General question for you all

[Terry]

Hi everyone,

Obviously this group is aimed at helping our members who have
difficulties in getting family, friends or even wife/husband to
understand what the fetish is and how it affects you.

I'm aware that some of you members don't have these problems as much
as others, so lets look at how you members managed to bring up the
subject to your close ones and how it was accepted or taken at the
time.

Was it easy for you to talk openly about a fetish which to some may
seem strange? What affect has it had on your normal lifestyle? Do
you still feel guilty or perverted when you indulge in the fetish, and
if so in what way? Finally, do you still have to hide diapers,
plastic pants etc: or are you able to keep them in some place where
anyone could find them?

I'm sure the answers you members give who don't have the problems
others unfortunately do will be of significant interest and may be a
big help in overcoming their own difficulties. So please give these
questions some thought and let's hear from you.

Terry

I am a gay man who lives alone, so I don't have the problem so do.
However, I was married before coming out and have three adult
children. I have a wonderful open relationship with all of them, but
I have not shared my love of diapers with them. I guess because I
don't see the need to, but if they were to discover my diapers and
plastic pants I would have to address it. My sense is that we could
talk about it and it would be ok even if they thought it strange. So,
having said all of that, I realize it is not the same situation as
someone who has a spouse/mate who doesn't know.

I think it all depends upon the quality of each individual
relationship. I know I could not have shared with my ex-wife because
she has a way of applying her own idea of what is "right" and this
would not be part of it. She would not have been open to trying to
understand. If that is how the relationship is, then sadly one must
continue to hide.

I don't feel guilty or perverted nor do I think anyone should feel
that way, but the openness and ability for good conversation between
two people will dictate how they should proceed.

All of this rambling is probably not very helpful, but they are my
thoughts at the moment to Terry's questions.
