“Some adults are interested in sexual play⟳ activity in which they pretend⟳ to be helpless infants. Sometimes, the people involved in this play⟳ will wear⟳ diapers (diaperism) and drink⟳ milk from a baby bottle capped with a nipple. Sometimes, a willing female partner will permit⟳ her partner to suckle at her breast while pouring milk onto her breast to simulate lactation.”

“Homosexuality, more than any other atypical sexual interest⟳, has achieved greater social acceptance over time, and advocates for other atypical sexual interests—BDSM, cross-dressing, diaperism, etc.—understandably seek⟳ the same recognition and rights.”

“Paraphilic Infantilism, Diaperism and Pedophilia constitute major portion among them. Paraphilic infantilism denotes paraphilic desire of being a baby. Diaperism deals with fetishistic behaviour in relation to diapers and pedophilia stands for sexual attraction towards children. Behaviourally these three paraphilias do share⟳ some characteristics and show⟳ overlapping of certain features, but psychologically they are diverse.”
