if a student in school has harmful behavior , teachers would use positive reinforcement to change the behavior
If a student worked on using the bathroon at school and becames sucessful at it then they would be re-train the student because regression had occured and they had been successful before


Umm, I can't make that much of this. But it's not a schools job to toilet train an individual...Kindergarten, perhaps, but a school? Definately not.


they would in a perschool or in special education


That depends, a school has to have certificates for that sort of thing.

well most preschools work on potty trainin if the had them since before needing it and if old enough to be potty trained the daycares dont except it
and public school will work on potty training because they are not going to have to change diapers in a regular ed class and if they are in special ed the can have that as a goal- to potty train


Actually...ANY school can potty train, it just depends on the health certificates their nursing department has...And some people are permanently urinary or faecely incontinent through natural things like a damaged bladder, schools don't have a choice in changing sometimes...So the parents would have to find a school that doesn't mind.

If it makes someone comfortable to be an infantalist then they should do it. No one should try to change them. Its part of who they are. There isnt anything disgusting about it either. Its perfectly understandable. Most of us have that perfect year where nothing bad happened and would like to go back. Infantalism i suppose is kind of like that except more serious. They enact that comfort age and this is also understandable. It makes them happy and everyone wants to be happy. Ive never considered it but a few of my friends have tried/ are infantalists and I find it perfectly ok.


How do you feel you may have reacted to this i you hadn't experienced it first hand?

And yes...That perfect year. <3 Hehe, you swine! You made me cry. XD!

Many people who reply to this sort of post with the ever-popular EW OMG THAT'S WRONG.


We actually haven't gotten too many of those. It's all in the way it's presented... focusing on the lifestyle of infantilism promotes better understanding and less outright judgement.
That's not it; it's because it's ED. I'm sure there are PLENTY of homophobes, racists, anti-infantilists etc. on ED; you expect me to believe there is an overwhelming majority against homosexuals in American/Canadian society, an overwhelming majority of racists in America... and yet virtually NONEXISTANT on ED?

No, people just know that if they share they're opinion, they'll be flamed out of their a** for it. It's the same reason you rarely see any intelligent prolifers in the abortion threads; the only people who respond to homosexual threads, racism threads, etc. are the ones who "tipe lyk dis" - the ones with at least remotely meaningful debate on the subject just keep their mouths shut.


Flamed out of their a**? Nope. Not here. ^_^ I'm rarely hostile in the slightest. Those with decent conversation AGAINST infantilism have posted several times...And have even remained to discuss it. Perhaps look back through the pages and decide for yourself if your theory about posters is flawed?

Thanks for your time!

Before reading this thread, I had never heard of Infantilism. Having read a considerable amount of the first post, it seems far off from ******. Because I've never heard of it, I've never thought about it, and I don't know anyone who has an interest in it either.

From what I did read, it seems more a way to feel free, no problems or worries on your back, and no responsibilities during the time you are doing whatever actitvities you enjoy in the matter. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, this is how I'm seeing it. But, though never hearing about it before, I'm not against it in the slightest. It sounds like something interesting actually. I'll have to look further into it, though it's not something I would do personally. I would though, at first, if I were to meet someone who was into Infantilism, find it rather daunting or think they're a bit weird, but of course, don't most people have that feeling when it's something new to them, whether doing it themselves or seeing another doing it?

As long as it's not breaking any laws, it's fine by me smile


That seems correct enough to me. But it's not always a way to escape, sometimes, it's just a way to relax...Most infantilists allow themselves to regress when they have some time to themselves or are immensely bored as to grope up a little fun and playfullness for themselves.

Part of it IS escape, but it's not the main aim. The main aim, in my opinion is self settlement and innocence.

in america's special education system yes


Cool. I suppose America has a better Special Ed system than UK...

You'd be looking at paying for a special school to do that, I imagine.

You’re very strict with your rules here. I always have to make sure I don’t wander in here when im drunk, I get unfriendly responses to my posts if I do sad ... Hehe anyways.

Firstly do you feel infantilism is just role-play or a way of life? (If someone has already said something about this for the love of god just pm me about it and ill remove my post) neutral

Second, have you noticed the results to your poll look like a robot p***s?


Oh Gods...Andy...I LOL at you sometimes. Always at parties. Lucky b*****d. >_<

Infantilism to me? It's both...I can live with out it but I prefer it to be there...Much like clothes! Roleplay would be having a partner with you...Because otherwise, who is there to call it roleplay if nobody sees?

I suppose that's much like. "If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is arround, is there a sound?"

Robot p***s? I suppose it kinda does. >_<!!!

Well, as an Infantilist it's really more of a way of life I guess. It can be a roleplaying thing but it's far more emotional than that and extends outside of sexual things. It's much more related to comfort and love then sexuality, though sex is a part of it. It's t sort of hard to explain, you know?


Infantilism can be different manners to different people, I know a few people who like it just for the sexual side and a large ammount of people whom like it for the comfort and emotional side. There are also a few people I know who just like the idea of being a young innocent child.

As with normal life, people adapt infantilism to them so it meets them in a manner they like and can handle safely.

I don't know how I feel about Infantilists...it seems a little strange to me, but if it's not hurting anyone than to each's own. I'm a little disturbed when you say some are turned on by a dirty diaper though... sad


Mmm, though for the emotional side of infantilism, there is little-to-no influence on a dirty diaper...It's usually just a little part of the process...

Alot of infantilists state that "A partner changing a diaper is a strong show of love." And...As I'm still single, I suppose you'd have to do something to really need to be changed, so, I'm assuming here...But I guess that infantilists whom enjoy it, enjoy it for their own reasons. Yes, I've tried both...Wetting isn't bad at all, just a really nice warm sensation...

Messing? That wasn't good at all, but it didn't make me go 'Ew' or anything.

I expect flames at this one post in general, because I've strayed from the innocence and moved more towards the sexual side...But hey, if it educates somebody, it's more than worth a few insults.

Also, just as a random question, I haven't been to Gaia in a long time and I noticed an avatar wearing what looked very similar to a diaper. Do they have those now or what?


I don't think so...No...But that sure would be nice.

Perhaps you saw it on a petition?

People are turned on by different sensations. What might be a nasty or unpleasant sensation to one person might be very pleasurable or fun to another.

Tell me, don't a lot of little kids like playing in the mud? Why is that?

I know it's a bad (and gross) example, but that's the closest explanation for why we enjoy it that I can think of. However, it's really not the focus of Infantilism, for me. I do things like that very rarely because my main reason for being an Infantilist is to feel loved and comforted.


Of course. Everyone is turned on by different things. Some enjoy pain, some don't. But as the cute Rose says, for the majority of us, the emphasis is on love and comfort and not the wearing or using of diapers.

Yeah...thinking about it now I can almost understand wanting to be just taken care of. Life gets waay too complicated sometimes. We all think back to when we were little kids and are like, awww, that was so fun! But like I said before, I do not and will never understand being turned on by a dirty diaper...but I suppose there are many "normal" people who are turned on by wierd things as well.


For us...Every day is "Awww, that was so fun!" So, if you can take that into speculation, perhaps you can see even further why we are who we are?

As for the diaper thing...I suppose it's like drugs...It's 'wrong' to some, but people still do it...Others are all for it.

Well, that's okay if you don't understand the diaper thing. A lot of people are grossed out by it, and we're used to that.

At its heart, Infantilism is about comfort. Even if it's highly sexual it still goes back to something that we all need. That need is especially pronounced when you never got that love and affection from your own parents or those who took care of you (as was the case with me). You need an outlet, as an adult, to cope with that. This is just the best way for me.

Well, the best way besides talking to God and feeling his presence around me. That always makes me feel loved. But I'm just a very spiritual person so yeah. Everyone deals with things in their own way.


The diaper thing is the only thing really known about infantilism...Come on...Everyone has seen some sort of dodgy picture of an old guy in a diaper...So I suppose everyone takes it a little far.

You're making a lot of very broad assumptions here. Nobody who has come into this thread with an opposing position on the subject ever got flamed for it. Holes may have been punched in their logic, but they personally never came under any kind of attack.

The idea that those with meaningful debate don't discuss it is flawed. If they don't make themselves known, who are you to say they even exist? Do you disagree that if the subject was presented differently, focusing on the more offensive, pornographic side of infantilism rather than the emotional, lifestyle side, the responses we would recieve would be more negative?


I imagine, if I presented it differently, there would be no discussion past the flamers. It would be difficult to make any valid conversation or points.
Infantilism rarely involves sex, so approaching it from such a manner would not be only morally incorrect, but insultive to the infantilist community.

Sometimes it seems freaky... I myself would NEVER do it, though I've really no place to judge people who do. As you said, it's a form of comfort. When it goes too far, then I begin to raise my eyebrows. Like the dirty daiper thing. ^^;

Your case just sounds plain adorable though, if I may say. xD -hands you a cookie-
',

I suppose it can sometimes be rather scary, different, and even 'freaky', but for most of us, it's all about innocence and self-settlement...

Come on...Everyone loves SOMETHING cute!

*reads your links*
sounds like some sort of device your mind uses to correct a problem, mew... although that could just be human overthinking on that part
It could just be you like to be cleaned , chew on things, and have your innocence taken away every day...then sleep *wishes he had time for naps*
sounds like a good deal

anywho, using that to fill a gap, perhaps?
if someone were to be mentaly scarred in a time period, then seeing it again the right way might help the person,

or if they missed it, mew..
can't really be 99% sure

but it just sounds like something other people should stay out of as long as it doesn't effect them


It depends on the infantilist on whether it is a defence mechanism or not. It's known that infantilists come from every possibile background, loved, unloved, rich, poor, every background possible. For some it is defence, for others, like me, it's choice.
