Questions # 24-31

"There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." - Dr. Who

(For brevity, mommy/baby, daddy/baby, sitter/baby, etc. will be included in 'caregiver/child' for the following questions.)

24)How important is roleplay to you?

	N=1474	%	Option
1	325	22%	Almost every AB/DL-like scene or fantasy for me centers around roleplay.
2	321	22%	Sometimes I'm roleplaying or fantasizing as a specific role, but at other times I leave the role for more adult play.
3	398	27%	Sometimes, depending on other factors.
4	218	15%	Rarely; usually being me as an adult is more fun.
5	33	2%	Never; caregiver/child and similar roleplay turns me off.
6	179	12%	Never; I'm just not interested in roleplay.

25)In ageplay-related fantasies, what role do enjoy being most? (Please choose the closest match. For example, an adopted babyfur cub might be a newborn or toddler.)

	N=1476	%	Option
1	146	10%	Newborn/young baby
2	544	37%	Toddler
3	210	14%	Small child, before puberty
4	138	9%	Teen or older child (but not a caregiver)
5	85	6%	Adult (but not a caregiver)
6	9	1%	Sitter, nurse, teacher, or other unrelated caregiver
7	50	3%	Mommy, daddy, big brother, or other related caregiver
8	92	6%	I enjoy roleplay, but no specific roles in the caregiver/child context.
9	202	14%	I don't enjoy roleplay.

26)How often do you try to 'regress' or achieve a babylike 'headspace'? That is, how often do you go beyond acting like a baby or child to trying to think like or 'be' a baby or child? (Since we don't have intimate knowledge of how babies think, this might simply take the form of trying to not think like an adult.)

	N=1466	%	Option
1	256	17%	I almost always regress (or try to) when I roleplay as a baby or child.
2	403	27%	I sometimes regress (or try to) when I roleplay as a baby or child.
3	268	18%	I rarely regress (or try to) when I roleplay as a baby or child.
4	182	12%	I don't regress (or try to) when I roleplay as a baby or child.
5	357	24%	I don't roleplay or don't roleplay as a baby or child.

27)How important is the right diaper (and diaper cover) for you?

	N=1459	%	Option
1	751	51%	Diapers are critical, and the diaper must be of a right type. Other types might be practical, but just not the same. An ABDL or ageplay scene without a diaper (either on me or my partner) just wouldn't work.
2	544	37%	Diapers are critical, but the type of diaper isn't. An ABDL or ageplay scene without diapers (either on me or my partner) just wouldn't work.
3	124	8%	Diapers are optional. An ABDL or ageplay scene without a diaper (either on me or my partner) might work.
4	31	2%	Diapers might be OK, but not really what I'm into.
5	9	1%	Wearing a diaper is unpleasant. I'll have more fun without it.

28)Do you enjoy wetting (urinating in) diapers?

	N=1460	%	Option
1	1218	83%	yes
2	151	10%	sometimes
3	52	4%	rarely
4	39	3%	no

29)Do you enjoy messing (defecating in) diapers?

	N=1471	%	Option
1	378	26%	yes
2	319	22%	sometimes
3	334	23%	rarely
4	440	30%	no

30)Would you describe your collection of ABDL things as...

	N=1466	%	Option
1	193	13%	nothing right now
2	550	38%	diapers and maybe plastic pants only
3	307	21%	the above plus a few off-the-shelf toys
4	37	3%	the above plus many off-the-shelf toys
5	325	22%	the above items plus baby clothes in my size
6	54	4%	the above plus custom furniture

31)Were you ever driven by guilt to repeatedly throw away all your ABDL things (or BDSM toys, etc) and swear that you'd "quit", only to give in and get more things? This is called the binge-purge cycle.

	N=1469	%	Option
1	225	15%	Yes, and am still going through it.
2	183	12%	Yes, but I outgrew it somehow.
3	100	7%	Yes, but I was able to break the cycle by moderating the binge and/or purge.
4	264	18%	Yes, but was able to break the cycle by changing what I thought about myself and/or what I thought about my interests.
5	54	4%	Yes, but was able to break the cycle some other way.
6	643	44%	No.
