It is important to clarify that the initials ABDL (Adult Baby Diaper Lover) are always to be separated with a slash (AB/DL) indicating that these two tastes can occur both together and separately. Infantilism – in a medicalized context called autonepiophilia – refers to a not necessarily erotic-sexual form of being treated as a baby including or not diapers.
The subcategories within age play or age games are very broad. For some people it has even become a lifestyle. Some of these subcategories are: DDLG or DDLB (Daddy Dom Little Girl or Boy), MDLG or MDLB (Mommy Dom Little Girl or Boy). Within these we must also take into account the sissies: people of the masculine gender who use a feminine gender expression during the duration of the session (crossdressing in a minor form).
As the field of age play is so wide, the AB (0 to 3 years old), the baby boy/girl (children without a specific age range, but somewhat more adolescents) and the middle (from 7 to 13 or 14 years old) cover all age segments of the children. Regardless of the child’s age, most of them usually wear diapers in practice as something characteristic of ageplay that promotes the change of age.
Finally, in terms of behavior, we have brats (with a spoiled or disobedient attitude as part of the game) and pets, which mix ageplay with petplay, including imagined animals such as puppies or kittens, among others.
