Survey - AB/DL Practices - 1 - Media Essays

13)Is there something that you would like to add about your favorite AB/DL-related picture, story, video, etc.? (optional)

This was the first of the few essay questions that the survey included among the multiple choice questions. Some of the responses are presented below. They are sorted unscientifically. Some have been edited for length.

Given the scope of the preceeding questions, question #13 is particularly useful. Even within 'stag movies,' one surveyee might be thinking about a standard porno, and another about Disney's "Bambi." For the surveyees that completed it, it can be used to provide much-needed context for interpreting the multiple choice questions. Many embraced the question and expressed not just what their favorite media item was, but what it meant to them.

Content

Characters to Be

• "To be that young one publicly taken care of."
• "It is easier for me to enjoy the media if it involves a male character. That way I am able to put myself into the fantasy."
• "It puts me in a state of mind where I like to imagine myself being that person and I desire everything they have in the pictures."

Characters to Be With

• "I associate my favorite DL photo with a (fantasized) sexual partner, that is, a consenting heterosexual adult female who would willingly wear diapers as part of our sexual experience(s) -- something I have not (unfortunately!) experienced in reality."
• "I love seeing photos of women in diapers. There is an innocent sexuality to it, seeing what should be hidden; the wonder why she is diapered. Ultimately the thought about IF she is wet, the condition of her pussy, the ultimate objective. My desires are to change and care for a diaper wearing woman, as she does the same for me. It has a dom/sub component, as well as exhibitionistic traits."
• "I love pictures of young adult attractive girls in diapers. I would love to be in a switch relationship with one of them. "

Intrinsic Quality

• "Creativity is important. I think we have all gotten over hump of taking a picture of ourselves in a diapered neutral standing position. With that, something slightly beyond the trend is always more interesting to me."

Women in Diapers

• "For me, seeing an adult woman wearing diapers and plastic pants which are visible, under clothing, or just diapers and minimal clothing alone is virtually the hottest visual thing for me on the planet."
• "I just like pictures of women in diapers and plastic pants."
• "Seeing a lady in a diaper/nappy is good, but seeing a lady in a diaper/nappy who wears and uses it because she wants to is great"
• "I enjoy younger, attractive woman acting as a toddler in diapers, that need changing from all elimination activities."
• "I would have to say the best ones are of adult women dressed in AB outfits with AB accessories and not just women in diapers."

Furry

• "I do prefer Furry art in this regard, it's just super cute :)."
• "Furry drawing of a male adult dalmatian character being diapered by a male human."
• "I enjoy sexually-charged pictures as well, but my favorites are always cleaner pictures, with no sexuality imbued within them. Furriness is the big thing for me. Media related to humans holds no interest to me, sexual or otherwise."
• "Don't think you can find it any more besides buying the book (http://www.lulu.com/content/1066827), but I picked Marci McAdam's "Family Picnic"."
• "There's a girl called Kitten, her website is diaperedkitten.com...that's my favouritist!"

Specific Content or Themes

• "It involves a wife putting her husband into diapers. I also like humiliation of his situation."
• "As a submissive the story that features a male being forced into diapers and sissified too is the best."
• "Romantic aspects are preferred."
• "I like also to see homoerotic images with men in diapers in sexual foreplay (kissing, fondling while diapered, etc.) And women as well (two women in diapers engaged in sexual activities)."
• "I like it when the character has a companion of the opposite gender who is also a cub/diapered adult and shares a deep bond that encompasses a mate, playmate, and lover."
• "Seeing a wet diaper in video or photo is the tops of the list for me."
• "Spanking is always part of it."
• "It looks to me like I enjoy the look of an adult girl and the smell of her in a messy and wet diaper. Even if they haven't used their pants or diapers, if they look like they are about to go in their pants or diaper it is a major turn on."

Underaged Characters

• "There is some worry when dealing with media featuring young children. However, I think that most AB/DLs are not stimulated by the child directly, but the idea of BEING the child, of being in the situation that they are in. It is a recapture of the youth, and innocence of the time, and certainly not to be confused with pedophilia."
• "No Children!"
• "18 and over only! Diapered and being a baby.

Media

Pictures and Drawings

• "It is a picture of myself at 3 years old in cloth diapers, plastic pants, and snap up diaper shirt."
• "It is one I drew myself."

Stories

• "My favorite types of stories are those where someone's 'status' is reduced. Stories where a person older in age is somehow placed in the care of someone younger for example. Not so much a parent and child's relationship being reversed. More things like a younger employee gaining control over an older, more experienced coworker, as an example."
• "The story in question is The Double Life of Ariel Crawford, by Megan Roe. I simply love reading these stories, but have no desire to be part of them. In stories involving adult females regressing of their own accord, I enjoy thinking how nice it would be to take care of them, but I seldom have other fantasies from stories."
• "I enjoy any story where the person is punished and forced into wearing diapers."
• "A short story comes to mind. Specifically one with a female wearing diapers and acting little. Not to the point of a baby, but of a toddler/young child."
• "Probably one of the turning points of my life came when I read the story "The Bishonen Diaper Lover" the summer before my senior year of high school (2004). The website for the story can no longer be found, but I believe that a copy of it is posted on the ABDL Story Forum. Briefly, the story follows the adventures of a young teenage Diaper Lover named Will, who lives on a US military base in Japan and also does kendo (Japanese Swordfighting). Will, his AB girlfriend, and their mutual, diaper-wearing friends are tormented by an woman who heads a yakuza crime family. I would have to say that the thing that I enjoyed the most about the story was the way in which it combined many of the aspects of Fantasy novels that I enjoy (the author and I read many of the same books) with diapers. Diapers are a critical part of the story, but not the entirety of the story. I think that the story is so important to me because it gave me several strong protagonists, who just happened to wear diapers. It also introduced me to Kendo, which has become one of the defining aspects of my live for the last 6 years. I think that one of the reasons that I enjoy Kendo so much is that it allows me to project myself into the fantastical world that Will inhabits where good triumphs over evil and does it while wearing a soggy diaper."
• "In Ariel Crawford, it is the growth of the character that most interests me, and the main reason why I have read it too many times to count. Danielle, the character who will later come to provenance in Selling Out, is my favorite character, as her personality and fetish are rather similar to mine."

Videos

• "Changing videos are the best."
• "Early ByteMine videos have always been my favorite."
• "The video is of an older baby boy, around 2. He's sitting in a chair playing with his toys, sucking on a pacifier and wearing a nappy and pajamas. The waistband of his nappy is sticking out from his pajama pants. Without any warning he spreads his legs and does a poo - his nappy visibly expands inside his pajamas. He is smiling behind his pacifier. I would love to be that baby boy at that moment. It just captures the joy of being a baby: playing with toys and then doing a poo in your nappy, not having any control over doing it but enjoying it all the same."

Movies

• "The Secret of NIMH was a movie I don't remember seeing as a kid, but after watching it as a teen it became a mental image I could use to flood myself with feelings of hope, and determination. The character I was most drawn to was not the children, but the selfless, protective mother ... Mrs. Brisby. Her determination to save her son, and save her home from destruction was something that provides inspiration because it was something I was not (and still aren't, to a degree): Someone who would risk anything to help another. I watched the movie while cubbing out, hoping it would actually be the story I remember from childhood, but the feelings of hope, wonder, and protective femininity put me squarely in the mind of a cub, and still do when I think about them. "
• "I really like the movie short, 'Redemption,' as a depiction of my own life story, [just] not as dramatic."
• "I enjoy 'classic' Disney movies and other older style animation, such as 101 Dalmatians, Winnie the Pooh, etc. I like the 'childlike' innocence of the characters and the simplicity of the the storyline. As to the above questions, there is no need for such media to have AB content."

Misc.

• "I like to look at pictures yes, but I have a hubby/ baby and he is all I need to dream and fantasize and play with."
• "Just that I wish that we had more movies, TV shows and stuff that would allow AB/DLs to be put out in a better light."
• "A favourite story is transitory because it all depends on the mood I am in when I read it. I have several favs depending on what I want to read at the time."
