In today's episode of Daddy Dialogues, sexologist and psychotherapist Dr. Ethan Haymovitz dives into a historical piece of ABDL-related research: Dr. Sidney Malitz’s 1966 seminal article, "Another report on the wearing of diapers and rubber pants by an adult male."

Malitz offers contemporary readers insight into the history of scholarly interpretations of ABDL, as we understand it today, we see how such sexual behavior was interpreted through the lens of mid-20th-century psychoanalytic psychiatry.

But it’s also an example of the challenges inherent in research from that era—particularly in how it pathologized behaviors we now know as representing a diverse array of personal expressions of erotic identity, consensual relationships among adults, and in many cases, non-pathological experiences.

In this episode, sexologist and psychotherapist Dr. Ethan Haymovitz reviews a 2014 study by Drs. Hawkinson and Zamboni on the how experiences of caregiving in early life influence our erotic and non-erotic experiences of diapers, ageplay, and relationships in vanilla and ABDL contexts.

In this week's episode of Daddy Dialogues, Dr. Ethan Haymovitz discusses the strongest evidence to date that ABDL is often erotically motivated by a need for humiliation, as well as non-erotic needs for safety and security, not pedophilia.
