That's progress, right?

And congrats on taking a step to helping yourself. Thank you for believing in me. ^_^

Thanks. Just needed that confidence booster, I guess.

3nodding Don't worry about it. I have difficulty sleeping without my fleece blanket and Chotto (my teddy bear that's about 3/4 my size). Do anything you can to help yourself sleep, insomnia is bad XD

Working on getting the teddybear, too. I kinda left it in Tampa last year, then ended up running from a storm and getting lost. I don't know if it was ever shipped to me or not.

Gah. Wonder what my roommate will think if she sees the teddybear and pacifier. She's always trying to get me to act like a grownup. I mean, hello! It's possible to act mature without acting grown-up, right? Hmph. rolleyes

My boyfriend is the one that gave me my giant teddy bear. So he's fine with it XD Helps I'll be living with him.

Ah, well that's awesome. Danny lives with his parents and his parents don't exactly approve of it...But, they daren't touch my stuff...I can be REALLY moody...And I'm dangerous when I'm moody...VERY dangerous...I'm a loose cannon in a safe place...Basically...It's VERY hard to piss me off, but if you find the right subject matter...I flip out. v_v With SERIOUS consequences.

There's the problem. Not only do I justify it in my mind, but I take no action against it. He's calmed down over the years, but it's still there. And I'll be moving out on my own soon. So there's little I can do.

I suppose you just do your best then...Huh? Just cope with him for now...And once you get a place of your own, you can be all happy and stuff!

Whee! whee Yay for happy and stuff! I'll be a lot more comfortable once I get out of here. Then I'll actually be held and some of my paranoia will go away.

And you can deal with your infantile tendancies and experiment a little more. ^_^
What have you actually tried so far?

Not much. Right now I'm concentrating more on my transgenderism because it's a more direct issue for me.

You too, huh? That kinda sucks... it's obviously something I wouldn't be telling the therapist about, that's for sure. razz

Almost as bad as being multiple or something in their eyes, honestly... "Oh, you're an infantilist, you can't be sane or mature enough to undertake this..."

Something like that, I guess.

Therapists rarely say it's bad, psychologists and psychiatrists say it's a healthy way of relieving stress. ^_^

How old is she? Does she or you have the funds to move in with each other at some point in the future?

She's 23.

We're working two jobs at the moment to get there for September or so. We've got a couple of transition-related expenses to get out of the way first.

Hey, priorities matter. Best of luck to the both of you in your journeys. I hope everything goes well. How far are you into it?

I am a ******, but I am attracted to girls from the ages of 8-30, usually. But I have found some incredibly sexy 6 year olds. I'm neither for nor against infantilism, but I would never be associated with such a phrase as "raping babies".

We're 2 1/2 years in. Fulltime, hormones. That's pretty much it at the moment. Next step's the namechange.

Very unusual, but well stated. I would have no issue with it unless it actually involved a juvenile, other than yourself, and since it doesn't, merely adults, I think you are fine, just rather unique in your personal desires.

Actually...There are quite a few juveniles who take part in it...Because, if you remember...It's not JUST a fetish...It can be a security thing too...

Unique? You'd be surprised. ^_^

After all, it's not like we seek to harm others or ourselves, or pose any sort of threat. So why would it be bad? No cap on mental maturity either.

In my case, our girlfriend is ok with it as well, but she's across the ocean.

Does she know you're an infantilist too?

So it's working well for you? That's good. I didn't even figure any of it out until about a year ago, so I have no idea where life is going to take me.

Wouldn't embracing it show that you're more mature instead of just assuming you're messed up? That's how I think about it. Hey, I got my kinks from a lack of love from my parents. I'll admit that. And if the therapist is actually worth your money, they'll understand that.

Embracing it was the option I took and I don't regret it in the slightest. <3

I noted you were 16. I am aware that it isn't about sex in some instances, actually, in quite a few. It is more of a comfort issue than sexual. I apologize for misstating that.
I was directly addressing the issue, and one that most must be made aware of, that most infantilists are not *****. Most get the two confused, but infantilists like people of their same age for the most part, or am I screwed up?

[error-dot-tar]

Someone should hit me on MSN or AIM sometime, I might have to go soon.

Either way...As long as you're happy, just follow your heart and work for your dreams.

Very true. Infantilists have the same sorts of relationships as anyone else, regarding age and orientation.

I never saw Infantilism as any form of *****. There might be acceptions to this, but most times when I've seen things on this form of fetish, it always involves adults.
As long as no ones getting hurt, it doesn't bother me.

That's because the younger generation of infantilists rarely have anyone or thing to speak up for them...I'm here to bridge the gap.
