1.The occasional rant is good for the soul. Oops! gotta drop the religious reference - maybe good for the blood pressure. 2.Moving on, I think the phrase "it takes a village" is wise in many ways. It takes a village of many: talents, skills, ages - but most of all opinions. If a village all thinks alike and all agrees on everything, sooner or later a fatal flaw will occur, and the village is doomed. 3.So I try to avoid labeling opinions different than mine as "stupid" "bigoted" or any other sharp put-down that comes to mind (yes, they're in my mind. The challenge is to prevent them from passing through my lips, or fingertips.) 4.Generalizations never hold up well in close quarters. Is O'Donnell the summation of the Tea Party? Nah. There is no one profile for any political party, or any religious denomination whether protestant, catholic, muslim, or any of the others under the sun. If you can't define a person as an individual, you really can't define them at all.

From my limited experience - If you release a full bladder at once, the flow rate will almost certainly cause a leak. When I wet a diaper, I hold it as long as I possibly can. Once the urge is too desperate and strong, I start letting out in little bits every 5-10 seconds to allow the absorbent material to do it's thing. After I'm half empty and the pressure has diminished, I relax and release completely. I have good luck keeping leaks to a few drops.

I have to admit, this really intrigues me even though messing is not something I normally consider at all. The domination/helplessness seems strong, and it's far enough outside of my comfort zone to give that tingle of excitement and fear. Two questions for those who've tried it: 1.Do you clean yourself out before beginning the process? 2. Has anyone experienced any lingering or unexpected side effects, no problems with a surprise infection from the bananas, no problems returning to normal once the glycerin is out of the system? Thanks Good health to all here.

In my life, shaving came ahead of diapers - there's another shaving thread I posted on a day or two ago. I shave sac and shaft with a Fusion. Everything topside gets trimmed down with clippers using a #2. It wasn't as common in the younger days of "my" generation, but I think its definitely a cleaner look and feel. Never had a comment from the doc during the annual checkup, and my GP is female. Funny sidebar on that one - one year my PSA's were different, not high but different, and my GP asked me to get a second opinion with a urologist. Before she made a referral, she asked if I would be uncomfortable with a female specialist. I told her, "Now's a heckuva time to ask!" (I did see another female because she was the best, and everything's fine.) I did shave my legs for a few years when I was racing bicycles, a long time ago. A total shave would feel a bit too prepubescent for me. Good health to all here. treefrog61

I'll second Edmonguy's comment that exhibitionism is in poor taste. Not just with this fetish, but with most. I'm sure I'm on the conservative end of the group. Do I buy diapers in public? Yes. Maybe a slight rush while purchasing. I don't like to linger in the isle reading all the packaging. And even if I thought they'd fit my 32" waist, I wouldn't shop in the baby section. Do I wear in public? Only if I'm on a road trip, which is my rationalization for wearing in the first place. Would I wet in public? Not intentionally, and if I'm wet I'm looking to change. The only intentional wetting would happen in a hotel room; also on a road/business trip. That's just me, I make no judgment of others. Good health to all here. treefrog61

A late addition to this thread... I've been shaving for 4-5 years, sac and shaft. Everything else gets trimmed. Never had an itch issue, and I shave maybe once a week. The most obvious advantage to me was the ease of removing condoms without pulling hair out by the roots. The only irritation I've ever experienced occurred on a 50 mile bike (bicycle) ride when I didn't think to shave. Enough stubble growth to get prickly.

Thanks! I have a friend/acquaintance Asger who is Danish. We a long time ago, far far away in time and space - he was a high school exchange student.

I'm into diapers due to a mix of practical application and fetish. The humiliation factor is the fetish attraction; I've never felt any pure AB desires, but being in a humiliating/embarrassing situation can be exciting. The practical matter is that at times I'm a road warrior, driving up to several hundred miles for meetings and work site inspections. Stops along corn fields and the side of the road are bad enough; worse is that my bladder seems trained to go into overdrive as soon as I hit an exit with a gas station or truck stop. A few serious situations of springing a leak while waiting on an occupied restroom made me think of the female astronaut who made use of diapers on her road trip a few years back - not a role model, but a possible solution for me. So now I'm having fun experimenting and reading these boards. Discretion is a must; not something I'm going to bring into the home. I've done a few trips with Depends, but the s/m size is way baggy on me - I've a 31" waist and the tapes are pulled all the way to the pad in front. Not really attracted to briefs - stripping waist down in a gas station stall has no appeal, and the tapes of a true diaper are a bulls eye on the fetish buttons. Good health to all here. treefrog
