AB/DL Survey #1 Part 1 Results


Sections: Survey #1 part 1 - 2 - joys - 3 - events - 4 - messages - 5 - 6 & 7

Edit 5 December 2016: These results have been updated per the tenth year standards update.
Edit 15 May 2019: Questions one and three offered participants the options of providing a nickname and email address, respectively. This information was initially kept confidential and was later deleted to fully anonymize the results. Question two, intended as a way to match participants across multiple surveys in the series without providing otherwise-identifying information, was removed early in data collection.

Questions # 4-7

4) Do you consider yourself to be:

N=1479 % Option
1 283 19%DL only (loves diapers, but no roleplay)
2 503 34%mostly DL but sometimes AB
3 292 20%AB+DL equally
4 150 10%mostly AB but sometimes DL
5 157 11%only AB (loves roleplay, generally including diapers)
6 12 1%non-AB/DL ageplayer
7 6 0%non-AB/DL BDSM enthusiast
8 76 5%Other

The 'Other' option included a blank to fill in. While they couldn't be analyzed statistically, these answers were interesting and enlightening. This question was intended to map of AB/DLs on a single axis, ranging from AB to DL. An 'other' option was provided, in case that single axis didn't capture the range of AB/DL interests. The answers provided showed that there was a substantial list of other axes not addressed by this question. (Some were addressed in later question, and others will be addressed in later surveys.)

Rejecting the AB/DL spectrum, a minority of the participants treated the question as an opportunity to summarize their interests in a few words. Some did a pretty good job. As is often the case with surveys, the minorities are as educational as the masses. Here is a sampling of the 'other' responses.
