There is a lack of research on adult baby/diaper lover (ABDL) behavior, particularly from community samples. Prior studies have not examined differences between the AB and DL subgroups in the ABDL community.
To explore whether endorsements of AB role-play enjoyment and ratings of sexual enjoyment during ABDL activity were related to parenting and attachment variables, negative mood states, and reported problems with ABDL and to explore differences by relationship status and by sexual orientation.
Data from a larger survey of an online ABDL community were analyzed. The final sample included 1,795 men and 139 women.
Participants completed questions about their ABDL interests, the short form of the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale, the Maternal and Paternal Relationship Scales designed for this study, the shortened version of the Profile of Mood States, and questions about problems with ABDL.
Greater enjoyment of role playing was associated with being raised by a single female caregiver, a more negative paternal relationship, higher attachment anxiety, and more negative mood states. Differences based on relationship status and sexual orientation were minimal. Participants who most liked no sexual activity reported higher enjoyment of role playing and lower enjoyment of sexual activity in ABDL behavior compared with other groups. Regardless of sexual orientation, men rated sexual enjoyment in ABDL higher than role-play enjoyment. Ratings of sexual interest in diapers were generally not different from ratings of sexual interest in adults.
ABDL clients who enjoy role playing and want to understand their behaviors might wish to explore family-of-origin experiences more than clients who find diapers erotic. Clients who find diapers erotic are likely to have other sexual interests. ABDL subgroups are generally comfortable with their practices and might not have a need for therapy.
Despite the lack of a comparison group, this study has a large, non-psychiatric sample of a marginalized sexual subculture and affirms that such individuals should not be readily pathologized.
In contrast to persons who find diapers erotic, AB role playing is more likely to be an interpersonal, non-sexual behavior helping some individuals decrease attachment anxiety and negative mood states. Atypical behaviors are not troubling for some individuals, regardless of the origins and motivations of the behavior. Zamboni BD.

目前，针对成人婴儿/恋物癖（ABDL）行为的研究相对较少，尤其是针对社区样本的研究。既往研究并未对 ABDL 群体中的 AB 亚组和 DL 亚组之间的差异进行探讨。
旨在探讨对 AB 角色扮演享受的认可以及 ABDL 活动期间的性享受评分是否与养育和依恋变量、负面情绪状态以及 ABDL 相关问题有关，并探讨这种关系与性关系状态和性取向之间的差异。
分析了来自 ABDL 社区的一项较大型调查的数据。最终样本包括 1795 名男性和 139 名女性。
参与者完成了有关其 ABDL 兴趣、亲密关系体验量表短表、为本次研究设计的母子关系量表、简化版心境状态问卷以及有关 ABDL 相关问题的问卷。更享受角色扮演与由单身女性照顾者抚养、更消极的父性关系、更高的依恋焦虑以及更消极的情绪状态有关。基于性关系状态和性取向的差异很小。与其他群体相比，最不喜欢无性行为的参与者报告称，在 ABDL 行为中，角色扮演的享受程度更高，而性享受程度更低。对尿布的性兴趣的评价通常与对成人的性兴趣的评价没有区别。
与喜欢角色扮演且想要了解自身行为的 ABDL 患者相比，发现尿布具有性吸引力的患者可能更希望探索原生家庭经历。发现尿布具有性吸引力的患者可能具有其他性兴趣。ABDL 亚组通常对其做法感到满意，可能不需要治疗。
尽管缺乏对照组，但本研究仍具有较大的、非精神病性边缘性亚文化群体样本，并且证实不应轻易对这些个体进行病理化。
与发现尿布具有性吸引力的人相比，AB 角色扮演更可能是一种人际间、非性的行为，帮助一些个体降低依恋焦虑和负面情绪状态。一些个体对非典型行为并不感到困扰，而不管行为的起源和动机如何。Zamboni BD。成人婴儿/恋物癖群体中的亚组特征。性医学杂志 2017；14：1421-1429。
