![]() DSM-5 defines paraphilia as: “any powerful and persistent sexual interest other than sexual interest in copulative or pre-copulative behaviour with phenotypically normal, consenting adult human partners” (pp 794). Furthermore, the notion of sexual deviation changes with regard to different historical ages and, in its definition, is influenced by socio-cultural variables. Typical and atypical sexuality is difficult to examine due to the intimate and variable nature of the study. Moreover, ADBL behaviours seem to assume different functions and meanings. Conclusion: Specific kinds of parental modes, anxiety traits, and enuresis seem to be the source of ABDL interests. Moreover, associations were observed between current or previous ABDL phenomena enuresis and negative mood states. Results: The data indicated that adults with ABDL showed the presence of anxious traits and recollections of parental rejection during childhood. Finally, they filled out the Adult Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire, to evaluate their recollections of parental perceived rejection, and the Personality Assessment Questionnaire, to evaluate the primary psychological aspects related to parental rejection. Then, the participants filled out the Cognitive Behaviour Assessment 2.0 battery to obtain anamnestic information regarding their psychological, medical, and personal history and to evaluate primary psychological dimensions in clinical practice. Participants were first given an ad hoc questionnaire, which was devised to obtain information about the anamnestic variables related to ABDL. Method: An internet-based study was conducted and it involved 38 adults aged between 18 and 74 years ( M = 34.95 SD = 12.25). ![]() It was also assumed that there would be differences in ABDL profiles based on the age of appearance of their first Adult Baby-Diaper Lover (ABDL) fantasies. ![]() We hypothesized that ABDL phenomena were associated with general psychological maladjustment and with an experience of parental rejection during childhood. Aim: This study was conceived to investigate the functions of ABDL behaviours and the characteristics of ABDL in an online Italian community sample. Background: Knowledge of the Adult Baby-Diaper Lovers (ABDL) phenomena is quite recent and there are, of yet, few studies on this phenomenon. ![]()
