About "adult babies" and "littles"

[HappyAsAGrownup]

I've recently found out someone I know well has been attending events for people who identify as "littles" - ie adults who roleplay being babies, toddlers, or children up to and including teenagers. Apparently activities include crafts and colouring, being read popular children's books at 'story time' amongst others.

This is not something I know much about although I'm familiar with adult kinks and fetishes, and while most of that stuff is just not for me, I tend to think that what people do in private is their business as long as it's consensual and doesn't hurt anyone.

But this adult baby and "littles" stuff is giving me the ick, especially as some of these events are part of much bigger bdsm/ fetish party events where the wider focus is on sexual and erotic themes. I'm thinking even if the 'regular' participants aren't actually having sex, their activities are somewhat sex-adjacent, and I'm really confused about people roleplaying as children being in this environment.

I thought I'd try and educate myself a bit (in case I'd got it horribly wrong, and so I could form a more informed opinion) but the blogs and websites i found (a lot of the resources appeared to be on closed forums which I didn't wish to join) have continued to make me feel uneasy about people roleplaying as children doing so in a sexually focussed environment.

YABU - stop clutching your pearls, adults in giant onesies and custom giant reusable nappies are fine in a bdsm/ fetish club

YANBU - this is weird AF

NB this person does not have any contact with any actual children in my life ever, nor indeed any children at all on a day-to-day basis AFAIK

It's total degeneracy, a sign of a sick society but of course don't kink shame 🙄

Have you ever heard the expression ’read the room’ @DorothyPansy?

I can only assume you didn’t read the thread before you posted. Either that or you very deliberately chose this thread to post on hoping to be ‘told off’ or shamed by women as that is another of your paraphilias.

I expect there are plenty of other forums where people talk about their fetishes. This isn’t the one.

Ewwww. Well that's my appetite stone dead. Probably for days. Ewwwwwww.

Was wondering what Dotty’s deleted reply said but on reflection, it’s probably better not to know!

I was going to say something like this. This sort of thing is extremely weird but it is absolutely unacceptable to involve anyone who hasn't consented (even if they don't know about it). People who are into kink are (usually) utterly fanatical about ensuring informed consent.

I reported the original comment from Dorothy yesterday, it took this long to delete….

Some kinks deserve to be shamed.

This is one of them.

Saw this on Facebook earlier, and it made me think of this thread

Another day, another thread for the self-appointed sex police to get all of a dither about 🥱

@SocksAndTheCity honestly yes, men that fetishise children and babies are walking red flags.

I see this as adults participating in a therapy that takes them back to being a child or baby when they were being abused or neglected and they need to relive being a baby or child and have loving and caring experiences to replace those.
I also see it as them still being biologically adults with sexual needs. But it is a vulnerable group.

@ByBrightSloth how are these perverts who chose to soil themselves in public places whilst wearing a nappy vulnerable?

You have got to be joking

YANBU - kids and animals should be off limits for kink. Both are too vulnerable and (some) people are too depraved.

I see men getting their rock off shitting in nappies but there you go.

I agree with this. Some definitely cross a line.

pathetic

Looks like this is the second time this thread has been resurrected by a perv. I’ve reported the latest one.
