Specialty Definition: Infantilism

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Infantilism is a type of sexual roleplaying or BDSM in which a person takes the role of a baby. It is a subset of ageplay and often regarded as edgeplay.

Infantilists usually combine the submission of the baby role with the fetishes of diapers, though not all infantilists actually practice scat fetishism or watersports. Some enjoy wearing diapers without necessarily taking the role of an infant.

Some infantilism is purely regressive, without any sexual contact, while others include sexuality.

The top or dominant plays the role of a parent, nursemaid or babysitter.
