Men Who Wear Diapers.

[The Devil Man]

This might be more suited to EoEo but I can't decide, so I'll throw it in here instead.

This morning, for whatever reason, I was watching a repeat of The Jerry Springer Show on TV and they had this episode which was solely about Men Who Wear Diapers.

These guys wear Diapers in their own spare time. They are normal, every day people with regular jobs, like being truckers, doctors, businessmen, whatever but in their spare time, they like to wear Diapers. Here's a picture of one:



So my question, which The Jerry Springer Show failed to answer, is exactly what propels people to do these kinds of things? Is it even 'normal'? How would you react if you discovered someone you personally knew and respected enjoyed such activities? (I think I'd be horrified).

I can't quite understand what it is that motivates people to behave in such a way, but at the same time, I feel guilty... is it right of me to judge someone in this way?

What are your opinions?

[Madame Adequate]

No, it's not right of you to judge people in that way. So someone does something unusual in their free time. As long as everyone involved has given informed consent, there is nothing wrong with it.

Whatever blows their skirt up, as Sammie would say.

As for what propels them, well what propels anything unusual like that? I don't know whether this is a sexual thing or not, but there are plenty of nonsensical paraphilias around the place. Lots of people do lots of strange things; it's often difficult or impossible to know WHY one enjoys something, only that one does.

They're sick, and I don't mean that in a demeaning or derogatory way, but they really are.

I realize that no one's perfect, but we all possess a certain amount of common sense, and these people have lost theirs... Or, perhaps they never had any to begin with.

They disgust me.

[Madame Adequate]

What is sick? Who are they harming? What is disgusting? Where - aside perhaps from their bravery in admitting they enjoy something unusual - is their lack of common sense?

I have dated guys with fetishes before, and it is like anything else, you have to decide what you are comfortable with in the relationship.

Now, if I am not in a relationship with someone, I don't really care what they do with the door closed. We all have our own little things, and I don't want everyone in my business, so I am going to stay out of theirs.

Are we compensating for something here? Anyways, can you honestly sit there and tell me that you feel or understand these people in any way? Sure they harm no one by having these sick abnormities, but then why choose to sit and pose for a picture?

They obviously have no respect for people who don't want to see this.

Understanding is not required to let people go about their business without being called disgusting or sick.

Edit: And yeah, because they walked into your house and forced you to watch them wearing a diaper.

Edit2: And you obviously have no respect for people who don't want to see your close-minded fearfulness.

Huxley speaks truth. I'm not going to judge people who do that, since they're not harming anyone, but for me personally, I would not date someone like that.

Even though Raistlin is such a immature baby jerk that he should probably have a diaper.

[Muse]

Devil Man asked us for our opinions, and I gave you mine. If anything I said offended you in any contrast of the subject at hand, then I apologize. But if you're offended by the fact that I think it's disgusting and sick, then I don't see a reason to apologize.

Wearing Diapers save a trip to the toliet or whatsoever.

PS: It is a trend to post in small little text here.

I am like Sephiroth with all my cute lil clones.

[Levian]

I don't know who wears a diaper, but some people could definitely use a diaper change. That would explain grumpy customers anyway.

[Quindiana Jones]

Levian wears used diapers on his face.

I think it's hawt, and by that I mean I have no problem with people who have that fetish, but I would never do it myself, and I don't think I could be friends with someone like that. Call me shallow, but it does creep me out a bit.

[Old Manus]

Where the hell do they get them in their size?

[Levian]

Where the hell do they get them in their size?

Online. 100 diapers for 66 dollars. Not bad if I must say so myself.
