So apparently, “Adult Baby/Diaper Lovers” are a thing and how dare we stigmatize them.
The Stranger tells the sad story — no sarcasm here on my part — of a young man called “Smook” who grew up poor and had “little access to children’s toys or television, and no friends to play with.”
It all sounds genuinely horrible. But Smook’s reaction as a grown-up wasn’t to leave all that behind, but to indulge in being a baby again with a local Adult Baby/Diaper Lovers group.
We’re also treated to the pants-warming story of “Leo,” another member of an Adult Baby/Diaper Lovers group, who has spent “eight years embracing this side of himself and exploring Ottawa’s AB/DL community.” The safe spaces the groups share give members “both the opportunity to express their true selves, form strong friendships with people who understand them, and feel loved.”
When does it stop………….
