"Diaper lover" is the popular term for a person who feels a strong desire to wear and use diapers without physiological necessity. This paraphilia is differentiated from infantilism in that those of the latter category are also focussed with returning to babyhood in ways other than by wearing diapers. A vast majority of diaper lovers are male.
A desire to wear diapers seems often to be first created whilst a person is still at a very young age, during periods of emotional turbulence in their family, or a reluctance to be potty trained. In many cases, though, there is no apparent cause. Before puberty these desires are largely dormant, but during the period of approx 10-15 years of age the person becomes aware of an attraction to diapers, and sometimes will act upon this attraction.
In some cases the desire is of a sexual nature, in which case it may be classed as a fetish; in others it is non-sexual, the wearer deriving a sense of comfort and safety from wearing diapers.
It is most common for a diaper lover to feel ashamed and isolated in their desires. Until the rise of the internet, few had any contact to others of the same persuasion. As of 2004, there are numerous websites on the topic; it is among such websites that the terms diaper lover and adult baby arose.
