Adult Baby (AB)

This is the first title of the Kink/Fetish within our Community, and it simply stands for the exact thing it describes which is where Adults over the age of Eighteen Years (18+), behave, regress or take on a role of an Infant. It has many titles such as Paraphilic Infantilism, Autonepiophilia, Psychosexual Infantilism, or Adult Baby Syndrome which the latter is what the Community chose to shorten down and title as Adult Baby. All these mean the exact same thing as described above, and the category they are labelled is under what we all know to be Age Play or Ageplay. In comparison, Age Play to Kink/Fetish is a little similar to what Age Regression is to a Child, but please remember that Age Regression is not a Kink/Fetish, so IT IS NOT THE SAME!

There are many subcategories to Age Play which to explain them all then I would need to publish a Hard Back or something because there is way too much to break it all down for you here, but I will try my best to sum it up as much as possible. The first thing to know is that even though this is a Kink/Fetish then it does not necessarily mean it is actually sexual for all of its members. In fact, it is this reason being Non-Sexual Age Players that a lot of members will use tags such as Age Regression instead of Adult Baby because they technically are using Age Regression itself. For some members it can be certain things they do find sexual which these are pretty broad because just like always, it is down to the individual themselves as to what they find attractive. It can be fantasising or playing out certain roles either by themselves or with another consenting individual, it can be specific objects that they have or wish to use within their Age Play, it can literally be anything at all that really gets them seductively, but it will most likely be something minor or specific. For everyone else then they can find absolutely everything to do with Age Play arousing no matter what it involves, so it really does depend where you are on the spectrum.

You will never find one of the same Babies and by this, I mean that some members can only indulge in certain activities, or they may not be able to fully submerge into much of a Little Space for whatever reason that may be. These members tend to keep things to a minimal, but they still have the ability to use Age Play in their own way. Other members like to experiment with how far their Age Play boundaries go which one day they can be minimal and then other days they find themselves experimenting further into their Little Space, at a pace they’re comfortable to do so. These tend to be open with others, but they are always reserved in regards to how far into Age Play they wish to really commit at any given time. The rest of the Community can indulge into pretty much everything and they are not really ashamed, reserved, or even attempt to hide just how much they have embraced their Kink/Fetish. They tend to be very confident and you will find most have everything to hand that is needed to really get them into that Little Space ever so easily.

Adult Babies tend to have a pretty big market all over the entire world from upsized Baby Accessories that are specifically for Adults, Clothing that is both Kink/Fetish and again upsized Baby Styles, to Diapers/Nappies that are spoilt for choice which we will talk about that in our second title of the Kink/Fetish within our Community

Speaking of which…

Diaper Lover (DL)

This is that second title to the Kink/Fetishwithin our Community and just like before it is a self-explanatory title in that it is an Individual who simply loves Diapers/Nappies. Now Love can be a very broad statement because it can be defined in so many ways, but to clarify this for you then it literally can mean in every form!... Yes!... That is right… EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE WAY! Diaper Lovers are people who have deep-rooted desires towards Diapers/Nappies whether that be Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and/or even Sexually. Most people that live with this can get extremely confused and sometimes even frustrated on understanding why it is this way for them. The thing is that it’s really unexplainable and even professional medical experts cannot put a specific theory together due to many factors being at play. If this is in any way inaccurate to say then I apologize deeply for the misinformation, but to my personal knowledge when writing this then I believe it is true to the case. It’s because once again each individual is very different from one another and most have a variety of different attributions to be able to pinpoint a certain cause. So many people have so many theories from which some believe it could have stemmed from an individual’s Babyhood, some theorize it could have developed as a result of certain events or trauma during Childhood, some think it can be a symptom of a mild Developmental Disorder, and the list is pretty much endless but truthfully whatever the reason is, then it is just built into a person’s psyche which can easily be agreed upon by the majority.

Some members of our Community can have a Kink, some can have a Fetish, some can be Platonic, some just use them as a tool or method of self-soothing towards whatever reason, and some people have a combination of everything. Whatever their reason for engaging, then it all comes down to having attractions towards Diapers/Nappies themselves. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a sexual attraction but something about them simply makes every Diaper Lover drawn towards them, which again the reasons to why are never specific.

As our Community has grown and gained momentum over the years then so has the market for Diapers/Nappies to suit every individual’s needs. Whether it is a Kink, Fetish, Platonic, Aesthetics, Medical, Therapy, or anything else, then there is a Diaper/Nappy for each and every single person out there. They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and prints, textures and materials, and the list definitely goes on here. You can also have the choice between Disposable or Cloth, and the accessories are just as highly demanded for either of them too. For members that are AB as well as Diaper Lovers then there are even replicas of Baby Diapers/Nappies both old and current market that are being manufactured in adult sizes. It goes to show that there is no limit to the person’s individuality that I have kept mentioning so much. It even stretches as far as customized Diapers/Nappies being made upon request by some companies, but admittedly these can be very difficult to find as not only can they be extremely expensive, the demand can be very short. It’s not as far as to being unheard of though, so there is luck for every Diaper Lover out there if they look in the right places.

Little/Baby

Depending on which category AB members place themselves then it does depend on what they use as a title for themselves or by others. Littles tend to be members that are Non-Sexual Age Playersand/or Platonic, and Babies are members more involved with Kinkand/or Fetish. Now, it is not uncommon to come across members that sometimes belong to both because it has been known to depend on any relationships people have or want to have with others. If it is a sexual relationship then they are often given the titles Baby Boy/Girl by their Partners or Caregivers, but if it is a Non-Sexual and/or Platonic relationships then they are normally given the titles Little Boy/Girl/One by their Caregivers. It really is important to know the difference as this can clash between members when seeking other people to take part in one another’s Kink/Fetish/Non-Sexual Age Play Relationships. You don’t want to mistake Littles for Babies because there are many reasons why a Little is who they are. It can be the exact same reasons or similar as to why a Child would use Age Regression, so you have to tread extremely careful around members using this identity. They may have suffered from or experienced a lot of traumata which is why they are identifying as Littlesto begin with. Babies can go through this too, but they can find themselves being drawn towards their experiences sexually, so caution is a must with everyone no matter who they are or why they are here.

It’s best to be smart and be aware of the fact that our Community should be one of Support, Development and Understanding with no negotiations to interpretation. It doesn’t matter where you are placed in our Community, there should always be considerations and respect towards the members within it whether you are a part of it or not.

Little/Baby Space

The term used for when an individual is active in or has activated their Age Play. It is not only their “headspace” when they have regressed, but it also can mean an actual physical place to which they practice or indulge in their Age Play. It is extremely important for an ABDL to be able to have this space no matter what their developed roles are or where they are placed on the spectrum to who they are within our Community. Whether it is Kink, Fetish or Non-Sexual Age Play then it is extremely essential for ABDLMembers to have the ability to visit their Little/Baby Space. It almost becomes a need for most individuals that simply cannot resist or cope with any urges or temptations they have and for whatever reason they validate.

I have to also clarify from an earlier statement that it is not just Diaper Lovers alone that have the deep-rooted desires implanted within them. This can be the case for pretty much everyone throughout our Community, especially Littles/Babies. For many reasons they do require that escape from Adulthood, that release from their desires or pent-up emotions, that therapy which helps them deal with their inner struggles where other methods may have failed them. Not only this but actively having a safe environment to be in while engaging can get them through whatever barriers they have or do face in their personal lives.

Caregivers

This is a person who takes care of an ABDLwhen that member is active or has activated their Age Play. Just like real Babies and Children, there tends to be a need for someone to look after Littles/Babieswhen they are most vulnerable which majority of the time is in their Little/Baby Space. They simply take care of them in ways that both agree are necessary, they have got to have their Little/Babies best interests close to hand at all times no matter what it entails, and they support their Little/Babyas much as possible by being there for them when they require them the most. Now just like Little/Babies there are different types of Caregivers within our Community also, so the titles they use and/or are given serve a very huge determinant to the understanding of what type of Caregiver they’ve endorsed. This means that they are split into Kink and Fetish, which we’ve concluded can be sexual as well as Platonic/Non-Sexual which is not. Some Caregivers can also be both which is exactly the same as we have discussed earlier in regard to Age Players, so again it is not uncommon to discover members using many different titles. To summarize it all briefly for you then I will list here some popular Kink/Fetishtitles that are given or applied to Caregivers by Gender: Male: Daddy Dom (DD), Sir, Mister, Master, King, Lord, Governor Female: Mommy/Mummy Dom (MD), Mistress, Miss, Madam, Goddess, Queen, Ma’am, Governess, Countess Neutral: Your Highness, Your Excellency, Owner, Handler, Keeper, Patron

These titles are generally given to Platonic/Non-SexualCaregivers by Gender: Male: Daddy, Dada, Papa/Popa, Papi, Pop Pop, Popa/Papa Bear Female: Mommy/Mummy, Mama, Mom Mom, Mommykins/Mummykins, Moma/Mama Bear Neautral: Big, Bear, Caregiver, Guardian, Protector, Carer, Boss

When it comes to pet names for Littles and Babies then there isn’t too much of a difference that Caregivers would use. There is often a crossover with them, but it’s important to know that AB names should not be used for Littles, and I am sure I don’t have to explain why. If you ever use an AB name on a Little then you will immediately get shut down from that Little. This is because like I have mentioned in that Littles are Platonic/Non-Sexual, so they can instantly think you are trying to sexualize them or humiliate them by using Kink/Fetish names that are meant for Babies only.

To summarize it the best I can then I will list some popular Kink/Fetishtitles that are given or applied to Babies by Gender. Some tend to have the words Baby, Diaper/Nappy or Pissy/S””tty/Pottyin front of them: Male: Little Boy (LB), Puppy, Stud, Sissy, Boi, Prince, Boy Toy Female: Little Girl (LG), Kitten, Bunny, Doll/Dolly, Pearl, Damsel, Princess, Girl Toy Neutral: Pet, Slave, Servant, Slut, Property, Treasure

These titles are given to Platonic/Non-Sexual Littles by Gender which some tend to only have the word Baby or Diaper/Nappy in front of them if the Little is comfortable with their Caregiver adding them: Male: Baby Boy (BB), Prince, Good Boy Female: Baby Girl (BG), Princess, Missy, Good Girl, Neautral: Little One, Sunshine, Darling, Dear, Cub, Pup/Puppy, Kitty/Kitten, Babe, Cupcake, Sweetie, Cherub, Angel, Precious, Cutie

Protection, Safety, Compassion, Affection, Admiration, Personal Care, Positive Developments, Character Building, Confidence, Guardianship, Reliance is all just to name a few that’s extremely crucial for a Caregiver to provide their Little/Babies. Not only this, but for them to be a successful Caregiver then it requires their Little/Babyto reciprocate these back to them so that it can be a satisfying, fulfilling and a successful experience for everyone involved.

Guidance and Advice:

So… Final Summary… As you can see there is a lot to cover, and I hope I have made things clear by breaking all the basic information down here. If I am to be completely honest then it has barely scratched the surface because there is a lot more definition to every single part that I have summarized not only here, but on the previous article too which is explaining all about Minors Tags. I have done both these pieces to possibly provide everyone with the ability to have a better understanding of our Community. It can be a confusing place for many who are starting to find their feet here and who are just about managing to cope with the discovery of themselves, so it is important to teach them as much as we know. It has all been passed down from the greats that started pushing us out there into the world and making our Community a place for all who it involves.

“DO NOT BE ASHAMED TO BE WHO YOU ARE AND ACCEPT YOURSELF NOT ONLY FOR THE PERSON YOU HAVE BECOME, BUT FOR THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE PERSON YOU CAN BE!!!”

WARNING AND NOTICES:

I know I shouldn’t have to remind you at this point, but our Community as you know does include Minors under certain titles and I have explained the tags to which they use, so please check out that article and bear this in mind. They are very vulnerable members, so it will do well to keep your distance at all costs. There are no excusable actions for Adults to get their Kink/Fetish/Age Play involved with Minors, so you have been warned. It will land you into some very serious trouble in many ways, so it will do well to STAY ALERT!!!

Highlights:

Age Play and Age Regression are two completely different things even though you may think they are the same… They are not… Age Play is role play between two consenting Adults and Age Regression is a mechanism to which a Child’s Mind is regressed to years that are earlier than their actual age or of an Infant. Keep them separated!!!

Littles and Adult Babies are also two separate individuals meaning that if you are an Adult and you are strictly Platonic/Non-Sexual in our Community then you are indeed a Little, but if you are an Adult that is here to engage as a Kink or Fetish then you are an Adult Baby. Keep them separated!!!

Diaper Lovers do not automatically get categorized as having a Kink or Fetish as some members can be Platonic/Non-Sexual so it’s best to never assume they are. Also, Diaper Lovers are not necessarily AB or Littles either so again do not assume they have the connections. Keep them separated!!!

Kinks are not Fetishes and Fetishes are not Kinks. The difference between the two is that Kink involves mainly adding the roles of BDSM (Bondage, Discipline/Dominance, Sadism/Submissive, Masochism) to your Age Play and Fetish is having sexual desires/attractions with certain roles, aspects or objects of Age Play which objects are like Diapers, Clothes, etc etc. Keep them Separated!!!

Caregivers have different titles depending on Age Regression, Age Play, Kinks and Fetishes, so it is important for Caregivers to know who they are to their Littles or Adult Babies. It is also just as essential for Littles and Adult Babies to state exactly what they want in any dynamic from their Caregivers too.

There are members that can be a part of everything within our Community, so there can be reasons for Crosstagging. It is not wrong for Adults to use Minors Tags IF there are rules that apply like they do not have a Kink or Fetish and that they simply do use Age Regression even if they are over the age of Eighteen Years (18+). These members just have to be reminded that when using Tags that are meant for Minors, they need to make sure that their posts state “OVER 18 ONLY” and/or “NO MINORS ALLOWED” as well as sticking to their content being suitable for Minors no matter what!

GROOMING MINORS IS NOT OK!!!

NO MINORS BELONG IN KINK!!!

MINORS ARE INEXCUSABLY OFF LIMITS!!!

DO NOT INTERACT WITH MINORS!!!

ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO USE WHATEVER TAGS THEY FEEL ARE NECESSARY, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE NO SEXUAL KINK/FETISH ENGAGEMENTS IF THEY ARE USING AGE REGRESSION TAGS. IT IS VITAL TO KNOW THAT MANY MEMBERS OVER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN (18+) CAN BE LEGITIMATELY AGE REGRESSION ONLY AND HAVE NO CONNECTIONS WHATSOEVER WITH THE SEXUAL KINK/FETISH SIDE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

IT IS ALSO NOT UNHEARD OF THAT SOME MEMBERS CAN BE INVOLVED WITH BOTH SIDES THAT ARE AGE PLAY AND AGE REGRESSION AT THE SAME TIME. THEY CAN CHOOSE TO BE ON ONE SIDE OVER THE OTHER AND IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH ONE THEY ENGAGE IN AT ANY PARTICULARLY GIVEN TIME. THIS AGAIN IS WHY CROSSTAGGING IS ABSOLUTELY ACCEPTABLE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

As A Reminder One Last Time!!!

BE AWARE OF CROSSTAGGING!!!

MAKE SURE TO STATE “OVER 18 ONLY” WHEN YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO CROSSTAG. THIS NOT ONLY WARNS ANY POTENTIAL CHILDREN THAT ARE ACCESSING SOME OF YOUR CONTENT, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS AS WELL AS TRAUMATISING FOR SOME, BUT IT ALSO LETS OUR COMMUNITY KNOW THAT YOU ARE AWARE THERE ARE DIFFERENT SIDES TO OUR COMMUNITY WHEN IT COMES TO AGE PLAY AND AGE REGRESSION.

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO USE TAGS HOWEVER THEY SEE FIT, BUT JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE NOTE THAT THE LATTER OF THESE TAGS ARE HEAVILY SUPPORTED TOWARDS MINORS.

Stay Safe!... Stay Well!... Stay Positive! L.A.S
