MommieSara, you are right about psychologists. They only know the "academics" of who and what we are, not the true feelings and experiences.
MommieShirley, I think I will start getting my thoughts together. As a long time DL, I think I should know something a bit about this subject.
I will need to research more of the AB aspect. It's not like I'm unfamiliar after so many years, it's just not what I have been into.
The AB lifestyle needs to be described though especially since it is a large part of the community. Not to mention there are AB/DLs--a combination of both aspects.
I want to write in a very caring and understanding manner.
I know very well we can't be "outed". I sure wouldn't want that even though there are those who know--in real life and here.
I will have to write from experience "in general" if I do this.
I think I would like to write a sort of "user's manual" to the AB/DL lifestyle. I think it would be informative and let people know we a re just like others in the "left side" of sexuality.
Hey, we just like diapers, and like me, I like to be "mommied" I just love the thought of being taken care of and diapered.
I sure don't mind a little "spanking" for wearing "boy" underwear either

And so on!
