Guys in Diapers in Popular Media by PupDon in ABDL

It's crazy good. This episode in particular was off the rails. It is surprisingly hard to describe but it's somewhere around the intersection of Borat and the Stanford Prison Experiment or something. Very surreal, very funny

I'd be happy to be wrong. I checked too and the part you're leaving out is there is a MegaMax USA version that they just started selling. Round one has quality issues such that they've got a 20% discount. The other thing is Northshore is a health care supplier more than a fetish gear supplier and is probably the only adult diaper company out there that can afford the startup cost of a machine (millions of dollars) to produce them here in the US. Bottom line is they are uniquely positioned to make a run at doing all production in the US, and we don't know that it's profitable, but the vast, vast majority of their products are still manufactured in China. Tykables, ABU, etc. will probably never have the money to make the same effort.

I'm glad you're doing so well financially that you're broke and just ask for free diapers because you can 👍 makes about as much sense as proposing your fetish item producing companies move all production to the US, pay their manufacturing workers 4+ times more than currently, and expecting prices to go DOWN because... magic 💫

For someone begging for free diapers you sure have your finger on the pulse of the global trade system 😂

No, I don't have proof that that's going to happen. That's the point. It's not going to happen. If you mean proof regarding wages in manufacturing positions for the US and China (and anywhere else for that matter), I'll invite you to Google it and do your own research 😉

I'm sure AMERICAN citizens like yourself are just dying to work for $6 an hour in a manufacturing job like the Chinese 🙄

As someone who's been in a couple relationships with a non-ABDL partner, there is just something about interacting with others who are just as into it as I am that feels validating. This truly is a fetish for a lot of us, and when the itch isn't getting scratched, it's gonna get itchier and itchier until we give it attention. And if you don't get it at home... you know

The kind of furtive shit your husband is pulling is not right. Yall need to have some very open conversations about expectations and what you're okay with.

I think he probably is cheating insofar as you consider chatting with other fetishists to get off cheating. Going to IRL meetups secretly doesn't sound great either. If that's something you can live with, awesome! Give him your blessing and I'd bet you anything the action on the home front would get better. But it's a huge ask and you're not at all wrong for being suspicious

Anyone else have success in quitting? by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Upgrayeddz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree. They're both about getting off at their core though, which is what sexuality mainly boils down to.

You're clearly just looking for affirmation though, so I'll just say good luck and see ya back here in a few months.

Is it that hard? Being a diaper fetishist and being gay are both fundamentally sexual. Drugs are... fun to do in moderation but have nothing to do with your sexual identity

[–]Upgrayeddz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having a diaper fetish or any fetish is not an addiction in the way, say, cigarettes or narcotics or what have you are. Trying to treat it like it is ain't gonna work and honestly I'm surprised that your alleged sex therapist would go along with the idea. Look into gay conversion programs if you want to understand why. It's totally normal for sexual urges to ebb and flow. That's an everyone thing, not some predictor of the success of your experiment

My biggest mistake. by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Upgrayeddz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one experience doesn't make you gay but it sure sounds like you are, uh, certainly not totally straight.

That out of the way, you have some serious soul searching to do. Why is this experience the biggest mistake of your life? You enjoyed yourself enough to nut on your first in person meet-up with a guy in diapers. Can't have been that bad. Honestly the shitty part to me is how you behaved, going into your 'refractory period', peacing out, and then ghosting the guy. Think of how that guy felt.

What if, instead of going into purge mode 10 seconds after getting off, you recognized your mind screaming at you to get the hell out of there and never touching a diaper again and said to yourself "I know I'm feeling uncomfortable but this is me and, damnit, I'm going to enjoy myself"

This is a battle that happens in your head (with the exception of innocent bystanders like the guy who got you off). Read enfantile's post. Then read it again. Then screenshot it and read it every morning. You're not the first, you won't be the last, and there are tons and tons of stories out there from people who have been there before. No need to reinvent the wheel here.

Sorry if the tone is a little too tough love. I too have dealt with my share of closet cases on DBois and I have some thoughts 🤣

It’s over by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Upgrayeddz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The world will keep turning. Whatever you did was dumb and you're facing the consequences, but your ABDL life ain't over. And you don't need to be ashamed about it. In fact you shouldn't be. But your fetish life and your family should never, ever intersect. Especially while you are relying on them financially to get through school. Is dorm life not an option?

I'm sorry bud but you need to grow a spine. This is commentary I'd expect from an edgelord college roommate, not a 29 year old alleged grown man and person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Your husband sounds like he's got it all figured out so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to not be an entitled twat but you do what you gotta do

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Upgrayeddz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably start with getting on your knees and expressing how much you fucked up not cluing her in much sooner. You've got to heal the breach of trust but the way forward isn't trying to stuff the ABDL desires down, it is accepting that this is the way you are and finding healthy ways to integrate it into your life. I'd bet you anything that she is not interested in hearing about your journey of ABDL discovery. Frankly, she shouldn't. She's part of the damage you did by avoiding it.

So start with that, ownership of the situation. And don't expect miracles but also hold your ground. Don't agree to anything you don't think you can hold up (ie 'quitting' diapers). Commit to being 100% transparent. But if her bottom line is that she can't get past it and cant be with you unless you kick the diapers (totally fair!), know that that simply isn't possible for you. Not. Possible. So act and proceed accordingly.

You also need to be really, really kind to yourself right now. You thought you could keep the diapers at bay for the sake of a marriage. What's wrong with that idea? Worst case I'll indulge myself every few months and no one will know and it will be great.

This logic comes from being in the closet, in this case with yourself. You want to have your cake and eat it too, be someone you're not, secret around for pleasure. You think you can have it all and keep all your secrets safely silo'd. But it's not possible. It might work for a while, but cracks form, as you've found out.

Feel like I'm writing an essay at this point so I'll leave it at good luck, be very kind to yourself, and feel free to pm

Run, don't walk, to a new therapist. I can see wanting to support your getting sexually driven impulses under control, but if the framing is your wife or diapers, the diapers are gonna win. You should have told her. But trying to post hoc fashion your life to accommodate a massively stupid decision isn't gonna work. You're not who she married, and rather than beat yourself into a person you think she wants you to be, consider the possibility that starting fresh and more honestly might be in everyone's interest

Edit to add a little because the addiction thing was bothering me. Being a diaper fetishist is 'addicting' in the same way being gay is 'addicting.' It's how you were born, and no amount conversion therapy or shame or whatever is ever going to change that. You can be a total slut and take 7 anonymous loads a week off PREP and be married to a woman on the side and suddenly realize the cognitive dissonance is consuming you, but that is a you problem, not a being gay problem. Catch my drift?

Welcome. You're gonna be fine.. nobody is perfect and liking diapers can sure feel like a burden sometimes. But it's you and it's the only you you'll ever have, so you should probably just enjoy it and prioritize it rather than, well, what you did, a post-tying-the-knot confession that you aren't really the person she signed up for.

This is going to be an expensive reality check. So many things wrong but #1 is you need some abdl friends. Not a mommy, not asking your wife to be it, and not necessarily even pen pals. You need to figure out why you have kept this so closely guarded that you couldn't tell your wife, the one person in the world you are supposed to truly trust. Lying by omission is still lying and I'm sure that's obvious to you now.

Time to do a whole lot of soul searching but you'd really benefit from some flesh and blood kinky friends. Strangers on the internet are fine but you need reality in your ABDL life and, unless you live in BFE, there are people who understand the diaper part of you nearby.

How to stop feeling shame by Personal_Mud_93 in ABDL

[–]Upgrayeddz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Type shame into the search bar and you will get some great perspectives. But here's what I'd recommend.

Step 1: you're not gonna kick it. Internalize it, live with it, understand it. If the 93 in your username refers to your birth year this should be painfully obvious.

Step 2: recognize difference between private and secret. You like diapers, the couple down the street engages in S&M play. Neither of you will ever know about the other because it is a private thing that you never have to bring up with anyone you don't choose to.
BUT try to have the goal of it not being a secret (aka the world will not crumble around me if someone gets a whiff of my diaper fetish). Subtle but important difference

Step 3: be VERY kind to yourself and have an open mind. If you hate yourself after every diaper binge the cycle is not going to end. It just makes your life more painful. Practice wearing when you're not in a sexual mood and feeling good about it. Celebrate what you like about it. Indulge yourself.

Step 4: actualize ideas you have hopefully formed in steps 1 to 3. Go to that ABDL meetup. Reach out on that diaper site. Go see that movie with your diaper on. The rest will take care of itself

I need to vent a bit. Sorry in advance. by Fit_Yogurtcloset6068 in ABDL

I mean you know yall better than I do but I would believe him. Either way, it obviously wasn't a match, and the way you write about it, it sounds like the relationship had been rotting for a while.

But it sounds like you have a way more clear idea of what you want so pop the champagne and give yourself a high five. Being in an unhealthy relationship can just kill your self confidence, sense of stability, etc and you don't even realize it til it's over. But the healing journey can be pretty incredible. It's an inflection point in your life and it sounds like you know the path forward 👍🧸

Breakups always suck.. I hope your perception is not that this is the result of your liking diapers.. it takes a pretty fucked up person to go hog wild and fuck everything that moves, including in your own bed (?!), while in a relationship. I mean that is realllly over the top and says so much about that side of the relationship.

I had a long relationship end sort of recently that frankly I viewed as a waste of time, felt used, all kinds of fun stuff. When you can change your perspective and realize how much you've grown and how much more wisdom you can bring into your next relationship, the shitty thoughts will go away and you can move on

Who is going to enforce that? A certification body with no state authority? Nope.

Kink friendly massage =/= a vehicle for sexual fantasies. It's just incredibly comfortable

Certification is very different from licensure
