3) Paraphilic Infantilism
Infantilists are those who derive pleasure and stimulation from dressing or acting like babies, which may involve wearing diapers or baby clothing, drinking from a bottle, crawling on the floor, being spanked, or similar behaviors. Online communities engaged in this paraphilia are divided into the adult babies (ABs), who enjoy the role-playing aspect, and diaper lovers (DLs). They’re collectively known as the ABDL community.The Fourth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) classified this fetish with masochism, but if elements of humiliation or suffering are not present, then it doesn’t exactly meet the criteria. It has been linked to a range of other paraphilias (odd s3xual desires), including s3xual transvestism (in this case, dressing as a baby of the opposite s3x), urophilia and coprophilia (s3xual pleasure from urinating or defecating into diapers), and lactophilia (breast-feeding).
There is little to no correlation between infantilism and paraphilia, as adult babies aren’t attracted to children; they just want to be children.There is no general consensus on what causes the development of the actual infantilism fetish, but it is believed to be linked with maladaptive learning and faulty imprinting in childhood as well as erotic targeting errors. However, for some, the s3xual element is played down, with a greater emphasis on the nurturing and attention-seeking side of pretending to be a baby. A recent study has suggested that the paraphilia develops at around age 12 in women and age 17 in men. While various behaviors were present in both genders, women tended to prefer role-playing elements such as playing with baby toys or s3xual or nons3xual play with a “daddy” figure, while men were more likely to use diapers. While there was a tendency for women with the fetish to have suffered childhood abuse (though not always), this was rare in male adult babies.One of the reasons why so little is known about paraphilic infantilism is that many practitioners feel it does not cause them any functional distress or impair them in their everyday lives. This would mean that for most people, it would not be classified as a paraphilic disorder.
