriend part but I do have the friend part. I even thought I'd never wear thicker more abdl diapers but that happened too. I love wearing and enjoy the feeling of a thick or heavy (wet) diaper. Sometimes if I'm feeling cubby it can inadvertently cross over into feeling naughty as for years diapers had been associated only with the sexual desires, though this isn't always the case.
Well I was looking for community and I always liked baby fur pictures so I decided to be a baby fur. Through FA mostly I also didn't like the adult side because I didn't have many friends so ya.
2) Why are you a cub? Does it come from your upbringing?
Nope mostly family and community.
3) Were you a furry before you were a cub? Were you an AB/DL before you were a cub? Did you come into both at the same time?
No but i always liked diapers. I had a master and stuff who got me into it,
4) Do you wear diapers in real life? Do you wear them for medical reasons, enjoyment, or both?
No wish I could but personal reasons.
5) If you like diapers, where did your interest in them come from?
My master on Furcadia started it and it snowballed from there
6) What kinds of things do you do to cub out?
Hang out and watch kids shows on TV.
7) Would you return to your desired age if given the chance?
Yep but I would want to be an adult to.
8) Do you have any sexual interests that cross over into cub interests? Diaper wearing, being treated like a baby, humiliation, bondage, etc
Yes I like everything pretty much. I like alot of things
