When convenience is a common reason for wearing diapers, it will dilute the ignorance and stupid commentary that currently is associated with diaper-wearing. The regressive side of AB will always be near impossible to explain, but we dont need the public to understand it. We simply need them to break the connection between ABDL and paedophilia and other negative images. ironically, it will be the general public's increased non-medical use of diapers that is most likely to achieve that goal.

As a DL I think this is partly true.

I found this thread on another site that seems to also cover this topic.

Like Craisler said, if you are wetting 3 times a night you're gonna need to invest in some quality protection. Also,

The public image of ABDL? Standing headline "60 year old man seen in just a diaper with a pacifier in his mouth carrying teddy bear". Then the usual questions about what makes him tick and the endless rounds of psychobabble

Two words; repeat after me "PRIVATE life" now, go understand what that means and why it is important. Hence; I don't want the public in my bedroom so I don't put my bedroom im the public square. Also, from an anti-drunk driving PSA "Your lifestyle is your business, but if you take it out on the road, it becomes everybody's busienss"

47 years ago, we finally got recognition that 1. everyone had some kind of kink and 2 since some persons, in fact, most persons found some specific kinks objectionable, and since everyone had a right to peaceful use of public space, it was not discussed in public and the display of it, in public, was exhibitionism and the province of wingnuts and pervets, and we needed a modus vivendi so we kept it behind closed doors and were very happy with that. In the late 60's the "old fogies" warned us that the hard core kinksters, i. e. wingnuts and perverts, would try to shove their lifestyle down peoples' throats. It seems they were right

As an individualist and a respector of "personal space" and one who demands the same. There is no benefit to me of ANY "public Image" of ABDL's as being different from other folks

We have a stable situation where each person lives his. her or both, own life hassle-free and what others don't know won't hurt anyone and if you put your business in the street, you hang out a big sign saying "Gawkers and buttinskies welcom". We got a good thing going, why upset the apple cart? And does it occur to you that if you make it a topic of public comment that you infringe on those who are happy to keep it private by bringing the community, as a whole, and therfore its parts, under public, busybody, scrtiny?

As I said before I'm not advocating for public display, TV appearances,

Just try to be the best person you can be, dont get hung up about it. If someone doesnt want to take the time to try and understand whats going on than fuck em theyre probably simple minded anyways. Dont let it define who you are, let your actions towards others and the world define who you are.

Someone else said that how people react to this says a lot more about them than it does about us, i think this holds true on many things not just this.

That being said most people are mean, facetious, ignorant, and believe themselves to have a higher self worth than they actually do.

I have only told my ex girlfriend and my wife about ABDL. My ex was more open to things and thought it was exciting to wear in public.

Honestly I get the feeling that the best thing anyone can do is... To do nothing. People have tried going on TV many, many times and despite whether the programs were good or bad, or if they were sympathetic or unsympathetic it has made next to no difference in the way ABDLs are portrayed or thought of. We are a collection of freaks that can be put on TV to try to pop a rating, they have no interest in our community beyond that.

I totally agree that going on TV is a bad decision.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for tips and general ideas on how to build up and improve the abdl community. I'm not a big fan of the way mainstream media has portrayed us and if you Google image "men in diapers" it's not a good look. "Boy in diapers" actually gives results that I would consider child porn. I'm probably a little biased here but "women in diapers" does not produce results that are as unflattering but again "girl in diapers" sends up red flags.

Don't mean to resurrect an old topic but op is informative. I know you can add yourself anonymously (just add your city not your actual address, which I'm to scared to do!) But does anyone know if the map is still being moderated?
