Adult Babies

After a recent sighting of my nephew in only a diaper, sucking on a pacifier, I was reminded of a disturbing image that has continued to haunt me. Adult Babies. Yes, I know it's an oxymoron, but they do exist. Haven't you ever seen Jerry Springer (yes, I admit I watch it...only when nothing else is on, right?) when they feature "Adult Babies?" It not only grosses me out beyond belief, not because they are wearing diapers, because we all know about incontinence, but because they are wearing them and don't need them! All said, it makes me wonder:

1. What kind of diapers do they use?

2. Do they use the rubber panties that go over them in case of leakage?

3. Do they have to buy double the wipes, or do they just use toilet-paper?

4. Do they change these diapers themselves?

5. If they are in public, do they nonchalantly dispose of said diaper in the main

trash or take them home with them and dispose of them in their own Diaper Genie? 6. If they have already had orthodontia, does sucking on a pacifier negate any of that fine work?

7. Do they get diaper rash? Or not because they can feel when they aren't dry and change right away?

After pondering these questions for awhile, I decided to take a deeper look into the world of Adult Babiehood. I googled "Adult Baby" and I stumbled upon a Wikipedia entry titled "Paraphilic Infantilism." Apparently, this is the correct terminology for these diaper lovin' fools!

From Wikipedia:

Paraphilic infantilism is a paraphilia characterized by the desire to wear diapers and be treated as an infant[1] or toddler. One who engages in infantilistic play is known as an adult baby (AB). About one in three adult babies is also a diaper lover (DL),[2][3] so they are collectively known as AB/DLs.[4] The majority of infantilists are heterosexual males[5].

***Attention*** Paraphilic Infantilism is not to be confused with "Diaper Fetish" Read on:

One way to describe paraphilic infantilism is to contrast it with a diaper fetish, and this contrast is most clear in fantasies. Although there is no typical AB/DL fantasy, they often fall within two extremes[6][7]. One extreme involves the fantasy of being an infant or small child; adorable, sexually innocent, and powerless. The infant fantasy might involve diapers, baby clothes, and toys to help define the infant's role. In the end, the infant might drift off to sleep in a soft crib. The other extreme is the erotic lover. The lover fantasy would focus on diapers as fetish items, sexually charged objects.

Did anyone else notice the part about "drifting off to sleep in a soft crib?" Do they make adult sized "soft cribs?" If so, could someone tell me where to get one? My sister and I found my brother-in-law in my nephews crib just hanging out one morning. No Joke! So if they are available, I'm sure they would invest in the larger model for him!
