TMI TUESDAY - ABDL - What does it mean to you?
10 years ago
General
I've decided I wanna ask you guys more things and get a bit more involved.
Pre emptive warning that this is probably TMI, but hey it's Tuesday, etc etc.
In regards to the ABDL / Babyfur / Diaper fetish community in general, I just have an open question:
What does it mean to you?
Is it a way to escape after a long stressful day/week/experience?
Something that's purely fictitious and something you just like seeing drawn?
Or is it something that you tie in with another interest such as BDSM?
For me personally, I'd say it's predominantly a fetish. In the sense of it being more a sexual thing.
A few years ago, I'd use it as a comfort kinda thing, but really, there's a limit of what you can do when you don't really like the regression/ab side of things.
(Not that I don't find it cute, I quite enjoy drawing it! Just not something I can personally enjoy/get into.)
Surprisingly, despite the amount of things I draw, and the amount I have stashed away, it's something that is actually very rarely partaken in IRL for me.
I'd say... less than once a month. Honestly.
I do own a few Paci's (thanks to thestargrazer >_>) and a few kigus/onesies, but that's really the limit for anything aside from diapers in general.
The "mindset" is something I've never been able to settle into. Go back 4-5 year and I did to use them for comfort, sleep in them, and...
...I, suppose feel a bit "little". It was something I especially treated myself to when I was having old mother nature visit. I don't have that issue anymore because yay sciencey plastic shoved in my arm, but >_> <_< I dunno, I kinda miss that. >_> maybe I can make it a new years resolution
So TLDR; For me, it's more fetish based. Whilst there are some, eh, borderline AB aspects I like, it's extremely rare I indulge in it as a fetish, let alone anything more. I do often draw it however, which I thoroughly enjoy doing!
FA+

As for tie-in kinks, I enjoy crossdressing and a thick diaper looks cute under a skirt x3
and yes! :D >_> I love them haha. Have em stashed in my bedside cupboard :3
I guess it really depends on my mood... x3
I hope this was of use to you, LaydeeKaze
Have you ever tried wearing a diaper for an extended period of time? Maybe not wearing "big girl pants" for a day or two?
As for the DL part, I'm an odd hybrid..I like to wear/use diapers, but also sometimes ageplay even younger than my 8 year old OC, maybe even a toddler.
I'm DL because it is a sexual fetish for me, although fetish-wise I'm interested mainly in potty-training scenarios/training pants, that sort of thing. I have a urine fetish as well. This side of me is the oldest, being with me since I was about four.
I'm AB because I enjoy doing babyish things. Besides wearing diapers, I love pacifiers, plushies, cartoons, and all that stuff. This is the more comfort-based side, but it can't really be explained that easily - it's become a pretty major aspect of my personality it seems. I've even pondered if living an almost 24/7 baby lifestyle under the care of someone else (if I had a caregiver) could be the right life choice for me.
And I'm babyfur because I like the art, and acting out some puppy mannerisms, although that's more in the realm of petplay than furryhood.
While i do find it hard to get into the 'little' mindset, i think thats just because while i'm trying to be little i always have to watch my back just incase someone notices my padding. And that would be VERY bad. My mother hates my Little side and even went so far as to try and make me give it up cold-turkey last year. Of course, it didn't work. Because you can't just give it up, it becomes a part of who you are no matter what. Its a way to relax after a very stressful week or two. I personally have a 'little day' almost every two weeks to relieve my stress thats built up over the two weeks. Its really helpful, actually. Plus it gives me an excuse to take reference pictures.
I own 2 pacifier and 4 onesies/kigus at the moment. I had a bottle, but again, mum took it all. She gave back my pacifiers because i really do need them to sleep and to calm down. They are a real comforter for me. When i'm padded it just helps more with feeling little. Again, its very hard because of how much i've gotta make sure nobody notices but i can somewhat get into the mindset when i just sit on my bed and hug my plushies.
In the end, its a comforter for me. My psychiatrist told me it might be because of my lost memory that i feel like i had no childhood so being little is a way for my body trying to regain that childhood. Or it might be that i never felt very loved when i was younger (due to how bad my temper was and how much i got in trouble at school, nursery and at home (ADHD, Aspergers and autism really doesn't help that))
It's a fetish thing for me, that's for sure. It ties into lots of things, bondage, sissy stuff, humiliation and other things. Lots of ab stuff too, it's all good. Although it's not relaxing, per se, it's a relief when I do get the opportunity to pad up, pun not intended >_>
