Wasn’t just one there have been several shows about it over the years.

The aim for this man, is to re-create his abusive childhood, this time without the abuse, so that he feels safe. Someone having sex with him while he’s dressed as a baby would defeat the whole purpose of that.

I think he has a sexual fetish and it's on the taxpayer to fund it. I saw his picture. He's wearing a giant diaper and a woman takes care of him. I'm sure she changes his diaper, bathes him. I think he has a sexual fetish.
Tell me, how many people with an infantilism fetish have you worked with in your capacity as a psychologist? Or are you a psychiatrist?

You seem really sure about a lot of stuff regarding infantilism.

I often see/hear this term “normalized,” but still don’t fully understand the meaning of that... do you mean it will be legally recognized as a protected class, or just that people won’t call them weird, or ??? And what else would you put under this category? I’m curious.

I have a spanking fetish, and I used to like the idea of dressing up as a schoolgirl for it. My husband shut that down...he said there's NOTHING attractive to him at all about interacting sexually with a "schoolgirl," so I can dress up as a teacher or librarian or something, but not anything emulating a minor. I had never thought of it that way, but he's totally right.
As a librarian myself, I always have to laugh when people say they “dress as a librarian.” What does that mean, exactly? I wear jeans and casual blouses or tees to work every day, lol.

Although I did dress as a “stereotypical librarian” for Halloween one year, complete with a tweed skirt suit, chain for my glasses, and a grey-wig bun. Is that what you dress like for these sessions?

(I’m mostly just teasing you, but we do get a little tired of the stereotypes in our profession - especially since they are terribly outdated and irrelevant to your modern librarian)

Unfortunately for me, since I can't wash my brain, I read too much about how many people practice these sexual fetishes. People doing age play are sexually aroused by the pretend that they are having sex with a baby or a young child or a teen. to say no one does is ludicrous.

Here is a nice whitewashed version than some of the crap I read and wish I never had.

Quote:
Ageplay can be sexual. It may be mildly sexual, or very sexual. Within dominant/submissive relationships, ageplay can enhance power dynamics, and allow a partner to feel more comfortable with their dominance or submission. Sissification of men is one role within ageplay, and can add another type of dynamic to the relationship, it can include degradation and humiliation play.

Sexual variations may include among other things such as incest play, in which individuals recreate and sexualize roles within a family,[2] and Daddy's girl fetishism in which real or imagined age differences are the basis of the roleplaying and the female is portrayed as the younger partner.[3]

Ageplay is not considered pedophilia or related to pedophilia by professional psychologists.[4] Individuals who ageplay enjoy portraying children, or enjoy childlike elements typical of children present in adults.

In a BDSM type ageplay relationship, there might be roleplay that includes spankings or some sort of punishment that consenting parties agree to. This type of relationship may intersect with elements of petplay, in which one party is a "pet" to a human caregiver, although there often are differences between the items and scenarios used in each.

It’s a fetish. Dr. Phil and that man may have called it a disorder but it is not an official disorder.

How is it labeled a 'fetish' in your mind if it isn't sexual?

Definition of the word fetish:

1.
a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.
