Understanding Infantilism (.org)

Since it's creation in 1995, this website has been devoted to sharing information about infantilism, diaper fetishes, and AB/DLs. Its goal has been to build better lives though understanding.

What is infantilism?

While infantilism has appeared on a few TV shows such as CSI, it isn't widely understood. Paraphilic infantilism and diaper fetishes are both deep and lasting urges with a specific focus: diapers and/or babyhood. The urges differs from person to person. Infantilism isn't a fetish per se, but may coexist with a diaper fetish. Neither involve actual children. Infantilists and those with diaper fetishes are often called Adult Babies and Diaper Lovers (ABDLs or AB/DLs).

Why would someone want to wear diapers?

There are many speculations about what causes infantilism and diaper fetishes. In truth, the causes are probably as diverse as the AB/DLs themselves. Those who advocate a one-size-fits-all answer are stretching things.

Is being an AB/DL OK?

Infantilism and diaper fetishes aren't directly harmful, but have their risks. Some of these need to be addressed as a community, while others must be addressed individually.

Learning More

More detail can be found from what AB/DLs do. There is also an articles index and an AB/DL glossary.

As an investment in the future, a system of surveys has been set up. Currently, responces are being gathered for the first survey, ABs, DLs, Etc., Results on the range between AB and DL; how the sexual and internet revolutions have changed the AB/DL community; and ways to describe the diversity present in the desires of infantilism and diaper fetishes.
