Um, no. My best friend is gay, thanks.

And actually, I know enough people whom have develloped homosexuality through life as they've gone along. But there is no scientific evidence that homosexuality OR fetishes are nature or nurture. So in actual fact, it's difficult to debate either in either manner.



I didn't say you hate homosexuals, I just said that having a pacifier in your mouth and wearing adult diapers is not like homosexuality. They didn't "develop" it, they probably didn't realize it.

Okay, first: I never said TV is an escape from the world, what I said is, entertainment is made to bring people happiness, what in your world, is there, to make you want entertainment? The only thing I can think of is a lack of happiness.

Secondly: I ask of you to go back and read my first post in a little more detail. I don't mind growing up. I own three businesses and am a college student, planning to persue becoming a network security specialist.
I just have a side of me that likes going back to simple free comforts and whom enjoys infantile things.

And thirdly: Don't worry about the definition, it can easily be misconstrued due to the many different types of infantilism, I know where you were coming from on the point you attempted to raise. Thanks.

Fourth: Please tell me these good things that come out of not having some infantile comforts. Because it's more than likely that I already have them. I can easily switch myself between mindsets whenever I like, I have as much control over myself as any normal person does.



1)Watching TV doesn't necessarily mean you aren't happy. There are just some shows I like and to be entertained by. Once can't be happy all the time, so don't assume that since I turn on the tube that I'm forever in a state of unhappiness.

2)I agree with you if what you say is true. You need to get comfortable and feel joy. That's why I throw on pajamas or sweatpants and play games or go on vacation.

3)I truly thank you for correcting me.

4)"Switching between mindsets" doesn't sound like your true to yourself. I'm me. I have one personality. I act/think the same around one person the same I do to 20. "Switching between mindsets" seems like an escape from reality.....or a mental disorder like skitzophernia.


1) Fair enough, I'll bind with that. But i'm genuinely happy all the time, I don't need TV to help me feel good.

2) Well, those are things I do when I have the time to do them. When I don't have the time to do them, i'll sit and suck a pacifier whilst doing college coursework, that way, I get the simple comforts whilst being able to function with the mindset you feel I should keep at all times.

3) No worries, bro. ^_^

4) Oh, I'm bitterly true to myself, I know who and what I am, what I want to do, what I need to do and how and when I need to do it. I act the same arround people too, I can just either be really really loving and nice, or boring and deep in thought and conversation. Neither side causes a conflict and I wouldn't say it's skitzophrenia, as I have knowledge that both 'sides' of me exist and have full control over both 'sides' and neither side has any major influential impact over my social life, education or work life.




1) I want to use this: gonk If you agree, why did you say "I don't need TV to help me feel good." Thats what I clearly stated I don't use it for.

2)Agreed.


3)Nothing much to say.

4)You don't need the "sides" controlling each other, you don't have that Identity disorder (seen in the movie Identity, I forget what it is called). But admitting you have sides is a little strange.



1) Entertainment is to make you feel good...Thats what you said you use it for.

2) Closed.

3) Closed.

4) They don't control each other, I as a concious being control them both in relation to each other. And having sides is strange? Everyone can be angry or sad. I am just mature or immature. Not really all that different.
Everyone acts different when they are angry or sad and thinks different in either mindset, as do I when i'm mature or immature.

Sexuality and fetish can go hand in hand, for some males, those with a fetish for a**l penetration, they may turn homosexual to meet their desires.

For infantilists, they may find they like pacifiers, so they meet their desires by adpating to them, simple really, it can be EITHER nature or nuture or even a combination of both, it's impossible to argue it.

Meh ... I have no problem with it. If it makes them happy, good on you! I guess it's kinda cute.


Awesome. An open mind is a definate way to happiness. ^_^


Well, I have an interest in fetishes and sexuality in general, so I have read a lot about Infantilism. It's not shocking at all. (In my opinion, more people should have an open mind, but again, I can understand them being "freaked out" about it ...)


Being 'freaked out' is understandable, it's a natural reaction I suppose, but immediately classing something as immoral or incorrect is something I disagree with.


Oh, I agree completly.


Good good, glad to have that cleared up.

Your example is not homosexuality. I'm talking about truly loving/being attracted one's own gender, not having sex with one's own gender to satisfy sexual needs. Anyone can have sex with any gender and have a climax, doesn't mean you truly love that gender.
i never heard of infantilism until i ventured into this topic, so thankyou for educating me.

reading the first post, i can see nothing that is any way 'disturbing' or 'freaky' about infantilism, it seems to me like a perfectly, well not normal, but harmless and acceptable fetish/lifestyle.
it sounds cute to me.
i hope you manage to find a mummy and can carry on with your lifestyle choice without too many narrow-minded people being.. well.. narrow-minded.

I personally think that infantilism blocks forms of emotional growth that hinders a persons ability to act correctly in a social manner.
making it wrong.


Incorrect, I can handle completely fine in a social environment, I have MANY friends, all whom are open minded and don't care, they admit it's weird but also see that I don't really pull them into it or act different just because of who I am.

That may be the case in those who may take it a little far when they believe that they themselves are ACTUALLY infants or babies...But otherwise, no, I dismiss that all together.
how do you act around strangers?


Round strangers? In my own way I suppose. I'm very friendly and try to strike up conversation on likes and interests.

I usually start with the line "Linux or Windows?" ^_^
so this might be out of the blue, or a far stretch, but....
you have great control over switching from mindset to mindset. I dont think this is something that really leaves your home and friends setting. you stated you where iffy on the diapers. more iffy on actually using them.

for your case. you either have a very light version of infantilism, I see it more of you just having preferences. a sippy cup over a normal one, etc etc.


No, I wouldn't say that is correct, I'm quite into infantilism, just due to my age, I can't go as far as I would perhaps like to.

For my birthday, I plan to buy custom made pyjamas to meet my comfort requirements. ^_^

I've heard of this before... somewhere... I have nothing against it I just think it's kinda weird.


That's understandable, even I think it's weird and 'out there' sometimes because it really is weird, and I can't deny it being weird.

But it gives me comfort, so I just dismiss societies ideas of 'normal' for my own enjoyment and pleasure.
That's very understandable. I do the same thing when it comes to smoking. It makes me feel good so I dismiss societies dislike for that and do it anyway. Who cares if what makes you feel good isn't "normal"? If you like it, and it doesn't hurt anyone else, then do it. 3nodding


I personally hate smoking...But I can't deny it of you or that would be hypocritical, if you enjoy it, what can I say but, do it?
Yes it would be hypocritical of you, and it would be of me if I said what you like to do is wrong. So neither one of us are hypocrites. YAY!! xd


Well that is definately a good thing. ^_^

Then define the meaning of 'entertain' and what it is supposed to do upon the human body.

True, it comforts/makes you happy, but from your posts, you assume that I am a sad/miserable person who turns on the TV for comfort from the outside world and to manufature happiness. stare

Looking for a directly motherly woman is just the same as looking for a male who will love a male in the same manner. Fetishism and Sexuality are the same as it all comes down to love and compatability in the long run.

I don't assume your NOT happy, I don't assume anything. I'm just saying people use TV to make themselves happy, I'm just saying, if you didn't have TV arround when you don't have your family and friends about you, what would you do for happiness?

You are ignorant. You are looking for someone to satisfy your fetish, maybe to even play your immature game. YOU ALREADY HAVE A MOTHER. Homosexuals don't date their gender to satisfy sexual needs, the date their gender because thats who they like.
