Hello everyone, I'm not new here, but I am new to posting. I have some thoughts and questions. Hopefully I can make this potentially long post brief. I've been a DL since my early teen years with my interest in diapers stretching as far back as the age of 7. As I began to sexually mature, I began associating diapers with sexual pleasure. Years of this sexual conditioning has left me utterly turned on by something as silly as diapers. The tragedy is, my "normal" heterosexual desires seemed to be stunted as a result of this whole process. All things being equal, I find myself MUCH more turned on by Diapers than by girls (to be clear, I am heterosexual).
In my 21 years, I have had one serious relationship that lasted two years ending when I was 19. While we never had sex (for different reasons), our physical relationship was quite healthy, at least in the beginning. After seven or eight months, I found myself becoming less easily turned on by her. It became a problem towards the end of our relationship when I was rarely in the mood. For me even now, once I am already turned on, I can easily "finish" by the image of a girl. However, it is virtually impossible for me to masturbate to the image of a girl when starting from nothing. I have to first fantasize about diapers. Here's my theory: when I was with my girlfriend, the excitement of being with someone and sharing intimate space with them replaced my need for that initial sexual boost (in fact, for a good year I had forgotten about diapers altogether). However, once I became overly comfortable and used to sharing that space with someone, it was no longer as exciting and I could not get turned on very easily.
This has destroyed my confidence and left me wondering if I'll ever find a happy relationship and be married one day. I would love to one day have children and a family, but my sexual desires have become a very large hurdle. I've read about masturbatory reconditioning and it seems logical that it could work. I don't want to cast away my diaper turn ons, but I'd like to share equal attraction to the opposite sex. Can anyone relate to this? How have things turned out for you? What lessons have you learned?
Thanks, from a new poster.
