Different strokes for different folks. Doesn't matter to me what he does behind closed doors, it isn't harming me any. Just an odd lifestyle. I saw you guys were talking about the show with the guy who was an adult baby. Didn't he work at a law firm or was a CEO or something during the day, then he came home and turned into an adult baby? If I remember right, he said he chose the lifestyle as a way "to be pampered and taken care of" because he wasn't in other aspects of his life. Wouldn't be my way of going about things, but...well, let it be.
Thank you for saying this, it was what I was feeling reading the comments... Yes, it is a fetish... most people have one even if they never admit it, even to themselves. It's a part of the BDSM subculture and it's called Age Play. It's actually very common for both men and women. Usually it's very strong, controlling, powerful people who need some balance in their lives and they become what is often called "littles".. they are the bottoms of a power exchange who have "Daddies" or "Mommies" as their tops... This can be men with women, women with men, men with men and women with women. When you are the one always in charge, it's very relaxing to allow someone to make all of the decisions and choices for you when you are away from work. This is the more extreme of the spectrum, which can include diapers and even breast feeding. I've meet a lot of men who are Daddies and who are into the D/lg (Daddy/little girl) dynamics and have asked me to be a little. I'm not into diapers or bottles or anything from the baby little role playing, but I have been able to feed the fantasies of a few guys who have asked. Just because it's something you wouldn't do, it's not bad, evil or a mental illness. Yes, at one time it was classified as one, but not any longer. In fact, most psychologists now acknowledge that people who engage in BDSM are actually healthier than those who deny their fantasies and sexual desires. They are more open minded, more sex positive, and more accepting of other people's kinks.
In the show I saw....person lived this way permanently. It was not fetish or role playing.....It is his way of life....at all times. ....while he was home, anyway. To each their own....He needs something and someone is there to give him what he needs. We should all be so lucky in that respect.
well a way of life can be a fettish and a fettish a way of life. everyone seems to have one of some kind. those who get off on hating those who's way of life is different then their own, that is a fettish too.
pretty much everyone i know, is into, mostly relatively mild, bdsm role playing of some kind. i'm too paranoid to sub and too lazy to dom, myself, but they're all good people, and i support their rights, and those of everyone, to what harmlessly feels right to them. (and almost invariably, those who most vocally oppose those rights, turn out to have some fetish of some kind of their own, which they unhealthily try to hide and deny, and which by doing so, does warp THEM).
well there you go. just because many american, and other spellings are illogical, doesn't mean i have to be (as long as i'm not preparing a document for publication, something i'm not in the habbit of doing anyway). as long as the meaning remains unambiguous, why NOT spell more logically?
Yep, exactly!!! I feel my life as come alive since I discovered BDSM... I'm basically a control freak in my every day life, but with sex, I am a submissive.
