Fontaine Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We would need at least a couple more sexual revolutions to occur before wide acceptance is attained. So probably 200 years minimum if I had to guess. Link to comment

froggy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I feel no need to discuss ABDL with my neighbors, family, vanilla friends, or coworkers. 1 1 Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Who cares? I have a life and no time to chase the public's love. I am an individualist 2 Link to comment
WSvenH Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I am a social being (homo sapiens), and for thousands of years the survival of the indiviuals of my species dependded severely on what others thought about them ... I think that might be the reason that I still judge my self in the (fantastic) court of public opinion. Therefore the question is in deed super interesting to me, too, how can we increase acceptance from general public? I propose by telling a story about how ABDL evolves that most people can somehow relate to, to the comforting aspect of AB and even diapers... I don't know. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Social exsisence is secondary, specifically, relational. still good, still enjoyable and still useful, individual existence is primary. Hence it precedes group experiences and ought to take precedence If you were truly primarily a social being you would not be begging for acceptance form "society". You would abandon your "selfish" whim and conform. Since you are not doing that, then you have proven my point. The individual exists apart from and prior to any affiliations that person makes. In fact, rational psychology holds to "self-actualization" which is validation of oneself as a PERSON. i.e. ad an individual. What you suggest was tried i the mid 1960's as the "groupthink" experiments which failed. Also we ridicule persons who are slaves to fashion, trendy ideas or some other kind of conformity for conformity's sake. "Get a life" is just the latest form of that. Before it was "be yourself" and before that "know thyself" So if you crave acceptance, then conform Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It will be a very long time yet before we have widespread tolerance, and that gas to come before we get acceptance Till then I think the best approach is to make sure nothing negative about this happens, and in that all we can do is control our own self and what we do Bettypooh 1 Link to comment
BabyLexisMommy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You know, I do believe people change but first and foremost you have to be comfortable with who and what you are and not what other people around you are telling you is comfortable. For example, if any of you would have asked me this time last year if I would be taking care of and being a mommy to and AB at this time of my life I would have totally laughed right in your face, but what am I doing right now being a mommy to a 23 year old AB who regresses to the age of 1. It took many months for me to finally decide to do this and it was really because of my needs as well and because Lexi was not what I envisioned as a freak but she was actually a sweet young lady. I certainly didn't jump into this and conform to it right away and was skeptical at first. It took 3 months of discussions before Lexi and I actually took that plunge and said lets do this. So I do think people can change, but I do think first people have to be comfortable with who they are and not what society is telling them should be there comfort zone. Link to comment

BabyJune Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The general public can't agree on politics or religion. How would you ever expect them to accept something like ABDL? The majority of people will not accept the fact that it has nothing to do with actual children, and you'll never get them to understand that. I enjoy it much more by keeping it private. It is something special that I have with no reason to share it. 1 Link to comment
Hookedondiapers Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 We don't even have acceptance within our own community. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'd be surprised if overall acceptance by the general public of the AB/DL lifestyle will happen anytime soon. Link to comment
BabyJune Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I guess the basic message here should be that if you get your jollies from it, then it needs to be kept private. the lifestyle can be enjoyed without being shared or accepted by everyone. 3 Link to comment

Nat Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think ABDL acceptance would be great so we wouldn't have to live in fear or hiding. I am not saying we should all expose ourselves and do it in public, it would be nice if we could all just freely wear diapers without any judgment like worrying about our parents finding out or relatives or anyone we are staying with etc. and fear judgment or thinking of a story to tell about why we wear them.

Comfortably diapered Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I accept myself and that's more that enough. I'm lucky to have a non judgemental partner so I'm content Link to comment
