Dear Fellow DPFers,
As DPF keeps growing, my involvement becomes more and more 'total', up to 14 hours a day. That's a gain and a loss for me. It's a gain because DPF has become a successful full time 'business'. It's a loss because I miss some personal involvement with people I love.
Like you, I need to correspond and 'share' with others. I love when you write to me. Sometimes your letters sound like you think you are always writing to the 'big' guy who 'runs' DPF. The truth is sometimes it's just 'a little boy' who opens your letters and he's disappointed. He wishes you would write to him too.
To me the world does not always seem to be the way it appears to be on the surface. For example, an editorial in yesterday's newspaper said that "drug production, trafficking and drug abuse levels continue to rise all over the world". Now, I'll bet that very few DPFers are drug abusers. Why? Because I think the pleasures, the fantasies and the sexual 'release' we get from wearing wet diapers fulfills needs that some people satisfy with drugs. Wouldn't the whole world be better off in diapers rather than being high on cocaine?
From the time we are little children the importance of financial success is drilled into our young minds. Yet research indicates (as quoted from American Health Magazine) that the men and women most likely to succeed pay a price for success. These men tend to feel hollow and alone while these women doubt their abilities and subconsciously sabotage themselves. The same behavior that helps these people succeed (drive, competitiveness, rigidity) tends to ruin their relationships with other people. Wouldn't it be nice if these people could blend their drives for 'success' with softer, more nurturing and helpless feelings? Might a nice, warm, wet diaper help them balance their lives better? It works for many of us!
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy and happy life, and scientific research has shown that touching and being touched increases physical and mental health. Research has shown that babies who are not 'touched' and cuddled actually stop maturing and become physically and mentally deformed. We never lose our need for touching, caressing and fondling - this behavior that produces mental and physical health. Isn't changing diapers one of the most gratifying ways of being touched and fondled?
Well, I've finished talking about how to balance one's life with a warm, wet diaper. I think I'll squeezed a nice, warm load into my wet night diapers that I'm wearing this beautiful morning. Ahhh! That feels nice! Feeling it there now reminds me that I wanted to tell you about a new kind of diaper that I found and love. Today I'm wearing a diaper that is thick and bulky and babyish. When I wear this kind of diaper I feel like a toddler.
But some mornings I wake up feeling different. I want to wear a thinner diaper, a diaper that can I can easily hide under a pair of tight fitting waterproof pants. Over my thin diapers I put on a pair of the latest style boy's shorts, you know, the kind with two different color legs. Then I put on a tee-shirt with a skateboard design. When I pick up the DPF mail I ride my scooter or my skateboard or BMX bike . When I wear these diapers under my shorts I feel like an 11-year-old 6th grader (who still wets his pants).
Wouldn't it be great if DPF sold a diaper that grade-schoolers or teenagers might wear to school. Well, I found it! It's called BABYKINS. Like all DPF products, it, too, is made by a real baby-diaper company. This amazing new diaper comes in sizes to fit all size babies, from infants to toddlers to grade-schoolers to teenagers to fully grown babies. It'll fit YOU too. I'm glad I found it, and hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Love, Tommy
We are happy to say that the 'Volunteer' Program which we began a few issues ago is producing some amazing results. From the beginning we hoped that people would contact the volunteer, and the volunteer would have an opportunity to tell them about DPF and to make a new friend. We didn't expect the number of letters we are receiving telling us how pleased and excited people are to receive the 'Volunteer' letter and how they now want to become DPF members.
Remember, our files contain the names and addresses of thousands of people who have written to DPF but have never joined. In many cases it could be an understandable lack of trust or a fear of the unknown. Our 'Volunteer' letter seems to get through to many of these people and they are finally thinking seriously about joining DPF. It proves that a sincere offer of friendship and confidentiality can bring many people out of the closet and into our wonderful world. For example, Frankie from San Jose wrote us a 10 page letter outlining his entire life's history from his childhood to his marriage. Now Frankie wants to join DPF as soon as he gets a PO box. Others have expressed their joy to learn about our sincerity and have asked us to send them the latest information about the club, which of course we are glad to do.
If you've been thinking about becoming a volunteer,
please do so. You'll help bring fun and the pleasure of DPF membership
to others and make some new friends for yourself too. Simply
send us $3 to cover the cost of searching our computer and preparing
the personal letters that will be sent to a minimum of three people
who live in your area, your town, or even your neighborhood.
IT WORKS!!!
We have received letters from members complaining about a chain letter they have received from other DPF members. Apparently the DPF Roster is being used to help circulate this letter. Many members are really 'pissed off' at this.
Chain letters are illegal. DPF strongly disapproves of the use of the Roster for this purpose. If you receive a chain letter in the mail, we strongly urge you to send it (or a copy) to us. A DPFer's name on a chain letter can result in permanent deletion from DPF membership.
Dear Tommy, I'm happy to inform you of my good fortune. I recently won a contest from Miller Beer and ended up on a float in the Mardi Gras parade along with a number of celebrity football players. The highlight of the ride occurred when we turned on a street noted for singles and I saw a guy with nothing on but a make-shift diaper. A block and a half later there was an extremely cute guy wearing an Attends. I was tempted to get off the float and spend the rest of the day changing him. He waved and smiled at me when I tossed him some very expensive beads and some doubloons. Too bad I didn't have my phone number written down or I would have thrown that too.
Please tell other DPFers about Mardi Gras. One can wear anything one wants on Mardi Gras day including diapers, plastic pants, baby clothes, etc. This is not an uncommon occurrence. You can also wear jocks, briefs, g-strings, leather, or anything else your heart desires. The sky's the limit. You won't be arrested for anything except drugs. If anyone is interested in attending Mardi Gras 1989, it's necessary to make hotel and airline reservations a long time in advance. Next year Mardi Gras is February 7th. If anyone wants more information they can contact me. Kevin D.
When the U.S.S. Forrestal docked in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, a couple of sailors got drunk and stumbled into a department store. One of the sailors decided he had to go to the bathroom and pissed on 60 shirts in an exclusive men's department. The damage was over $3000. Needless to say the department store and the Navy were 'pissed off' (if not 'pissed on'). Not mentioned in the story was Kevin's very logical suggestion that the naughty sailor who caused this damage be put into diapers and plastic pants to prevent such occurences in the future. That makes sense to us. In this day of big federal deficits, a few diapers are less expensive than 60 men's shirts. Besides, Kevin's suggestion has the ring of good old solid Navy discipline, doesn't it?
Dear Tommy and Marky, I have lots of the new "Rubber Ducky" panties and I really think they are super. If you would have the same company make a romper suit with elastic waist and puffed sleeves, I'm sure it would be a good seller. This suit would insure against leakage while lying in bed but would be very practical because of the breathable nature of the nylon material. Love, Bernice. Neosho, MO 64850. (Dear Bernice, That romper suit sounds like a good idea and I'm sure other DPFers would like it too. Unfortunately, the company that makes "Rubber Duckies" is a REAL baby pants manufacturer. They do not make 'Baby-Adult' clothes and would probably be surprised at your suggestion. Maybe someone else.... Love, Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I though I'd write to let you know that I think the new printing process of the Newsletters is great. The ability to make nice, clear photos is a big plus, and the new method of printing the member addresses for use in a loose-leaf binder is great. The new products you are putting out sound great. It's nice to be able to find a single source for baby related items. I wish you success in your new endeavor.
I'm very satisfied with the tapes I received some months ago. I ordered the bedwetting tape and have been very satisfied with the results. I now wake up most mornings with wet diapers and also find it much easier to relax and wet than ever before. They seem to work especially well if used just prior to bedtime, but I also find even if I don't use the tapes but just think about the young girl's instructions that 'I'm free to wet the bed or my diapers', it has the desired effect. Thanks and good luck, Jeff Brown, PO Box 9321, Trenton, NJ 08650, . p.-1285. Mail-Box # 1152. (Thanks, Jeff. You just made my day. Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I'll soon be living by myself and will be able to really explore wearing diapers as I won't worry about hiding them. I'm anxious to see what responses I get to my ad. I wrote to Bob Staver in Madison and have received several nice letters from him. I also wrote Paulee in Arkansas and he wrote back a wonderful letter. I'm already making friends and finding that it really helps to relate my thoughts to people who understand. It helps ease my confusion. I'm glad I joined DPF. Love, Byron , Milwaukee, WI 53215. (Dear Byron, I'm so very happy for you. I'm sure you will find that being able to wear diapers with 'freedom' will be most pleasurable. Love, Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I've had some dealings with Joanne ******* listed in the Roster. She's a giant loser. She said she wouldn't discuss anything without money, so I foolishly sent her $20. I tried to talk to her (no sex talks) after that and she was extremely rude and hung up on me, claiming that I never sent any money. Cori, , Garland, TX 75040. (Due to similar complaints, Joanne Weakland has been removed from DPF membership).
Dear Tommy, I just received your information and catalogue and enclose my membership application. I'm glad you liked my story about my teenage experiences.
My current boyfriend, Andrew, is 19. He is a student. I don't see him all that often but when he stays over we have a great time. He loves to wet himself and now does it quite often. He is very shy though and hasn't yet dirtied himself in front of me, although he has done it a couple of times when he is alone. I wonder if the hypnotic tapes will help.
The thing that worries me is that he isn't really babyish. He isn't interested in baby clothes. I'm not even sure how he will react to diapers and plastic pants. At the moment he wears shorts or briefs to bed and has a rubber sheet to stop him from soaking the mattress. He likes to be treated like a 10/12 year old, for whom bedwetting is a source of embarrassment and humiliation. I wonder if the tapes won't make him too 'young' to get the same thrill out of being changed and cleaned.
I'm always very pleased to have US visitors, either boys or daddy/son teams. Casual overnight stays are OK or if anyone wants to use my flat as their base for a holiday in London. I have a spare room which I will rent at a very reasonable rate. I had an American student stay last summer and he had a great time sharing a bed and everything else with Andrew. He was very good for Andrew, being much less inhibited about wetting and sex in general. He also learned about enemas which he never experienced before. I also had visits from an American soldier who is based in Britain. He looks very tough and no one would guess that he is a completely passive little boy in bed. He likes to tell his Teddy Bear what he is going to do to it, which are really the things that he wants me to do to him. Great game! Best Wishes, William , London , ENGLAND. p-this issue.
(Dear William, Thanks for a wonderful letter. Marky and I are truly sorry that you didn't join DPF last year. We were in England last summer and would have loved to spend time with you. About Andrew, you have a most fantastic opportunity. The Freedom Tape and the Bedwetting Tape you ordered were right to start with. They will help Andrew with his shyness and help make a real bedwetter out of him. Next you should try the Complete Baby Tape; it could work wonderfully for him (help him learn to mess his diaper). Many guys would love the opportunity you have with your "10-12 year old". The Complete Baby tape can be 'customized' so that Andrew will not actually become a baby, but will be a 12 year old who still can be humiliated by being 'treated' like a baby for wetting or messing his pants or bed. Hope you have success. Love, Tommy.
Want to do something a little different this weekend? Buy a potty chair, order some DPF training pants, and get a copy of "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day". By Sunday afternoon, you'll find out how much fun you can have not wearing diapers - for a change. I know, because my "mommy" spent two wonderful days trying to "train" me - with limited success, of course.
None of this would have been possible without the new DPF Training Pants. Soft, white, fluffy, they're the super-absorbent solution for you accident prone toddlers. The extra thickness and the elastic waist and legs make these trainers seem a bit different from the ones you'd buy in a department store. But pull them on, and you'll notice the extra layers in the right place, the babyish appearance, and the comfort.
The trainers are inexpensive in quantities, and they wash well. Even my dirty training pants washed out fluffy and stain-free. Although I never wet enough for the pants to soak thru, you might wear plastic pants over your trainers to avoid a real "accident". Order two or three pair today and see what I mean. These DPF training pants are one product that can add a whole new twist to your big baby lifestyle.
Dear Tommy, I thoroughly enjoyed the Photo Album. The pictures of the guys in it were very cute. I've already written several letters to some of the guys in the photos. It was a great idea to publish the album; it lets you see exactly who you are writing. The quality of the photos was excellent.
I'd like to have my picture printed in the next Photo Album, since this one was such a success. There is one slight problem. I'm a Daddy, and I do not like to wear diapers and plastic pants. I'd rather put my little boys in them. Would there be a problem with publishing my picture since I'm not in diapers. Kevin , New Orleans, LA 70179.
(Dear Kevin, Noooo Problem!! When I asked a whole bunch of 'little boys' if they would like to see a picture of you in the Photo Album, they had all wet their pants even before they had a chance to say yes!)
Once again, DPF wants to dispel dangerous myths about AIDS, including the erroneous and unsubstantiated 'facts' reported in the recent book by 'so-called' sex experts, Masters and Johnson. After studying EVERY ONE of the 54,723 cases of AIDS reported in this country since the epidemic began six years ago, the National Center for Disease Control in Atlanta has declared flatly that AIDS is passed only through blood contamination, sexual contact and birth to an infected mother. And, that's it! It is NOT transmitted through saliva, tears, urine, eating utensils, vaccines, insects or casual contact. If you know any DPFers who have the AIDS virus, please be knowledgeable and do not shun them. They need love and care now more than ever, and we should all be ready to change their diapers any time they need it.
By the way, the most likely way of passing AIDS through sexual contact is anal intercourse. That's because the rectum is not made for 'fucking' and it's membranes are more likely to tear than the membranes in the vagina. So, once again, please be safe--use CONDOMS! We want to keep you around so that someone can change your wet diaper another day.
Dear Tommy, The Diaper Covers and Rubber Duckies are great. I'll have some real fun this summer in them. I hope to be able to wear them on my California trip this summer - the only problem is telling my 10 year old kid I wear diapers. Should I tell him I have to, or the truth that I love to? His mom left 9 years ago and has only recently returned. She left because she didn't want two babies to change. The kid wets the bed every night but she won't diaper him but makes him sleep in the tub. Bill , Salt Lake City, UT 84110.
(Dear Bill, I think that you are right in being careful with your son. On the other hand you have a great opportunity with him, if you are careful. To begin with, you might tell your son that you wear diapers because you have to, emphasizing that, like him, you have a bedwetting 'problem' (a little white lie perhaps). Then watch his reaction. If he accepts that idea, you might then let him see you diaper yourself at night letting him observe that you are not embarrassed-it's just natural to you.
Later, as your trip approaches, you might tell your son that you think diapers might be great for him at night because diapers are MUCH better than wet beds when away from home. Don't push it too hard, but keep telling him how great diapers and dry beds are. If you can get him into night diapers before the trip, that would be wonderful.
While on the trip (when you are both really relaxed) you might casually mention that you really don't mind wearing diapers, that they make you feel good and very secure. Watch his reaction. Don't push it if this idea seems threatening to him.
It is important to proceed with these steps carefully, one by one, watching his reaction and stopping if he seems 'uncomfortable'. Your relationship with you son is far more important than getting him to wear diapers, that's for sure. Love, Tommy. (PS - But, Oh, God, he sure would look cute in the new Babykins)
Dear Tommy, I have been a diaper and plastic/rubber pants wearer for many years and came to enjoy their comfort, security and protection after developing urge incontinence and dribbling after service in Vietnam. My longing for them also developed naturally as a result of my parents requiring that I wear diapers and rubber pants to bed at night until I graduated from High School. I especially enjoyed my 20 year old female babysitter changing me on Saturday nights when I was 14 and my folks were out for the evening.
Although my wife is fairly understanding and lets me wear my diapers whenever I need to, she is not into infantilism and doesn't understand the great feeling of wearing and wetting a diaper (although she has occasionally wet the bed herself). Sincerely, in wet diapers, Daniel Weigel, 1084 S. Colonial Pkwy., Saukville, WI 53080. p.-1026. Mail-Box # 2113. Tel:414-284-0094 7:30-9:30 pm.
(Dear Dan, Thanks for your wonderful letter. What an exciting childhood you must have had - a fantasy dream come true! About your wife, you might want to try the new Subliminal Hypnotic tapes mentioned in Issue #37. It could result in your wife beginning to find you sexually exciting in diapers and then wanting to change you wet. Worth a try, I think. Love, Tommy).
Dear Tommy, The 'Baby Pants' seem great. I love the shape and overall feel of them and only wish I had ordered the right size. Although they're a little big they'll do the job and keep me happy until the new ones arrive. If the other items you have are as authentic as these Baby Pants, I'm sure all of us babies will be cumfy and dry while having fun. For me it was total arousal as I pulled them on for the first time. Also, I'm glad my photo made it to the 1st Photo Album. Once the other members see the it (1st Album), the #2 Photo Album will be bursting at the seams with excitement. Soggy Pants Richie. R. , Short Hills, NJ 07078. (Dear R, Thanks for your nice letter. It gives me a chance to remind the members that because the DPF Baby Pants are authentic, they run very full and puffy like real baby pants. If you prefer a 'tighter fit', we suggest that you try a smaller size. Try one pair first if you're not sure. Tommy).
Dear Tommy and Marky, It will soon be time for the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire. What a super chance for all of us Big Baby diaper wearers to really enjoy the Faire. Think of all that great English Beer, and those long lines for the privies by 2 or 3 PM. At the Faire our didies can be hidden under bulky costumes, although nobody would care about some obvious wet stains. No more lines, we can just drink and pee our diapers. In Renaissance times children wore shifts, which even today make changes simple. Jean wears hers over double diapers and Rubber Duckies. I wear bulky pants and a tunic over my diapers. If members would like to form a group and go to the Faire together, please drop us a note and we'll get something organized. Don Davis, PO Box 38040, Los Angeles, CA 90038. p.-1297. Mail-Box # 2332. Email: dondavis69@hotmail.com (You'll meet some really nice folks and have a fun time. We have a Renaissance Pleasure Faire up here in the Bay Area too, and they ARE great fun. Tommy).
We received a copy of an interesting article from Ralph, which he found in the Toronto Globe Business Section. The article described the 'diaper wars' between Proctor & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark for their share of the huge infant disposable diaper market. Of particular interest was the information that there is a slow but growing trend back to cloth diapers. The article mentioned Fisher-Price and BABYKINS Products as two leaders of this trend. Since we have already contracted with BABYKINS for their new DPF products, we were really happy and proud to be associated with the leaders in this wonderful trend back to cloth. Thanks for the information, Ralph.
Dear Tommy, I loved the Photo Album. It was great!! However, you have an incorrect address for me. Please correct this in the next Newsletter and the Photo Album. With affection, John Grande, 106 Queensbury St. #11, Boston, MA 02215. p.-1305. Mail-Box # 2027. Tel:617-351-2643 after 8pm. PHOTO-p.5. (Dear John. Oooops! Sorry about that. We will correct it on the next Photo Album re-print, April 1st. Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I received my Training Pants last week. Boy, are they great. I love them. In fact I like them so much that I am sending you an order for 3 more pairs and they will become my ONLY underwear when I am not in diapers. Also, I have already heard from one person who you sent my address to (under the Volunteer Program), and will continue to tell him and any others how great DPF is. Greg Smith, RR1 Box 350Browns Pond Road, Stattsburg, NY 12580. p.-1266. Mail-Box # 2432. Email: 73700.412@compuserve.com (Thanks, Greg. We appreciate the kind words and work you are doing. We also agree that a shy little guy like you should always be made to wear Training Pants when not in diapers. Tommy.)
We're happy to announce that this issue is breaking all previous records for the largest Roster in a single Newsletter, with 128 new or renewed members. That's substantially higher than our previous record and seems to indicate that our growth has no end (except wet ones). (PS - Latest issues in 1999 have almost 400 listings per Roster).
A few years ago Marky and I had the pleasure of meeting Al, San Jose, CA. Al was a new DPF member and we invited him to one of our 'DPF Parties'. Like many people, Al was frustrated in not being able to find a women who would diaper him and treat him the way he wanted to be treated. He seemed destined to a life of loneliness forever.
Sometime after joining DPF Al decided to 'Take A Chance' and place an ad in a local paper (San Jose Mercury News). It was quite a problem. He wanted the ad to be explicit enough to attract the right woman, yet not so explicit as to frighten away the woman he was looking for. He also had to satisfy the newspaper's limitations on what they would print.
Al came up with a GREAT idea! Instead of using words like 'changing diapers', 'mommy' or 'dominant', he concentrated on the other important things he wanted to share, his interest in music, theater and video. At the end of the ad he simply added that he was 'incontinent'. The ad attracted about 24 phone calls and he ended up taking some of the women to dinner. And he found Jan.
Jan turned out to be a wonderfully understanding, open minded, bright and loving person. Right from the beginning Al and Jan hit if off and found they shared almost every interest in life (they're even both 'vidiots', people who love playing with video, but that's another story). Jan suffers from multiple sclerosis which makes it a little difficult for her to move as fast and as easily as other people, but she does get around. Although Jan's MS has resulted in a weak bladder causing her to rush off to the bathroom at the slightest call, she does not use diapers and doesn't want to. That's fine with AL because what he wanted was a mommy anyway.
When they first met, Jan had no knowledge of Infantilism. Al worried about what would happen to their loving relationship when he began to tell Jan about his needs and desires. In a deep expression of love and understanding, Jan began to learn about and accept Al's needs. She began diapering him and putting him to bed in his crib every night. Al has found the mommy he wanted, and they happily now share this interest as an integral part of their love, their sexuality, and their life together.
This story points out some important things that may help many of us find a loving mate. (1) There are lots of lonely people in the world who, like us, need love and a sharing relationship. (2) It usually takes contact with lots of people before we find the right person. (3) The right ad in a newspaper can bring wonderful results. (4) Finally, and most important, sometimes we need to get off our butt, and 'Take A Chance'.
Hi, My Friends, It's been an eventful twelve months in my life and I'm just getting back on track. After I dismissed my secretary, she broke in to my personal (Infantilism) files and then wrote to all my friends, relatives and business associates. A lawsuit and court injunction stopped her, but much damage was done (or should I say much baggage was unloaded). My friends and wife now know everything, but they still love me for who I am. My counselor even suggests that I act through my fantasy (of giving up control) to see if perhaps my anxiety will be relieved. I'll try with your (DPF) help. Much love, Dennis, , Costa Mesa, 92626. p-this issue. PS - Whose the cute baby in the crib in the Product Catalog ad for Lang pants?
(Dear Dennis, Your story points out some important things. (1) No matter what our friends or spouses learn about us, those who really count (are truly loving and understanding) will still love us. (2) Your counselor is correct, acting out our fantasies is a very healthy way of 'balancing' our lives. You obviously have a strong need to both 'be in control' and 'give up control', so you'll probably feel better when you balance both of them . Good luck. PS - The baby in the crib is me. Love, Tommy).
DPF is always happy to find unique products for our members. Here's one that is hard to believe, but true. It's called Dr. Goldson's Baby Bonder. It provides a way for 'Daddies' to become 'Mommies' for their little babies (of any age). This may not interest everyone, but for those it does, it could be a real exciting addition to their fun and games.
The 'Baby Bonder' is a terry cloth garment with breast-like protuberances into which you insert an ordinary baby bottle. With it any man can 'nurse' a baby in almost the same way mommy does. For more information on the Baby Bonder, write to: Dr. Goldson's Baby Bonder, PO Box 4975, Washington, DC 20008. PLEASE be discreet. This is a REAL device used by REAL daddies who want to nurture their new-born babies. They've already sold 20,000 of them.
Besides great stories, new videos, new products, etc., DPF has some great plans for gay DPFers in the near future (thanks to some great suggestions from Kevin D. in New Orleans and John in Chicago). First of all we're working on a combined 'story' and 'news release' to be published in a major national gay magazine later this year, possible Drummer or Honcho. This article will encourage and attract new gay members to DPF, especially DADDIES. Gay members will sure to be excited when they see this article. We'll let you know the date and name of the publication.
We'll also me making a condensed version of this article available for publication in local gay magazines in cities all across the country. If you send us the NAME and ADDRESS of the best local gay magazine in your area, we'll send them this article as soon as it is ready. It's help us get local members for you.
We can't stress enough the importance of the 'Volunteer' program in attracting more gay (and straight) members to DPF. While the above article may attract 25 or 50 inquiries into DPF, the 'Volunteer' program could result in hundreds of new members. PLEASE help by becoming a volunteer. We're trying our hardest to find friends for everyone. Please help by doing your part. Thanks, Tommy
Dear Tommy, I'm sure glad to be a member of DPF once again. To all the folks who wrote to me I'd like to apologize for not writing back. Shortly after rejoining DPF I began having trouble with the Post Office regarding my PO Box number. Things have cleared up now and I will answer all who write. Here's an article I found in a national boating magazine called, "Soundings". I hope you enjoy it. Sincerely sopping, George , Rockland, ME 04841. p-312.
(From magazine 'Soundings') "The 'Wet Pants Sailing Association' of Sayville, NY was founded in 1934 by marine artist and author Harvey Garrett Smith who wrote the book "Small Boat Sailor's Bible". It is a family-oriented public club whose members mostly sail and race boats less than 16 feet. Smith later had a boat designed for the club called the "DIAPER". The current head of the Wet Pants sailing program says the "DIAPER" is a 'very tender' two man boat that features as its class insignia - a safety pin".
Dear Marky and Tommy, I almost wasn't going to renew my membership because I had several letters addressed to me as SSGT "Big Baby" Joey. (Shame on you, whoever you are, to have acted stupidly and threatened to destroy someone else's fun and happiness in life).
I enjoy wearing very thick cloth diapers and plastic pants. I'm practically always wet and enjoy being seen and treated like a baby. When not at Daddy Chris' house I'm always in Ambeze disposables and wear four of them at a time to keep that thick, bulky feel. I'm always in short pants or terry sweat pants so anyone looking at me knows immediately that I'm in diapers.
I have friends off base who have four sons aged 2 to 11 years, and all are bedwetters. Their mother is very strict and diapers them all before sending them off to bed. When I visit for the weekend she diapers me also, saying she doesn't want me wetting the bed either. After dinner the two older boys (Robert and Mark, age 9 and 11) do the dishes. Then shortly before 9 O'Clock she has all four of us lie down on the floor, and usually Robert and Mark start crying. The kids are put into cloth diapers and plastic pants while I get diapered in 5 Ambeze disposables. In the morning she puts Mark and Robert back into underwear, but keeps Matthew, Mike and me in diapers. I know she's never told her husband (who's currently stationed overseas for a year) that she diapers me.
I also met Chris Taylor through DPF and have been to his house twice, including a Big Baby Birthday Party. That was the first time I was in a room full of big babies. I enjoy being treated both like a boy and a sissy baby. Chris puts me in very thick cloth diapers, pink panties and sometimes a sissy dress. When I'm thoroughly soaked he'll change me. I really like my new found Daddy. In wet diapers, Baby Joey. SSGT Joseph . p-this issue.
(If you write to Joey, please DON'T write to "Baby Joey". Also a million thanks to Chris Taylor for being one of the greatest Daddies around. Chris is a wonderful example of how gay and straight DPFers can share fun and games together without making either one uncomfortable with unacceptable demands. Although Chris is gay and Joey is straight, it sounds like two marvelous people are having fun together as only we DPFers know how. Thanks to both of you. Tommy.)
Dear Tommy, Since DPF has become as much a support group as a vehicle for meeting others of like mind, I would like to propose a few questions of a practical nature to see what solutions the membership has to offer. (1) How do you cope at the laundromat when your week's supply of dirty diapers produce an odor that can kill at 10 yards? (2) Are there those who wear diapers during work and if so, how do you manage diaper changes without arousing undue comments or outright ridicule? (3) Has anyone found plastic or rubber pants that won't leak at the back of the legs the minute you sit down? Sincerely, David, Phoenix, AZ 85016. p-this issue. (Dear David, DPF baby pants products (Lang and Rubber Duckies) resist leaking when you sit. The other questions I'll let the membership answer. Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I am curious as to what toys Santa brought you for Christmas and what toys you actually sit down and play with. This might be of interest to fellow members. Your play-pen-pale, Diaper Dale, Dupo, IL 62239. p-344. (Dear Diaper Dale, I don't want to run the risk of boring anybody, but here's a quick recap. The biggest toys I received for Christmas this year were (1) some extension tracks and a freight car for my LGB electric trains that run around our play room, and (2) a game called 'Torpedo Run' in which Marky and I lie on the floor and shoot at each other's battleships with torpedoes shot from our submarines. Yesterday I set up my Hot Wheels 'Jumpmasters' set in the living room and zapped 30 Hot Wheels across the living room. Marky told me I better clean up the toys in the living room before he comes home tonight, or I'm in real trouble.
Dear Tommy, I recently bought your hypnotic tape for daytime wetting and customized the tape so that I would lose bladder control while wearing diapers. I also made a night-time loop which plays all through the night. The results so far are pretty good. I wet my diaper at night but only when I wear diapers. If I don't wear diapers I wake up normally and go to the potty.
I also am experiencing some noticeably changes in my daytime wetting, including wetting more frequently and wetting periodically throughout the day without my consent. I can't tell you how excited this make me. It feels so good to be a baby. I just love it. I now wear my nappies 24 hours a day and don't care who knows it.
What is the best way to keep my wee wee and balls clean of hair? I find that shaving is harsh on the skin and hair remover doesn't always get the stubble. Take care and stay wet, Baby Nathan, , Mayfield Hts., OH 44124. p-354. (Dear Nathan, other than electrolysis I don't know of any other practical method for having baby smooth skin.)
Dear Tommy, I can't begin to tell you how happy I am. What a wonderful weekend Mommy and I had. Thank you for introducing us. It is so wonderful how relaxed the two of us are in each other's company. I managed to stay 'little Billy' most of the time, and Ellen was a very good Mommy. She even helped clear up a bad rash that has been bothering me for a couple of weeks by changing my diapers quite often. I'm not sure what the garbage man or your niece will think of all the disposable diapers in the trash (blush). Huggers, Billy, San Jose, CA 95128. p-348. (It looks like my friend, Billy, and my wonderful sister, Ellen, are in a great relationship and I couldn't be happier for them both. To think that only a few years ago my sister had never heard of DPF and thought diapers were only something only real little babies wore. Tommy).
Dear Tommy, I was just flabbergasted with amazement to see the latest Newsletter and am glad to be a member again. I'm just sorry that I missed an issue of DPF. This is the best club in the world and I am proud to be part of it.
I had a little baby get together at my home on Feb. 6th for Baby Dennis, Baby Jeff, Baby John, Baby Tim and myself. Of course we were all in diapers and plastic pants. Please tell anyone else in Chicago or anywhere (if they travel) that I plan to throw an even bigger Baby shower soon. It will include diapers, plastic pants and refreshments from a baby bottle for everyone. I am so into diapers that I even wear disposables under my pants all day even at work. It's such a great feeling. Though my roommate still doesn't realize why I love diapers so much he just lets me be me. He is really understanding and diapers me up without any more questions. Love to all my diaper friends, Baby Orlando, Chicago, IL 60626 (Dear Baby Orlando, we're glad to welcome you back. Other guys seeing your picture in the current issue of the Photo Album will probably want to change your diaper too. You might consider the new Subliminal Hypnotic tape for your roommate, it could change your relationship in a wonderful way. They're described in Issue #37. Love, Tommy).
Do you have a question, complaint or suggestion for DPF. If so, you can use the DPF Hot Line to communicate any thoughts you have to us. The DPF Hot Line is an Answering Machine. We process the calls shortly after they are received. We may send you a written answer, take suggestions under consideration and look into complaints immediately. The only thing we can't do is return your call. The number is 415-381-9105. We respond in whatever way is necessary. (We even enjoy getting just a friendly 'hello').
One of the most interesting questions frequently brought up in mail received by DPF is, "How open can one be with diapers and infantilism in general?" One member writes that he walks on the beach wearing nothing but a diaper. Another member writes that they would like to wear 'obvious' diapers in public under their clothes but wonders if they could 'get into trouble'. One member puts his names and phone numbers in the Roster. Another member takes a 'Blind DPF Box'. Too many people never join DPF at all because they are scared shitless.
One member writes about his loving relationship with his wife who 'babies' him and diapers him freely and lovingly. Another member writes that his ex-wife threatened to tell all his friends and business associates about his 'weirdness'.
Obviously there must be some 'basic' rules for what one can and can not do safely and legally. Everyone is different; what is fun for one person can be scary and uncomfortable for another. Yet, some of the ideas people have are probably too extreme. Is it logical for someone to stay completely 'in the closet' and never make a friend with someone else who shares their interest? On the other hand, is it appropriate to walk down the main street of your town wearing nothing but a wet diaper?
In the next issue we will try to come up with some basic ideas for how to handle one's behavior and feelings without getting into trouble. In the meantime, if you want, please drop us a note on your thoughts and opinions about this subject. We'll listen to you and incorporate your ideas into our discussions of this subject in the next issue. Thanks, Tommy.
Even though we can't print them all the wonderful letters we receive, we want you to know that we appreciate them all. Here are some excerpts from some of the more interesting ones.
Will the Acceptance and Full Participation Subliminal tapes work if the subject is aware of the hidden messages? I will not use something on someone without their knowledge of what is going on. Also, can a baby name be used in the Custom tape or should it be the real adult name? Paulee , Hot Springs, AR 71901. P-319. (Answer: We believe that the tapes are effective even when the person knows what's going on. The name on the Custom tape should be the person's real name. For more information on these tapes see Issue #37, December 1987).
I was really surprised to find so many individuals listed as new ones in each Newsletter. It makes me feel not so alone in my want to be babied. In the past I tried to repress my desires to put a diaper and plastic pants on and to wet or dirty my pants, thinking there must be something wrong with me. Now I realize that it's OK as long as I do no harm to myself or anybody else, and that there is no reason not to satisfy my personal desires or needs. Philip , Ft. Drum, NY 13602. p-352.
I read where Pampers Plus will be available free at Amusement Parks and Zoos as part of a new $40 million promotion by Proctor & Gamble. In addition, a mobile Pampers Baby Care Center van will be on the road and at shopping malls for the wet ones that need diaper changes. Gary, Waukesha, WI 53188. p-317. (We can't wait to hear any story about a DPFer who goes into an Amusement Park and gets a dry diaper 'for himself' from Proctor & Gamble).
I've been going out in public (usually very scared) with very thick diapers under my pants for about 18 months. I go to parks in gym shorts and department stores in dress shorts hoping some lady will notice the bulging shape of my diaper and diaper pins. Maybe I could meet her and she could become my mommie or sister. I'd love to hear from fellow members about their experiences with diapers in public. R. , Richmond, VA 23222. p-315.
What a relief when your welcome first package arrived. The first story I picked up was 'Peter's Vacation'. I immediately pushed my pants down, let the author's erotic writing raise a full erection and then christened my first DPF contact with several ardent splashes of cum. Now I understand my original tactile and sensual identification with my mommy's and then older sister's deliberate arousal of my budding sexuality. I identified inextricably with being loved, fondled and caressed to arousal, and my physical (I was small for my age), emotional and chronological 'babyness'. John, p-376.
Here's my order for the new Subliminal tape for my wife. My wife will sometimes diaper and baby me, but it is plain to see she is only doing it for me alone. With the tape I hope to have her take a more active interest. Dale , East Windsor Hill, CT 06028. p-338. (Please let us know how your wife reacts, Dale. We hope the tape helps.)
I was said to learn of the death of Gene of L'il Wrangler. Are his photos of young guys in diapers still available? They were great! I have 117 of them. I also have written an autobiography of my life through 1985, and anyone who writes or calls gets a copy as an introduction to me as a possible friend. Frank, Romeoville, IL 60441. p-356. (Frank was very generous and gave DPF copies of Gene's photographs. Would any members be interested if we published them in an inexpensive 'Album'? Tommy.)
Thanks to your Newsletter I've found a beautiful mommy and soon she'll be here with me. We've been writing to each other for 8 months. Thank you for my new found relationship. Baby Jim. , Norton, OH 44203. p-369. (Congratulations, Baby Jim. Hope you have a great baby life with your mommy. Tommy).
I'll be moving in April to Petersburg, VA and hope that I'll finally be able to meet and spend time with other babies in the US. It's been so lonely here in Korea, but making friends thru letters has really saved me. I look forward to the day when I can purchase whatever I want for my baby life style and don't have to worry about anything. Gary. p-336.
I enjoy wetting and masturbating in my diaper. I loved your article about your attack of "Babyitis". I would like to see more about diaper masturbation. Kevin Kelsey, 11538 Riviera Place NE, Seattle, WA 98125. p.-1255. Mail-Box # 5750. Email: Windflight@aol.com (Well, how about it, guys?)
