ABDL Lifestyle Intro

"Sometimes a lonely one, sometimes a guilty pleasure but, here is always place for acceptance and self expression!" From the binge purge cycle - to the phycological shame of indulging & enjoying the AB/DL lifestyle, here you will find resources, pleasures and an introduction to this adorable community of unique individuals.

Terminology: AB/DL - Adult Baby / Diaper Lover . DDLG - Daddy Dom Little Girl. CGL - Caregiver Little. General Understanding: To understand the "Adult Baby" aspect of the AB/DL Community and it's extensions we have to talk about a concept called "Age play" this is when an adult individual(s) feels comfortable or enjoys expressing themself or "regressing" to an often much younger or older age separate from their real, biological age. An individual who regresses to a younger age is often but not always referred to as a little & some one who takes on the roll of caregiver or an older age is often referred to as a big, mommy, daddy ect. The AB/DL community is often confused with pedophilia when seen out of context; this is NOT the case however this has also shrouded the community in secrecy until very recently when music, media and google brought the community into public sight. Note: It is important to note that age play and, regression are often non-sexual and may be a purely psychological form of relaxation. Littles, Middles & Babies: Littles, middles and babies participate in a form of age-play called regression "Babies" are usually regressed to the age of 0-2, where "Littles" regress to an age of 2-7 and middles regress to the ages of 7-14. These are typically submissive roles within a CG/L relationship however this is NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, some people who regress do not consider little space (a catch all term for psychological regression) sexual or fetish related, they may simply enjoy being little. Caregivers: Caregivers, Mommy's, Daddies and "Bigs" share the age play relationship however in contrast to littles, middles and, babies they fulfill the role of dominate often setting rules, boundaries and enforcing punishments. T DD/LG & MD/LB Age play, alongside the traditional Dom/Sub BDSM "power exchange" relationship are considered a Caregiver/Little relationship. DDLG is Daddy Dom and Little Girl where MDLB is the relationship of a Mommy Dom and Little Boy so on with MD/LG, DD/LB ect. Diaper Lovers: Diaper lovers are not necessarily involved in the adult baby, age play, regression or bdsm aspect of the community; while their is often crossover in these two communities hense, AB/DL. Many dl's simply enjoy wearing diapers, some for sexual fetish and entirely non sexually. Know You're Not Alone: Their are thousands of AB/DL's in the U.S. and across the world; though it often feels like we are the only one; like we're weirdos who do this in the privacy of our own bedrooms, leaving diapers, pacifiers and power hidden away in a closet, or stashed away under the bed. Many people feel embarrassed and ashamed about their participation in this community and will often hide or keep this entire part of their life secert for friends, family and even romantic partners. The truth is that there is still so much misunderstanding and kink shaming surrounding the ABDL and age play communities many feel insecure and unsafe sharing this side of themself with anyone out of fear of being ostracized or labeled a pedophile; making it doubly hard for members of the community to share this part of themselves in the media or even in public.

Conclusion

There are many terms & aspects of the community we didn't cover in this post but I hope this gives you a basic insight into AB/DL and it's surrounding communities.
