Diaper lover

"
Diaper lover" (or DL for short) is the popular term for a person who feels a strong desire to wear or use
diapers without
physiological necessity. This
paraphilia is differentiated from
infantilism in that those of the latter category are also focused with returning to babyhood in ways other than by wearing diapers. These desires are not in any way related to
pedophilia or
infantophilia.
In many cases, the desire for these acts is of a sexual nature, in which case it is classed as a
sexual fetish; but in other cases it is non-sexual, where the wearer derives a sense of comfort and safety from wearing diapers, and may not even use them.
It is also very possible that someone with this fetish may or may not want to go to a full intent of use of the diapers. Some might simply want to look at images of other people taking part in the fetish, or drawings made by artists depicting this fetish.
It can be common for a diaper lover to feel ashamed and isolated in their desires and most try to hide this desire from others. Until the rise of online services and the
Internet, few persons interested in the subject had contact with any others. The
CompuServe Adult Human Sexuality Forum established an "Adult Babies" section in
1987, which may have been the first online community based on sharing interests similar to this. Today, there are many websites dedicated to various facets of the fetish.
