This study examined qualitative data on 1,795 male, 139 female, and 78 transgender members of the adult baby/diaper lover (ABDL) online community. Using grounded theory, the analyses examined a description of ABDL practices, explored evidence of subgroups within the ABDL community, and examined the degree to which ABDL behavior involves sexual motivations. Overall, the data suggest there is a fair amount of diversity within the ABDL community. Most participants enjoy wearing diapers or engaging in age regression (as babies or children), and the importance of incontinence may vary. ABDL practices can reflect bondage play for some individuals and a way to cope with medical problems for others. Overall, there is modest evidence of more than two ABDL subgroups. Although a large number of individuals do not see their ABDL practices as sexual in nature, there is a clear contingent that describes sexual motivations. For some, sex during ABDL activity violates conceptions of baby play. Nonsexual motivations include a desire to relax or be carefree as well as a desire to be nurtured. Some diaper lovers and adult babies have the same goals but achieve them in different ways. ABDL practices may be as diverse as seemingly typical sexual behaviors.
本研究对 1795 名男性、139 名女性和 78 名跨性别成年婴儿/尿布爱好者（ABDL）在线社区成员的定性数据进行了研究。本研究使用扎根理论，分析了 ABDL 行为的描述，探讨了 ABDL 社区内的亚群体证据，并考察了 ABDL 行为涉及性动机的程度。总的来说，数据表明 ABDL 社区内存在相当大的多样性。大多数参与者喜欢穿尿布或参与年龄倒退（婴儿或儿童），而尿失禁的重要性可能有所不同。ABDL 行为对于一些人来说可能反映了束缚行为，而对于另一些人来说可能是应对医疗问题的一种方式。总的来说，有一定的证据表明存在两个以上的 ABDL 亚群体。尽管很多人认为他们的 ABDL 行为不是性的，但也有一部分人明确描述了性动机。对于一些人来说，ABDL 活动期间的性行为违反了婴儿游戏的概念。非性动机包括放松或无忧无虑的愿望，以及被呵护的愿望。一些尿布爱好者和成年婴儿有相同的目标，但他们的实现方式不同。ABDL 行为可能与看似典型的性行为一样多样化。
