Brief Definitions
Infantilism just means “exhibiting infantile or immature traits,” which is pretty vague, but in this context it means the practice of deliberately and consciously acting, dressing, and/or being treated like a baby, although there are many ways this can happen and many reasons why.
An adult baby (AB) is a biological adult who feels a need to act, dress, and/or be treated like a baby in one way or another. There are many different possible motivations for doing this.
A teen baby (TB) is the same as an adult baby (AB) except for being under the age of majority, which of course varies depending on the laws in effect in one’s location. Some jurisdictions have laws that understandably make ABs reluctant to communicate with TBs about even the most mundane of matters. If you are a TB, I urge you to accept yourself for who you are, find peers who also accept you, and join AB communities once you are of age. I wish someone had been there to tell me this when I was where you are now, but there is nothing wrong with you, and you will be OK. If you are a parent and suspect your child may be a TB, I urge you to gather information, use common sense about how much you believe what you see online, discuss it openly and honestly with them, and keep an open mind.
A diaper lover (DL) is someone who has an attraction to wearing diapers. The attraction is often sexual but not always — for some it’s a matter of comfort or security. Needing to wear diapers doesn’t make you a DL, but it is possible to both need them and enjoy them; the two are not mutually exclusive.
A little (according to one definition, at least) is a biological adult who feels as if they are really a younger age inside and needs to express that inner child in some way. I’ve also seen the term “inner kid” (IK) used for this. There is usually nothing sexual about this need. Coloring, finger painting, or playing children’s games is a great way to relax, and everyone has an inner child to some extent — this just takes that a step further.
A babyfur is a furry who is also an adult or teen baby — or, if you prefer, an AB/TB who is also a furry (i.e. a member of a subculture embracing the identities of anthropomorphic animal characters commonly found in illustration, animation, and fiction).
An ageplayer is someone who incorporates roleplay as a different age into a relationship; this activity is called ageplay. This type of roleplay may be sexual in nature, and when it is, it may involve power exchange play or other forms of BDSM, but it also may be completely nonsexual. In any case, though, it is between consenting adults.
If any of the above describes you (or is close — these definitions are really really brief), this website might be for you! In any case, though, you are valid, you are OK, you are accepted, and you have my support. Let’s all stick together, because we all need each other.
In Real Life …
… I’m a 56-year-old married trans girl. I live in Indiana, USA. Among other things, I’m a writer, an artist, a musician, a computer geek, and a roleplaying gamer. My wife knows all about the fact that I’m a baby girl on the inside, but although she does occasionally play with this side of me in small ways, she’s not a “mommy” to me in any dedicated, continuous sense. We have a poly family with a third partner, and we’re not averse to the idea of adding other partners, should the right person or people come along.
Disclaimers
Some of the material on this site is not suitable for underage viewers. I urge you to become aware of the laws in your area and try to avoid doing anything that would get yourself in trouble or get this resource or others like it taken down.
Although this site may contain material unsuitable for children under 18, this site is not about child pornography or pedophilia. Such topics are not welcome here, and the AB/DL community as a whole rejects them as well — we all want to protect the children. There is a gigantic difference between wanting to be a baby, whether alone or with other consenting adults, and wanting to harm an actual child. The former is harmless, if a bit unusual, while the latter is a crime.
