Fear and Joy: a life in and out of diapers


Book Description

We all have a tale to tell about how we started wearing nappies (or diapers!) and each tale is different. There are varying themes, but there is the one consistent one that diapers 'called to us' when we were young and that attraction grew to become a 'siren call'. We were helpless in the embrace of that cloth diaperor plastic disposable that for reasons we didn't understand - and maybe never did - drew us to wear and wet them. For some, it was part of wanting to be a baby again and for others, a response to extended bedwetting. For others still, it was just the nappy; just the feel of its comfort and security. As children, these feelings are tough to handle, never-mind understand. Adults don't understand and most react badly... or worse. This 60,000 word, illustrated book is the story of one UK boy growing up in the 70s and 80s as a late bedwetter whose attraction to nappies has remained to him up until this day.




Becoming Me: The Journey of Self-acceptance (Diaper Version)


Book Description

Perhaps the biggest battle for many ABDLs is not the acceptance and understanding of others, but the acceptance of themselves. Good mental health is built upon a positive self-image and an understanding of who we are and an acceptance of that. Self-acceptance is not as much a destination as it is, a journey. Dylan Lewis addresses this fundamental issue and offers insight and guidance for Adult Babies seeking to traverse life with a better image of themselves. Perhaps when we accept ourselves better, others will find it easier to accept us as well.




The Adult Baby Identity: A Self-help Guide (Diaper Version)


Book Description

Dylan Lewis' fourth book of the Adult Baby Identity quadrilogy: a self-help guide. Knowing who we are as individuals is the most important journey in our lives and for many, it is the most difficult one. Even for people we call ‘vanilla’, with no apparent kinks and oddities, it is a herculean task. But when you are an Adult Baby, it is a vastly more complex mission. Add being sissy to the mix and we are already pushing uphill and failing miserably. But if we don’t know who we are, we act as if we are someone we are not. We try to create a personality not fully our own. We create masks and in doing so, we create problems for ourselves and others around us. This is the true value of books like this and others along the same vein. ABDL is not like other identity problems. It is unique, different and requires a perspective all of its own. It is not about gender – although gender issues can be involved. It is not about sexual preference – although that can be involved as well. It is primarily about age, and being powerfully driven back to a time of life most have left behind and yet, we still literally inhabit.




The Adult Baby Identity - Coming out as an Adult Baby (Diaper Version)


Book Description

AB Discovery is pleased to announce a new book, the first of a four-book series, from acclaimed author, Dylan Lewis: "The Adult Baby Identity - Coming Out as an Adult Baby" Who we are and who we understand ourselves to be is of immense importance to us and yet, as Adult Babies, we are often flummoxed by that question.

If you are an Adult Baby, this book is recommended to help you understand not just who you are, but also your value and place as an AB in the world. You are not common, but you are normal. You are poorly understood by the world, but you don't need to be poorly understood by yourself.

And in the end, it is about overcoming the past and embracing the future, diapered and safe.




A Baby For Felicity (Rubber Pants Version


Book Description

Oliver was an adult baby and unlike most, he got a lot of opportunities to dress up and diaper up as the baby he always wanted to be. One day when Dave, an old friend, rang to see how he was getting on, he spoke not to Oliver, but to Felicity. She told him an impossible tale of how 'Ollie' was now living as a baby. He thought it was a scam or a lie. But it wasn't. Trapped by his own infantile desires, Felicity had indeed, partly turned Oliver into a baby, but how far would she go and how far would he let her? And what would her mother and two sisters say when they discovered that Felicity now had a baby - but not by traditional means? Read on to find out.

Living Happily As An Adult Baby


Book Description

Understanding. Knowledge. Insight. It is the goal of most people and humanity in general to understand and to gain knowledge. To understand our natural world. To understand space. To understand those things so tiny we can never see them. We want to understand what other people are saying, insight into what they are feeling and what makes them tick. For most people, it is natural to want to understand more about a wide variety of topics and disciplines. Perhaps the most important understanding of them all is the knowledge of self. Adult babies have traditionally not fared well in the area of understanding of ourselves. The few professional attempts to explain ABDL behaviour and thinking have been less than helpful and often insulting and deeply offensive. Being described as a paraphilia alongside and adjacent to paedophilia and other serious disorders has been the nightmare that has haunted the community for a generation. Slowly however, the light has been dawning on the extraordinary world of the adult baby. The first step was the recognition that being an adult baby is no mere affectation, fetish or odd choice of behaviour. It was the understanding that the baby self is a genuine and subjectively real identity. Not a thing, not a concept or a feeling, but an identity. A few professionals have belatedly drifted onto the scene and made a few inroads, but they have been well behind the small group of hard-working ABDLs themselves who have sought to build a body of understanding on who we are. Knowing who we are is the key to success, happiness and the ability to move forward. The works of B. Terrance Grey, Rosalie and Michael Bent led the way to building an intellectual basis of understanding of who Adult babies are. Then came Dylan Lewis, whose canon of work in this area has no peer. This new book – Living Happily as an Adult Baby – makes a promise in its title that is almost obscene in its arrogance. Adult Babies have often struggled with the power of their baby identity and happiness - especially long-term happiness – has often eluded them. This work is commended to all adult babies, their family and friends as it seeks to further humanity’s understanding of this most complex identity structure. The Adult Baby.

Father for Life: A Journey of Joy, Challenge, and Change


Book Description

In this ground-breaking book, Armin Brott presents the stages of fatherhood with the same thoroughness, accessibility, and humor that have made his critically acclaimed New Father series of books the most popular fatherhood guides in the country. He offers a wealth of information and practical tips, incorporating the wisdom of experts, studies about parental development, and his own extensive interviews with hundreds of fathers. Because fatherhood is a progression, the chapters are organized chronologically and describe a father's physical and emotional growth, how he influences a child at every age, and how a child impacts a father's evolution in turn. Brott covers everything from such general issues as how to juggle work and family roles, how to affect the kind of person your child becomes, and when to encourage his individuality and independence to such specific topics as how to get to know your baby, what to do if your teen uses drugs, and how to cope when adult children return home. Illustrated throughout with New Yorker style cartoons that underscore the universality of the joys and woes of parenting, Father for Life is brimming with insights and advice, and is an indispensable, lifelong guide—not only for every dad, but for every mom and child as well.
