I strongly suspect that the incidence of weird fetishes would be quite a bit lower in a society where children were raised in a supportive and unconditionally tolerant environment. My earliest memories of the fetish date back to when I was only 3 or 4, and I probably wouldn't have it now if I'd been able to indulge and get it out of my system back then. That said, some kids are just going to be born weird and it would be very hard to prevent other kids from occasionally saying something hurtful enough to cause repression.

Another thing I was wondering about was whether or not letting a young child wear diapers would undo their potty training progress. Even if the world is more diaper accepting, would people still have their children live as potty trained full time for a while before they're allowed back into diapers?

There are various stories exploring this idea either specific to a culture or on a world scale. It's all a subset of the globalized fetish genre. Specific examples for ABDL I can name immediately are Lillikol by Sophie and Pudding, Nano's Enchantment by Takumi41, and the Diaper Dimension setting with various stories and authors. There's also Rocket Manatee's art having some vague setting where some people wear diapers and are a bit more immature into their teens and twenties. I do enjoy the idea of a world where diapers are acceptable or encouraged into the teens or young adulthood, though I'll admit personal preference for this being encouraged in girls more or it being associated with femininity so traps and effeminate men are also into it. https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/topic/74491-lillikol-complete-faq/ https://forums.abdlstoryforum.info/t/nanos-enchantment/8463/42 https://forums.abdlstoryforum.info/tag/diaper-dimension https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/search/&tags=diaper%20dimension >>8346 I agree, things being taboo is part of what drives interest in everything from weird fetishes to drugs. The idea of something forbidden or seen as wrong by most is part of the appeal. In some cases it's much more direct like with humiliation, exhibitionism, or just the thrill from the idea of potentially being caught doing something taboo. On one hand if society in general was more open and tolerant about weird fetishes and sexual interests we might have people with mental and emotional problems concerning sex and intimacy, on the other the lack of tolerance and taboo nature is what makes it fun. I think this is likely related to Rule 43: "The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt it." At the same time though, one of the major theories on how fetishes develop is that at some point the object of the fetish and some form of pleasure are introduced early on in development which eventually results in permanent connection with sex. There are a lot of people that have reported peculiar non-sexual interests that became fetishes when puberty hit, not just ABDL. There would still certainly be niche fetishes in a more sexually liberal world and we might actually see more of that sort of thing because of the things that could cause it being more present in society. The thing is a lot of what fetishes are is simple imprinting and conditioning early on. Some might be more susceptible to the effect (and there are certain mental disorders where sexual obsession of some form is more common), but it should seem obvious that no one is born with a sexual obsession involving specific inanimate objects as they would never have that kind of thing if never exposed to it though they might be attracted something else in the environment. Really a lot of this boils down to humans being more complicated than animals and as a result being able to have their sexual targeting go wrong more. Even in animals you occasionally see them engaging in stuff beyond simple homosexuality that is not conducive to actual reproduction such as trying to have sex with inanimate objects, non sexually mature individuals that can't reproduce, dead things, and non compatible species. >>8408 There's plenty of people in the ABDL community that experimented on themselves with this and reported it does seem that it is possible to reverse toilet training over a long enough period, but this might be partly related to how hypnosis stuff in real life only works on any level if the person thinks or wants it to work or is in a very suggestible state such as that induced by certain drugs. In the latter case of someone being drugged it just wears off when the drug does, but it's not a reliable thing in the first place.

>>8344 I'd imagine it be a rather stinky world. What would disgust normalfags in this reality would be accepted as norm so it can be quite hard to judge.

>>8412 Pretty good post. Got more?

>>8418 And thus a diaper world naturally entails a normalfag-free world. This is the one route to utopia, with the one side-effect that some will have a smelly fully diaper quite often.

>>8412 I've looked around and it's hard to find stories that feature the mild level of alternate reality I'm thinking of. Stuff where not everybody knows diaper fetishism, but it's easy for somebody of any age to get into it if they know about it and want to, and there's nothing wrong with mentioning it out of the blue.

>>8450 Starting to think would have to some sort of society based on the rulings of /monarchy/ influencing things from her padded throne. Makes me wonder if someone actually altered the timeline, put subtle hints into culture, would diapers be the socially acceptable thing or to put it more bluntly would not wearing diapers be socially unacceptable?

>>8495 I think the cost of diapers would be prohibitive for a lot of society even if they weren't put off by the whole "sitting in a puddle of your own waste" thing. Culture is shaped by the material conditions of the world, and when you're struggling to put food on the table you're not going to want to pay out for adult disposable diapers or spend time and energy washing and drying cloth ones. I could see it being a brief fad among the wealthy classes. "We're so rich and powerful that our daughter doesn't even need to use the toilet. We can just have our servants change her diapers and wipe up her mess."

>>8537 While I would expect the average disposable diaper to be more advanced and probably cheaper, this makes sense unless it's a setting where incontinence can't be trained away in humans or just one sex of humans or whatever species this is. Birds for example don't have a muscled sphincter like mammals do so normally just go wherever. I would think in a world where incontinence that can't be corrected is common most poor people with it would be either using some form of cloth diapers or just going wherever and cleaning up afterwards as needed simply for economic reasons. The latter is basically what is done in a lot of rural areas in poorer countries for actual children. The kids just wear some sort of open garment that lets stuff drop until toilet trained. They're either cleaned up after if indoors or it's just left if outside. Middle to upper class people would be the ones to be able to afford disposable diapers as it developed. If it's mostly a cultural thing only people who would bother would be those rich enough. It could make sense as a status or class symbol of some sort. I can't find it at the moment, but I recall what I think was a globalization thread here or back on 8kun where someone mentioned the idea of spoiled rich kids and teens who are so pampered that they're cared for like babies by maids including being fed by wet nurses and pushed around in strollers along with diapers. It'd basically be an extreme form of luxury and not having to bother to do things the less wealthy have to deal with that already exists.

A lot of this kink is humiliation, so odds are... it just wouldn't work. That said, society is now accepting kink to the point LGBTQIAPK literally has "kink" at the end. And governments now realize that making this stuff repressed just means other governments will shake down their citizens and compromise their intelligence. So... we're kinda en route to that future anyway. Realistically, people just won't be bothered by it. If someone wants to wear footie pajamas at my office, and a diaper, I don't care. Unless they're sales or interacting with people, big diff. Children have issues because diapers at school would mean other adults changing them, or them changing themselves. It would not be all sunshine and lemon drops. Imagine a bunch of dirty children all needing changes at school. As an ABDL with desires in early childhood... ick. No. Just no.

>>30471 >A lot of this kink is humiliation For you it is. Speak for yourself. I don't care much for humiliation shit, I like diapers cause they look and feel fantastic and enjoyable. >Imagine a bunch of dirty children all needing changes at school. Hot.

>>30474 >>30506 both of you jail

>>30471 Anecdotally, age of potty training in "first world" countries (mostly US and Europe) has been steadily rising. Not anecdotally, diaper companies are interested in children not potty training and wetting the bed for longer periods of time. And they do produce bigger and bigger products for some demographic... (Well, maybe child obesity is playing a role) Neither anecdotally, diapers have a big negative environmental impact, and diaper consumption keeps rising around the world. Although majority of people don't give a fuck about shitty diaper mountains. So... Yeah. A bunch of elementary schoolers shitting themselves, and underpaid school nurses changing them isn't as outlandish as you might think. Next generation of abdls is gonna be whack.

>>8344 >Wouldn't most of us have turned out a lot differently if we were able to freely wear diapers(within practical bounds) as children? Nah, if anything I would probably gone deeper
