a qualitative exploration of adult Baby Diaper lover behavior from an online community sample
Journal of Sex Research, 2019Co-Authors: Brian D. ZamboniAbstract: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 inclu...

Experiences of distress by participants in the Adult Baby/Diaper Lover community
Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 2018Co-Authors: Brian D. ZamboniAbstract:ABSTRACTThis study examined data on 1795 male, 139 female, and 78 gender non-binary members of the Adult Baby/Diaper Lover (ABDL) online community. Using grounded theory, qualitative analyses explored reasons for breaks in ABDL practices and reasons for distress lasting longer than 6 months due to ABDL interests. Quantitative analyses examined differences between participants reporting the aforementioned period of distress and those who did not. Negative reactions from parents and romantic partners appeared to cause breaks in ABDL behavior as well as distress due to ABDL interests. Other reasons for breaks were a living arrangement that interfered with ABDL behavior, a struggle in self-acceptance of ABDL interests, and lack of access to ABDL paraphernalia. Distress due to ABDL interests reflected mental health concerns, such as depression, due to conflicting feelings about their ABDL interests or due to interpersonal conflicts over the ABDL practices. Participants who reported distress were older, had pra...

facile flexible cost saving and environment friendly paper based humidity sensor for multifunctional applications
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019Co-Authors: Zaihua Duan, Qiuni Zhao, Zhen Yuan, Yadong Jiang, Mingguo Yan, Si Wang, Ping Sun, Guangzhong Xie, Huiling TaiAbstract:Developing a facile, cost-saving, and environment-friendly method for fabricating a multifunctional humidity sensor is of great significance to expand its practical applications. However, most humidity sensors involve a complex fabrication process, resulting in their high cost and narrow application fields. Herein, a multifunctional paper-based humidity sensor with many advantages is proposed. This humidity sensor is fabricated using conventional printing paper and flexible conductive adhesive tape by a facile pasting method, in which the paper is used as both the humidity-sensing material and the substrate of the sensor. Owing to the moderate hydrophilicity of the paper and the rational structure design of the paper-based humidity sensor, the sensor exhibits an excellent humidity-sensing response of more than 103 as well as good linearity ( R2 = 0.9549) within the humidity range from 41.1 to 91.5% relative humidity. Furthermore, the paper-based humidity sensor has good flexibility and compatibility, endowing it with multifunctional applications for breath rate, Baby Diaper wetting, noncontact switch, skin humidity, and spatial localization monitoring. Although the resistance of the paper-based humidity sensor is relatively large, the humidity-sensing response signals of the sensor can be conveniently processed by the designed signal processing system. The readily available starting materials and facile fabrication technique provide useful strategies for the development of multifunctional humidity sensors.

An ingenious strategy for improving humidity sensing properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes via poly-L-lysine modification
Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2019Co-Authors: Qiuni Zhao, Zhen Yuan, Zaihua Duan, Yadong Jiang, Li Zhemin, Huiling TaiAbstract:Abstract Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as one of excellent conductive and poor-hydrophilicity materials are difficult to be directly used in humidity sensing field. In order to obtain MWCNTs with both good semiconducting characteristic and improved humidity sensing performances, MWCNTs composite film via poly- l -lysine (PLL) modification was developed for humidity detection. The humidity sensing properties of the as-fabricated sensor were investigated at room temperature (25 °C) within the relative humidity (RH) range from 0 to 91.5% RH. Due to abundant hydrophilic functional groups and conduction-blocking effect of PLL, the resistive-type humidity sensor based on MWCNTs/PLL film exhibits a good humidity sensing response of 659.97% at 91.5% RH. Especially, the resistance of the humidity sensor displays a clear positive humidity coefficient (PHC) that caused by the swelling effect of PLL. Finally, various potential applications of the humidity sensor were further performed for the real-time monitoring of skin humidity, Baby Diaper wetting, spatial humidity distribution and human exhaled breath, which provide an ingenious strategy for the practicability of the humidity sensor.

Adult Baby/Diaper Lovers: An Exploratory Study of an Online Community Sample
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2014Co-Authors: Kaitlyn Hawkinson, Brian D. ZamboniAbstract:This internet-based study provided descriptive information and exploratory analyses on 1,795 male and 139 female members of the Adult Baby/Diaper Lover (ABDL) community. Based on prior research, some research questions focused on the degree to which ABDL behavior was associated with negative mood states, parental relationships, and attachment style. Based on clinical experience, a second research question focused on discerning two possible subgroups within the ABDL community: persons focused on role play behavior and persons who were primarily interested in sexual arousal in their ABDL behavior. The results showed modest support for the former research questions, but notable support for the last research question. Because of some overlap between the two hypothesized subgroups, additional subgroups may exist. Males in the ABDL community identified their ABDL interests earlier than females and these males may be more focused on sexual aspects of ABDL practices. Both males and females perceived being dominated as important in their ABDL behavior. Most participants were comfortable with their ABDL behavior and reported few problems. ABDL behavior may represent a sexual subculture that is not problematic for most of its participants.
