Never thought about it. But considering that I spend much of my weekends living as a woman, I don't think I'm in any fair position to criticise.

I wonder. I think it would be interesting to meet an infintalist female. I would try it out for her. It sounds pretty neat actually. So I guess I dont think its wrong. ^^; wierd thing is Im a guy with motherly instinct. sweatdrop

*claims a cookie* Hmm..I'll add my input now. ^_^ I just find it really comforting in ways. For me also, sucking on a pacifier brings a sense of security and satisfaction. I just bought myself one after having my last one thrown away over a year or so ago, and the other night I slept better and longer than I normally would. Also getting attention and being fussed over a little is great, it makes you feel like you're loved no matter what age you are. For me, I don't quite find the roleplaying part of it appealing much, nor do I find the diapers appealing. I love to cuddle with my close friends, I enjoy being close to them. The bottle is just comforting in a way, not sure as to how to explain it. I don't find strollers or anything of the sort interesting, but some of the toys are quite fun to mess with. One that never gets old is a jack in the box. <3 I don't quite care for the bright coloring of clothes, but some of the t.v programs are awesome, such as Dragon Tales, which never gets old to me. ^^

Well, there ya go Danny. ^^ My little input, I don't think I'm missing anything, I think I covered about everything. lol.

Congratulations on finally being able to open up to the world, honey, Good girl! ^_^

It's good to know that you feel happier now that you have free'd your true self, and it's real good to know that I can smile upon you as yet another beautiful sweet and cute infantilist.

Thankies, it's still extremly difficult to admit it to people. I fear being teased more than I am already for other reasons. I think that the worse thing someone could do to an infantilist is to not taunt them about being one, but to play with their emotions. I'm just going to try and give a little advice for those who don't want to or who don't know how to admit it to others. Yeah it's not easy at first, you're nervous and anxious to what their reactions would be.Think of it this way though: If they stop being your friend just because you are who you are, then no matter how much you may have thought they were a true friend: they weren't. A true friend doesn't care about your prefrences, so if they make snide remarks about you or directly towards you, don't let it get to ya. Brush it off and sit them down to talk. If it's an online friend, tell them that you need to talk and then ask them why they feel the need to tease you because of who you are. Ask what they don't understand, and try to fill in as many gaps as possible. Maybe they tease you about it because they don't understand? Afterall, you have to remember they're human, and natural reactions to unknown topics are fear and the such. Maybe they're acting out of fear. All this applies to telling anyone, whether it be a friend, parent or even a sibling. I'd follow this advice myself, if I wasn't such a coward. Hope that helps some, anyone who wants to talk about any of this is welcome to PM me, I'm here to help even if I'm new to explaining about it all.

(Oh yeah, ^^; one little request if you do PM me, try to cutback on cursing and chatspeak, I'll accept flames and I'll read them. Just like I'll read and accept questions or comments. ^_^ Hope I'm of some help Danneh! ^_^ ))

... OK, I am a friend of xxsila-chanxx... I must say that since I have stopped fueling my need to cuddle with my teddy, my life has turned to hell... Sila is and always be one of my closest friends, and when she informed me of her infantilist nature, I did not laugh because I am somewhat of one also. I find comfort in chewing/sucking things, and in cuddling and clinging to certain people and things. I seem very adult in nature because I don't like to show my childish qualities... It's terrible to do this but I cannot help it... I am 15 years old... I am also bi, but I am not sure how that effects the topic at all...

I'm not attacking you personally.

But infantilism is ... no, just no.
Society cannot function with a bunch of infantile adults relying on securities of the past.
We have to mature and thrive as a society and any infantile that's over age is just a drain.

I don't believe you understand what infantilism is then.

It's a regression stage we can easily put ourselves into BY CHOICE, I am ontop of being infantilist, a mature person who can handle life as it is put before me....Having infantile securities as a past time and part of me just helps me get through life with a smile instead of a sulk. ^_^

I'm afraid I only skim-read your post (sorry, far too tired to concentrate on it fully), but, although I don't like infantilism, I agree with you.

There's been a couple of threads recently based around fetishes- both 'general' fetishes and specific ones, and for the umpteenth time, I'll say that, so long as nobody's exploited or hurt, you can do whatever the hell you want. I might not approve, I might think it's odd, but I can't really judge you based on what you get up to in your own free time.

Alot of people I know who are into 'weird' things are actually good people. They can accept that their fetish is out there, and in fact, most can even take the mockery that comes with it (to an extent of course. Everyone has their limits).

Agreed...you state that your psychologists say there is no mental illness in you. As long as you aren't hurting yourself, family, or friends, then it's probably just a harmless pastime, though not one that I, myself, would engage in.

Now it's time for my nap! 3nodding

Haha! Thank you very much for your kind post.

And in my opinion, it's probably just me, but I saw irony in your last few lines. ^_^

Made me giggle. Thanks!

You're welcome...glad to be of service! 3nodding

^_^ Nice to see you are still with us in the thread, care to give any input on why you went to nap?

Just curious, mind.

And any other issues you'd like to raise?

I think it's a little wierd. Probably because I've never seen anyone else who was. I do not think it is the same as being a *****.
It seems a little odd to me to want to wear a diaper. >.>

It is odd, I guess it's hard to look at it being an outsider, but when you take it into consideration, remember being fussed over when you were changed and the soft feeling of how it felt between your legs?

Yep. We infantilists do, and it's one of the reasons we like it -> fuss and attention and a sense of security, we can't ask for anything more.

Thanks for your input.

Danny. <3

while i haven't considered infantilism, i can kind of see why some people might want to wear a diaper. it could actually be a lot more comfortable than the elastic and spandex and cotton-poly blends some of us wear now. while i can't even imagine why i'd want to use one instead of a tiolet, i could see a nice diaper being comfy.

That's quite right, that's definately a very good method to approach it from, comfort is an issue amongst the majority of infantilists, so something comfortable is a definate '+' random stat to happiness and a +10 in 'Cosy' gain. ^_^

To be honest, I like watching little kid's shows and I like sucking pacifiers. I'm not an Infantilist though; pacifiers help me salivate better and little kid's shows are just too much fun. 3nodding

Sounds like infantilist tendancies to me, denial is oft' common in infantilists as at first they feel it may be wrong, I hope you find yourself, be it as an infantilist in denial, or a 'normal' person with tendancies which need to be met.

Denial is a river in Egypt.

I just like to salivate... like a dog with a bright green tennis ball in his mouth.

For a second, I actually had the urge to call it odd, but then I thought about it and I really can't say ANYTHING.

Perhaps you have an oral fixation? Nothing wrong or different about that, it's just phrased in a different manner. ^_^

Dressing up as a woman? Nothing wrong with that. Infact, there is a side to infantilism that is called being 'Sissy babied', which is where the 'baby' dresses up in clothes from the opposite sex.

So hey, don't worry about it, I have friends who are some of the 'oddest' arround, and for being such, I just hold them even closer to my heart as they don't deny themselves...Well...Themselves!

Being YOU is the most important thing in this world.

Don't s'pose you want a little boy to father over?

I'm up for text based RP if you are.

And trust me, infantilist females are really cute and playful, just like infantilist males.

You're in a winning situation no matter which sex of an infantilist you meet.

I'm very proud of you recently, hun, I know you've told so many many people, and I know myself first hand how hard it is to tell others, but... To further Sila's point...

After you have got it out to the first person...It gets easier and easier to friends.

I honestly don't think telling family can EVER be easy unless you are ungodly close to your family anyways...In which case, you are probably getting the attention you want anyways and need not ask for it like us infantilists.

Bless yah, lil' angel.

I perfectly understand that it's your choice.
What I'm saying is that an infantilist should find healthier outlets to express themselves, instead of acting like a child. heart

These are my opinions.
Wearing a daiper is foolish. You have a bladder; you can control it.
Little things like that.

I can see cuddling a plush or being held by your mother or father in a time of distress.

But sucking on a pacifier and other extreme versions are just silly.
And a bit disturbing.
You (people in general) have matured into an adult. They can protect themselves better than children can.
