    It mostly deals with the morality of being into diapers and baby stuff in relation to Christianity. I was recently presented with a commission for a story that sounded similar at first, but turned it down when it became about something else, which I won’t detail here.

    Aside from the usual subject, what all would you be looking for in this?

    Do you write on commission?  I never knew that actually took place.

    proof of what?

    Prayer has been tested, according to Dr. Dean Edell on his show and Gene Burnes reported countelss times between 1983 and 1992 and it was found very much wanting, as well as in the various great plagues I mentioned, smallpox epidemics and the other killers of the pre-modern world. Besides which, what about the prayers that, far mor numerously were NOT answered in those same plagues and medical holocausts? If you want to take credit for the  good, you must take the blame for the far more prevalent bad. It goes BOTH ways. If I see 5 prayers answered, and 50 -- or 500 NOT, what am I to think of its efficacy as I watch 60% of Europe's population obliterated? Ring around the rosy. A pocket full of posey: HASHA! HASHA! All fall down

    All I was doing was demonstrating the efficacy of science and that not by proof, but by demonstation and comparison.

    Any need to "prove" anything was in your own mind. Beyond that, you did not present any standards of proof to be up to. So you are making all of this up since, in this presentation there was nothing to "prove" save the efficacy of science. That was better accomplished by demonstration; i.e. presentation of facts of history and comparison; i.e. to what was being implicitly offered as an alternative, showing which made the difference, than by rigorous deductive reasoning. So, as I said, "proof of what?

    FYI: moderen science was begun by Albertus Magnus, a Dominican during the Middle Ages. Much of what had been discovered by the Greeks had been forgotten. The next step was in Philsophly. Since the fall of Room, some of the works of Aristotle had survived in the West. By the Middle Ages, this was known as the "Beta Logica [Old Logic]", with the Crusades and full contact with the Muslim beginning in the late 11th Century. The rest of these works were recovered and used by the student of Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas in his work in philosophy and those works became known as the "Logica Nova". The work of Aquinas became known as Thomism and became the leitmotif of the Dominican Order, of which Albertus Magnus and St Thomas Aquinas were members. and led to the Renassance . But moedrrn science owes its roots and organization to Albertus Magnus. In recognition of that fact the science building at Providence College, a high-quality Dominican institution, is called Albertus Magnus Hall

    BTW: If you want to get demeaning via personal attack, however veiled, that tells me ALL ABOUT your "standards of proof [if you had any, you would display them proudly as they are rare, valuable and impressive]". That is The Fallacy of Argumentum Ad Hominem and you learn that in Logic 101 and it tells even an untrained but honest person all they need to know

    'Testing' prayer is a somewhat silly notion because it presumes it is like a science experiment seeking confirmation of a hypothesis that prayer follows some kind of predictable formula. Thats a silly notion. But I have no less that FOUR well-documented examples of literal miracles in response to prayer that defy any repudiation. Prayer is communication with God. The idea that you can 'test' that is a foolish one.

    I like watching flat earther videos because they are just so stupid but after all their rambling, their silly statements and flawed experiments, just ONE full-frame photo destroys all of their objections. In like manner, just ONE provable miracle in response to prayer destroys the counter argument. Four just nails down every corner.  And I am hardly alone in this experience.

    The rest of your arguments are peripheral and not pertaining to the central argument. What you are complaining about is not prayer itself or even the existence of God but rather that He doesnt do what you think He should. That is as flimsy as it gets.

    Matthew 5:29-30 King James Version (KJV)

    29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

    30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

     

    I want to add If diapers lead you to sin then you should remove them.

    If only it were that simple!  And yes, diapers and AB etc can lead to sin like any other strong drive can (sex drive ??). It is learning to manage your drives and ambitions to stay with the constraints of righteousness.

  4. well, obviously the scripture is not referring to age regression but at the same time, when you see little children and their simple faith-driven approach to God, you see what Jesus was meaning. Adults complicate things but children approach God with a simplicity of heart and an understanding that adults often do not have.

    No, I'm not too in to it for a couple of reasons;

    1.  It doesn't remind me of the diapers of my youth (if you grew up in France at the right era, things may be different).
    2.  I'm not overly fond of any of those type of diapers that I've tried in the past (belted undergarments, absorbant jock straps, etc).

     

    I think you made a good comment that people often wear diapers because... they are diapers and look like them. Whether they work or not isnt particularly important to most people.

  6. It's unfortunate, but the current climate means you need to steer clear of any place that has minors that you know are minors. The reality is that an intelligent mid teen can hide the fact they are a minor fairly well and most of us would no doubt have spoken to a minor without being aware of it. The problem exists tho if you are in a place that openly caters to minors and so you cant easily claim ignorance as a defence.

    It's a bummer for TBDLs because they are everywhere and need good solid advice even more than ABDLs, but sadly, nothing can be done for them. Not sure that is likely to change any time soon.

    Miracles doesn't mean there is a God

    There is lots of stuff science can't explain, yet.

    So, just reject the evidence, right?  These incidents weren't random. They occurred in direct response to prayer to God. You aren't even will to grant them authenticity. Your mind is closed.

    No, there is lots of stuff it has not explained YET. 300 years ago, it had not explained 1/4 of what it has learned to explain since then. But they still had religion, even more strongly: And they were still lashed with Smallpox, Whooping cough, Cholera and had seen 3 mindblowing occurrances of plagues that had decimated the European population: things that, today, are not even a blip on the radar. Let me put it this way, If you were having severe chast pains, what would you do; Call 911 or pray. If you say "both" that will tell me about your integrity. In my case I did one but not the other. I wonder what science would accomplish if it had been around as long as religion instead of just 400 years. when you pray, do not forget to wear a mask for the next 1-1/2 year or so, then you will not have to

    The problem with your argument is that it denies the possibility of evidence. Like the other poster, it would simply not be possible to reach your standard of proof because you have none. Science predates 400 years ago. It predates Christ for example.

    You need to make some connections to find some groups and see some relative content.  Send me a friend request on FL, that's not much of a start but it might open the door a chink.

    Yep.  I could see that happening quite easily ?

    I wound up with a footprint on Fetlife as a consequence of the general abandonment of the more verticalized “Wet Set” forum (one of the early sites with scale specific to our genre and operated out of Australia).  A local Australian DL I knew had fled there and invited me to follow.  At the time, I didn't over-think it.

     

    There’s no doubt that Fetlife is a much larger and broader church.  Many of the participants are almost mainstream and run the gamut of human nature relatively freely given the fairly light touch of moderation that occurs there.  I suspect its name, a contraction of “Fetish” might tilt the demographic towards folks seeking quick jollies rather than insight and as a broad church, the usual tenets of judgementalism and occasional terseness with content not aligned to various member's objectives does appear.

     

    I’m not as active on Fetlife as I am on here but that’s more to do with DD being a more verticalized place where I’m less likely to surprise people.  Many folk are on both places, sometimes under different names.  A number of people that who’ve seen my profile on Fetlife, then pop up to chat on DD.

     

    On Fetlife I've largely stayed inside my swim lane and thus I’ve never had any negative experiences.  I've never considered joining a group on fishnet stocking aficionados and tried to convince them of the merit of combining them with nappies (some have and then wonder why they get flamed).  It was a Fetlife DL who decided to establish the Zoom room and kudos to him for doing that (as a retiree, he has the time to reliably do this whereas my work commitments will get in the way). 

     

    Fetlife also seemed to have a more accessible way to store writings and pictures.  I think I felt it necessary to put up pictures because I’d looked at so many, I’d feel guilty if I didn’t reciprocate.

     

    There’s no doubt that DD  is “nicer” and more vigorously moderated, almost a Norman Rockwell-does-ABDL kind of place at times but just perhaps, that relative lack of challenge and ideological diversity might make it a less interesting at those times.

     

    I’ve glanced at Reddit but never considered joining.  It seemed pretty teenage to me and I really don’t want to be THAT creep.

     

    I guess these places are really to-varying-extents filtered reflections of the people that are in them.

     

    My early experience in Fetlife was when I wrote my first book. I mentioned it there and the torrent of vitriol and vile abuse truly astonished me. It was vicious and a massive pile-on. It went on for some time and then I decided to investigate... yes, unsurprisingly NOT ONE OF THE ABUSERS had actually read the book but chose t abuse the mere concept of a book seeking to describe and detail ABDL behaviour. wow... 

    Ive met some nice people on there although I rarely go there and most are simply people I've met on Twitter who contact me there. 

    The funniest thing for me was when first abused a small group of people decided that they would 'write their own book' to counter mine (despite never reading it in the first place. They then set up a thread dedicated to the task and got as far as discussing the copyright page and then nothing in the 8 years since.

    DD is certainly a nice place with seemingly effective moderation but most people seem to self-moderate anyhow. Perhaps it is the black and foreboding design of Fetlife that brings out so many peoples 'dark side'.

    I got banned from the main ABDL group on fetlife for the 'sin' of posting about a new survey we were conducting. The premise was that the survey was 'making money' although how that was possible is beyond me. And just as a further proof that self-awareness is so rare, the moderator who banned me was the webmaster/owner of an ABDL pay site who routinely mentioned it in the group.

    There are many, many lovely people I've met during this online/writing journey, but the path has been littered by a pile of unpleasant cretins as well. DD however, is a paradise.

    Yes:  He was the second one I told ;)  He knew, because I wanted him and my stepmom to know - There have been very supportive, and I wanted them to know I have had medical issues because of the difficulties I had last summer: I told them that the way I wanted to deal with it is to use diapers, and they understood. It is quite hard to deal with diverticulitis, or constantly running to the bathroom - People that know I wear have been very supportive, and seem to understand my reasons - I will NOT let my condition get me down, and I CAN'T be afraid of it - It gets so bad some nights, that I cant sleep for more than a few hours, then, I'm back in the bathroom for 2-3 hours when a flare up happens.

    My Dad also is a great guy, with a great sense of humor, so I thought it was cute :)

    That is excellent!  So few families or parents handle it quite so well.

    What evidence? Did you pray, then win the lottery?

    Those 4 times was most likely coincidences that would have happened anyway 

    People can believe in whatever thy want, as long as they keep it to them self, or at least in their own circle 
    No need to push it onto others and say they gonna go to hell if they don't believe 

    Modern science can explain how Jesus died and then woke up

    He wasn't dead..

     

    1) daughter born with spina bifida - hole in the spine with nerves exposed and damaged and full diagnositic testing and confirmation. Diagnosis was wheelchair, incontinence and reduced life span. after prayer by several people at age 3 days, the hole closed over completely and full restoration of nerve function. 30 years later, no evidence of it having ever been there.  Hospital staff were in shock and called it a miracle.

    2) 18 months ago I was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy and told that I would likely die from it. My cardiac performance was below that 'consistent with life'. I managed to survived those first few weeks in hospital on medication and for a couple months took things very slowly and carefully. Then one day I was prayed for and a subsequent echocardiogram howed that my heart was 'completely normal and no indication of any disease or weakness'. Both my cardiologists were stunned and said they had NEVER SEEN anything like it before. A year later, my heart remains completely and totally healthy with zero signs of disease or damage. I am well-known in the hospital as the 'miracle lady'.

     

    There are two other examples that are just as impressive. Theses are both demonstrable miracles complete (in the latter one) with extensive medical records. Both of them ae far more impressive and far less likely than winning Powerball. Neither of them are remotely possible.

    As various parts of Australia cautiously start to peek out from under their COVID-19 lock-down blankets, the US global corporation I work for has turned the screws even tighter in response to the view from the US (it clearly isn’t a good view).  It looks like we will be working from home until October and even then, it is debatable whether all our offices can be made compliant for social distancing given the aggressive occupant density metrics that were adopted as an economy measure just a couple of years ago.  Either this or they will fall victim to the massive real estate consolidation project underway in response to “learnings” about work-from-home (ie: it’s cheaper).

     

    I suspect that even if my job survives, I may simply not have an office to return to.  I’m not sure how I feel about this.  Clearly, I’m at the autumn (that’s “fall” to some of you) of my career but there is something especially bleak about Zoom-based “goodbye” ceremonies:  I’ve been to a few since March.

     

    As it’s the final days of the week, I’ve gone back into cloth nappies!  Today is a kite-folded and pinned terry under Babykins milky-white encased plastic pants.  In case the mailman calls or the zoom-camera slips down, I’ve pulled on some tracksuit pants over the lot although otherwise, I am home alone.

     

    I’ve had a couple of “alone” days recently as daughter #2 has gotten shifts at her part time student job which is cautiously re-opening.  Cloth nappies are not that discreet.  I catch the occasional “wet nappy” whiff from down there and my crotch is unusually puffy but it’s of no consequence to anybody as they aren’t here.  I will shower and change into an evening nappy before they get home and a compression pant over that will slim things down.

     

    Emboldened by thoughtful suggestions from others that chat groups may not reflect the pinnacle of human thought and still pining for something to talk to that wasn’t either work-related or a disinterested cat, I joined a Fetlife-organised Zoom-room session with some fellow middle-aged enthusiasts.  This wasn’t as weird as you might imagine.  Conversational topics were wide-ranging and only occasionally diaper-related.  It was a nice “virtual outing” although the stars of having a hole in my calendar at that time of the working day (it's obviously built around a US time zone) AND having the adjacent teenager somewhere out of the house need to align to enable my participation.  I plan to do it again as and when I am able to.

     

    Sometime next month I’m going to need to think about my next order of nappies.  There's clearly no reason to stop wearing them, they are developing a habit of wetting themselves and I can start to see bits of my study cupboard re-appearing from behind where full packets used to be and I still have a job to pay for them.   My consumption of Molicare has slowed to a crawl.  From home, I can stay with two nappies per day (BetterDry overnight and the ever-unreliable ABU Simple during the day) and manage the risk of daytime leakage and bulk.  Outside of weekends where tactical travel and/or beer might trigger three-diaper-days, there’s just no point wearing Molicares.

     

    Decisions, decisions…

     

    ABU Simples feel great until they leak.  Which they inevitably do.  I’m pouring out my plastic pants at every evening shower it seems.  ABU Simple Ultra (they should have just called them “ABU Simples” and made the standard flavour “ABU Mediocre”) are just prohibitively expensive in Australia.  ABU have unhelpfully limited purchases to a half case as a COVID-19 measure which means that the unit price for this nappy is now, after freight, A$3.57 or US$2.32 to my door.  This price makes my eyes water even if my thighs don’t!  I guess if you are focused on the ABDL market, you can do that.  If your clientele are folks who are incontinent (or like me, just a bit unreliable and prone to bedwetting), rationing nappies isn’t super-helpful to them.

     

    Even the uber-comfortable-but-tragically-fluid-permeable ABU Simple “mediocre” edition is, through the withdrawal of case-pricing, A$2.82/US$1.83 per nappy delivered.  BetterDry I can get delivered for A$3.01 (US$1.96) per unit case rates but they defeat the default ABU Simple in performance.

     

    Another outlier is the apparently well-regarded but personally untried “Rearz Incontrol Inspire+”.  With a product name an impressive 24 characters long they’d have to be good right?  Available in a 72-pack “double case” I can have them delivered for effectively A$3.51/US$2.28 per nappy. 

     

    Yep, this is how expensive things are in Australia.   Maybe I should take up crystal meth: it would be cheaper. 

     

    I’m open to suggestions here but remember the first time Mrs Oznl sees a fluffy baa-baa lamb print on my nappy, I’m going to be living outside under the carport until the police arrive.

     

    I understand your price-related concerns. One of the reasons we were for most of the time a cloth-nappy household was the pricing issue. All costs factored in, cloth nappies are a third of the cost of disposables and far less subject to supply shortages. Our current circumstances (new, very small and not very discreet) house) preclude cloth nappies and it is quite the loss. My baby always prefers cloth anyhow citing better absorbancy, comfort and 'babyness'. Kite-folded terries are bulky but comfy while dependeco velco nappies are discreet and good value.

    Sorry that baby-theme nappies are still a no-no. been there and been the one with the negative reaction as well!

    With FetLife it is really easy to take a wrong turn and end up in a dead-end alley with some really weird shit going on... :)

    Fetlife is more like a sewer than anything. There are some nice people on there for sure, but the angst and vitriol there is worse than pretty much anywhere else although Reddit certainly tries.

    Rosalie, I highly recommend to to you this book. It is written by a Pentecostal-raised leading New Testament scholar, whose lifelong study of the Bible from within the church has led him to become an agnostic.

    What he shares in the book is based on 150 years of study by Christians, for Christians on what is known about when, why, and by whom each part of the Bible was written.

    This is not particularly controversial knowledge (lots of debate about details and strong evidence for the overall conclusions). He begins the book by saying this is likely what was taught to most ministers, who do not have the courage or the skills to share it with fundamentalists in their congregations, and so they keep silent. 

    He is your age, educated at the Moody Bible Institute and Princeton, and currently teaching in North Carolina. He's the author of 30 books, others of which also relate to this subject, in masterly and fascinating detail.

    https://www.amazon.ca/Jesus-Interrupted-Revealing-Hidden-Contradictions/dp/0061173940

    ON no less than FOUR occasions on my family we have prayed for and received miraculous healings that defy medical science. After experiences like that (and others) how could you ever convince me that there is no God? Faith is belief without direct evidence but when you have actual direct evidence....?

    Ive studied the Bible for decades now and God has never let me down.

    But there are non-fetish reasons why individuals would desire to wear diapers, unrelated to age-regressive or age-play.  Emotional security is a big one. 

    You make a good point, but for the purpose of the survey, it is more-or-less restricted to ABs. The question of 'emotional security' is a valid one, but I also question that if a diaper becomes a security object that it is related to infantile desires at the same time. I'm not saying that it couldnt be, but I would suggest that a lot of people who wear for emotional security do so because they are AB.

    We have considered reworking our 'diaper attraction' model to include non-fetish, non-regressive and non-roleplay reasons, but have not  done so yet.

    Does anyone else have thoughts about what other reasons for wearing diapers other than medical need and convenience in certain occupations or situations?

  14. 8 minutes ago, oznl said:

    But if you don't identify as a "regressive adult baby" at the first question the survey ends there so perhaps more "AB" than "DL".

    It uses term 'regressive adult baby' very widely because the survey is not aimed at purely fetish users as that is very different to ABs for whom it is part of their identity. Also, to be honest, the question was mainly aimed at keep fake tossers out of the survey. 

  15. While it would never be mainstream news, it certainly seems as if extended confinement is going to change the diaper-wearing habits of a lot of people. It has always been true that the pressures and committments of real life - jobs, social interactions etc - limit us and put boundaries around is but now, all that has changed and we ironically either have far more freedom to wear diapers or a great deal less.

    We have a survey on COVID19 and how it is affecting ABDLs and can be taken multiple times to try and track how things are changing. https://abdiscovery.com.au/surveys/

    I'd encourage you all to take this survey.

  16. Keeping souvenirs of your diapers is kinda curious. It certainly indicates that they are of more than mere passing interest or of simply functional value. It suggests a very deep-centred connection that transcends what most would understand.

    In a way I get it, but as a non-ABDL I also DONT get it. Nothing like being of two minds!
