I just found out my 15 year old son LIKES to wear diapers! WHY? and WHAT does this mean?

OMG, once I read your post I had to answer. Trust me, you are not the only one that has a son that likes to wear diapers. I have a 4 yr old son that wets the bed almost nightly. I choose to keep him in diapers at nite so he wears the new pampers size seven diapers. I often go out so there is a boy that is 12 yrs old that lives across the street from me that babysits my son. Well for the past month or so I've noticed that it seemed like we were going through a lot of diapers. My son only uses one diaper a nite. I had and idea of what was going on so to make a long story short, I set up like I was going out one evening and had the boy babysit two weeks ago. I parked around the corner and went and watched in the windows of my own house and sure to heck I saw him disrobe and put diapers on himself while my son was watching TV in the other room. I was in shock that the diapers fit a 12 yr like they did, he looked like he was two again. I stayed where I was to make sure nothing else was going on, thank god there wasn't, but this kid went through three (3) diapers in two hours. When he diapered himself on the third diaper is when I barged in and caught him in just a diaper and a shirt. He about crapped his diapers!! I took him across the street while he was in a shirt and diaper so he could explain to his parents why he was in diapers. He said he just wants to wear diapers. Needless to say, he hasn't babysat for me and I have his mom an additional 6 diapers that nite.

They have taken him to see a psychiatrist and believe it or not the doctor said it is a phase and suggested to let his feelings and emotions takes its course and let him wear diapers 24/7 because it is just a phase and its not hurting anyone for him to be in diapers. The doctor said since it was a phase if you do this, it will get the urge to wear diapers out of his system and he wont want to do it for a long period of time. So as for now they are following the advise of the doctor and he is in diapers almost 24/7. He goes to school in underwear but when he gets home from school, he changes into diapers and the bathroom is off limits so he does his business in diapers. He diapers himself and cleans himslef, thats part of the process. Its all or nothing and of course sometimes your seen wearing diapers and thats also part of the process.

They did some checking online and bought some "adult baby diapers" from a place called bambinodiapers.com. He does everthing as he normally would except that he is in diapers from the time he is home from school and all weekend long. I talked to his parents yesterday and he is already telling them his is getting bored with the diapers but since they bought them, he is going to wear all of the diapers. I would guess he has about another two or so weeks and he is done with this phase and diapers. I looked online and found the diapers they use and omg, there is so many out there and so much information about the subject. Your son is what is called a diaper lover (DL). Several sights explain this and supply diapers, another site to get diapers is abuniverse.com.

I was really surprised to see your post after my dealing with this. I thought long and hard also because if this was my son wanting to wear diapers at that age what would I do. After seeing first hand and the research I have done, along with the doctors my neighbors took him to, I would definately do the same thing and let him wear diapers and no toilet useage until he gets out of the phase.

You can e-mail me if you want to chat anymore about the subject.

It is alright. Take a deep breath. First thing you can do is not to react harshly. He is a DL, or Diaper Lover, which is as you said, a fetish. You would be surprised at how many are diaper fetishists, somewhere in the millions worldwide. Secondly, for the majority of the AB/DL (Adult Baby/Diaper Lover) community, this is a coping skill (speaking from experience) and provides a sense of safety and stress relief. The good thing is that he is using diapers as a coping mechanism rather than a Schedule I substance. Lastly, the best thing you can do is to get him a caring psychotherapist that helps. I don't know if this will help, but YouTube has a great video on this subject by Baby Mitchy. He explains the difference between the DSM IV classification of Fetishism and Pedophilia and how AB's and DL'S have a benign kink, provided it doesn't interfere with normative functions of daily life.

I was 12 when I had the desire to wear diapers again I used to take diapers from the church nursery and finally later on took the bus to walmart and bought the diapers from there and it was embarrassing but worth it. I didn't understand why and thought something was wrong with me until I saw there was others like me and I am a normal boy not sick or messed up I. The head I also hid them from my parents almost got caught but never did well I still to this day wear them it is a relaxation technique and I was potty trained at. An early age and might be a reason why I desired to wear again. I also met others and was into being taken care of by a big bro and daddy it made me feel very little and safe and loved. Nothing wrong with your son everyone has different reasons for wearing and it is not harming anybody. Peace to all!

Seriously, calm down. This is not a big deal.

There is no connection between liking diapers and pedophilia. Liking diapers, from what I've heard, is about liking the feeling of wearing one or imagining being a baby who needs to be cared for. It has nothing to do with how they'd treat an actual child.

In addition it seems to be linked to masochism or submissiveness in some cases, and being punished for wetting can be part of the fantasy, so freaking out can actually increase the appeal.

My advice is to let him choose whether he wears diapers or not. If you have money concerns tell him he has to pay for them with a summer job or something. Above all he should feel safe to be honest about his feelings, which I seriously doubt he feels right now because you are freaking out over something that really isn't a big deal. I mean judging from this experience, if he did feel attracted to children he'd never tell you about it. So if that's your biggest concern, you're making it worse.

Why a boy becomes a Diaper Lover

Hi I wrote this post for parents and their sons to understand why they are Diapers Lovers.

First DL is a sexual fetish but this is harmless lots of people have a fetish.

Keep in mind here that the more you know about why your child is a DL the better parent you will be. Most importantly you need to keep in mind this is not your child's choice. Yes you have questions, do you really think your child does not. He is the one who has to live with it and understand this is a lifelong thing and the more you know the more you can both help each other.

Click on the following url

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sexual_...

Read carefully: Psychological Origins and Development and especially about the Transitional Object and Behaviorism. Keep in mind when they are referring to the term sexual here they are talking about mind development not an act. And, understand that the “Transitional object’ is the diaper and that the ‘Behaviorism’ is the changing of that diaper.

What I’m reading here is that as the mother begins to pull away from total care of the child then the child begins to look at the repeated contact with the (piece of cloth aka the diaper) as the continuation of that bond. And that the repeated changing of the diaper only strengthens that bond. Keep in mind that once this occurs it never goes away. It also seems there is a window of opportunity where this takes place. Which would explain why, there are not a lot of kids who are DLs.

In the defense of the child who is and it is not every boy but for those boys who are DLs any parent who gets mad at that child is wrong.

If you read the information I posted it seems very self explanatory.

"First it happens in infancy that the baby develops the fetish".

Keep in mind this is not a bad thing many people have a fetish and they are very normal people.

Secondly it happens when the mother begins to break away from caring for the baby's every need and allows the baby to begin to explore on its own in other words allowing the baby to crawl and explore its surroundings, and only when the baby is months old.

This is actually a very important part of a baby's development. But there are some babies who want to cling to the mother's bond longer and tend to do so for a period of time until they do eventually begin the exploratory process. These babies therefore develop the fetish or the transitional object as it is called, that being the "teddy bear" or the "piece of cloth aka the diaper" as a continuation of the motherly bond. Not all babies cling to this bond so strongly it is only those that do who develop in this case the diaper fetish or become the DL. Explaining why not all boys are DLs.

The fact is these babies are just as normal as any other baby they just are trying to cling to the motherly bond a little longer. That being said that is why any mother who has a boy who is a DL really has nothing to fear he just wanted to keep close to his mother a little longer when he was a baby.

Thirdly when the baby had contact with the mother when this transition took place any time his diaper was changed it only strengthened the fetish that much more. In other words he identified the diaper and the diaper changing as a way of continuing the bond with the mother.

The fact that some boys are DLs can possibly lie dormant for years. Often a child can keep it a secret for many years. Fighting with confusion strife and thinking there is something really wrong with them. When in reality they are just as normal as any other child. Where, one child chooses a teddy bear another a blanket and the other a (piece of cloth aka a diaper).

What I'm saying here is that parents who are not aware of this fact need to understand why it happens and accept it, “Because it will never go away”. They need to understand it is developed through a sense of love of need and a sense of security in infancy.

I have liked diapers since I was a child. I can remember stealing them when I was younger. When I got a job I bought them. As an adult I would wear them when thing went wrong for security. In my 30 I had a car accident that left me incontinent and now I have to wear a diaper 24/7. How ironic is that. BUT I still enjoy my diapers. It's not sexual but I love to run around in just my diaper and t-****. I also like some one else to change my diapers and treat me like a baby some times. So take it what for what it's worth..

Does your child remain dry for intervals of two hours or longer in the course of the day? The is the time from some potty Training and to get the best consequence in only 3 days you will need to have this manual https://tr.im/L5TrZ

Start Potty Training is a plan that speedily acquired popularity. The gist of this program is that you take away all diapers, put on underwear, and don’t ever revert back to diapers.

Start Potty Training is a rather straightforward system, straight forward and simple to comply with.

O-k, now I am just responding to you, because I am bored and I am not a D-L, but I must respond. Why do you feel the need to say you love your son yet choose to humiliate him by telling the world that he has this fascination, what if people who know you and your son are reading this? It sounds to me that your son is a good kid and has many friends, but do you want to ruin that? You also say you cannot stand for this fascination, but what business is it of yours? Really. Being his mother is not a reason, and since you are his mother (and his only mother), and he is your son, though not your only son, be there for him, be proud of him of who he is, not for who you would want him to be, show him you care, show him you will not turn your back on him just because of this decision. Now, I am not one to talk, I do not have children of my own, but if I had a D-L for a child, I do not know how I would respond, but I would not love them any less. I do have my fetishes, we all do, but that does not make me any less of a person. I ended my college year with 4 AA degrees, a certificate, and a 4.0 GPA, I have valued hobbies, I am smart, I am funny, I am brave, and I am kind, I have unconditional for people and animals alike (even for those I cannot stand), and though I do not have almost any friends, anyone can be isolated and non-social, I am well respected, I am loved. Am I perfect? No. Do I have my dark secrets that others might find unlikable? Yes, don't we all? But, if I did have a fetish, such as this, I would not feel ashamed. I would not brag about it, since I will automatically know how people will respond, but I would not feel any need to do myself in or make myself feel shameful. Should we all go around wearing diapers? No, but there are people who love wearing diapers, and like it or not, they are still people. I will end it with this. I wish you, your son, and the rest of your family all well, take care.

When I was about 3 or 4 after my younger sister was born in '69 I got jealous of her and did almost anything to get back into diapers.

My Mom didn't quite get the message and even told my grandma "don't encourage him in this".

Had another sister (too many girls) in '73 that wet the bed till '80.

From '79 onward I started using my sisters cloth diapers and later in '86 bought my first pkg. of Huggies. Moved out in '89 and was able to wear diapers around my first place almost 24/7.

I now suffer from PTSD and anger because my Mom allowed sister to be diapered but not me.
