Paraphilic infantilism
Paraphilic infantilism (also known as autonepiophilia or adult baby syndrome) is a paraphilia characterized by the desire to wear diapers and be treated as an infant or toddler. Individuals who experience this are referred to as adult babies or diaper lovers (often abbreviated as AB/DL).
Definition and Overview[edit]
Paraphilic infantilism is a form of sexual fetishism where an individual derives sexual pleasure and satisfaction from behaving as a baby. This may involve the use of diapers, baby clothing, and baby furniture such as cribs and high chairs. The behaviors can include drinking from a bottle, eating baby food, and engaging in baby talk.
Psychological Aspects[edit]
The psychological aspects of paraphilic infantilism are complex and not fully understood. Some individuals may use this behavior as a way to cope with stress or anxiety, while others may find it sexually arousing. It is important to note that not all individuals who engage in adult baby behavior do so for sexual reasons.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for paraphilic infantilism is typically only sought if the behavior is causing significant distress or impairment in the individual's life. Treatment may involve psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or medication.
