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

Just come out about it and tell her, you'll feel better for it. ^_^

Make sure she understands it's not always connected to sex though ^^;;; Otherwise you might get a very negative reaction.

Infantilism is a beautiful thing indeed, it can meet both those who want pleasure and those who want security, but this gives it dual meanings, a double edged sword of which the public must be informed of.

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.

Then perhaps you should get them out of the way as soon as possible? Never good to have something holding people apart?

She already knows. It didn't really help matters.

If anything...What DID it do to matters?

Perhaps explain it to her? If she smokes...Use that as an example...She'll do it when she's stressed...You just have your own ways when you're stressed, yes?

Working on it. But not this second - I think the pacifier's finally doing its job. Time for sleepies.

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?

As long as their is love, how far in doesn't really matter. ^_^

Good on them for being who they want to be.

Transitions take a good amount of time no matter the effort you put behind it. I've only met one person who's been able to transition to the point of surgery in less than 2 years.

The difference is that it involves the mental stability and comfort with oneself much more than infantilism does. So it has a bit of a priority. One that is difficult to hurry, and not always a good idea.

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".

Well, wow, I'm proud of you for just coming out about it so easily, and don't worry, I understand your situation...I hope you've never done anything to children...But I can't deny you your fantasies...It's understandable.

I know a few self confessing ***** yea, I see their point of view too.

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

Good luck with it all! Hope it all runs smoothly! And I'm still proud of you for getting a paci, hope it's helping! ^_^

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. ^_^

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.

That's VERY true, it's often said that infantilists are more mature than normal people because when we AREN'T being infantile, we have to be cautious and careful as to cover up how we feel and what we want to do, so focussing on being mature is something we need to do.

Well, I'm gonna go fishing.

If anyone feels like talking, I'm on MSN.

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.

Opening up about being infantilist has changed my life for the better, sure, I may be seen as odd, but I'm twenty times happier nowwa days.

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. ^_^

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?

Actually...The infantilist community, like all normal people, like people of varying ages, It would be unfair to generalise and state that one group of people like all of a certain age group.

[Teerwenn]

i've never actually thought of infantilism.. how interesting...

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

Pass your MSN onto me via a PM and I'll add you <3
