Survey #2: Diapers and More

The first survey of this series provided information on the community as a whole, and showed a number of facets the community's diversity. However, to keep the first survey from being too long, many topics needed to left for other surveys. The second survey addressed the most central of AB/DL objects, the diaper, some peripheral topics. These included birth order, masochism, transvestism, fetishism, furry fandom, and coincidental conditions.

Data collection for the first survey started in 2008 and closed in 2009.

Summary Results

When reading the summary results, please keep two properties in mind. First, these summaries average across all responses: Male and Female, AB and DL. Averaging across groups that are different may give odd results.

Second, these results describe a sample of the AB/DL population. Specifically, the sample described includes only the AB/DLs who were able to complete the survey and volunteered to do so. For example, no responses were received from AB/DLs born before 1925. This might be more due to the presently small number of octogenarians who complete online surveys, as opposed to a historic absence of AB/DLs.

'Part Zero': Questions#1-6 covered the basics; AB to DL mix, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and birth year.

Part 1: Questions#7-17 explored birth order.

Part 2: Questions#18-29 gauged the distributions of four interests that are often associated with with AB/DLs; masochism, transvestism, furry fandom, and fetishism.

Part 3: Questions#31-47 briefly touched upon some other conditions that have been associated with AB/DLs.

Part 4: Questions#48-57 asked about trends in the importance of some aspects of AB/DL games, scenes, and fantasies over time.

Part 5: Questions#58-63 explored the type of diaper preferred in fantasy and reality.
