Binge/purge cycle

From ADISC Answers Wiki

The binge/purge cycle is a term within the greater ABDL community that is used to describe oscillating feelings that some community members get toward diapers or baby paraphernalia.

How It Is Defined

As the name the suggests, there are two extremes of the spectrum.

Binge

Someone who is on a "binge" overindulges in their desires, including but not limited using the fetish object(s) much more frequently than normal. Strong feelings or a sense of "greater connection" to these items are present and the person is compelled to act on them.

Purge

Someone who is on a "purge" rejects or loses most, if not all interest in the fetish-driven object(s). In such a case, the person may simply not use that object for a while - or the duration of the purge - to more extreme cases where the person gets rid of all the objects relating to the fetish.

What Happens

What happens is that a person gets stuck in this cycle:

In which first (as you can read above) a person overdoes it and then after a while suddenly totally rejects everything. Then that goes good for a while and then the person starts with the Binge again.

This can start at any point in the cycle. The problem with the cycle is that it's very destructive. Especially during the purge. You may delete or throw away stuff you later regret or lose friends due to you suddenly loathing the common thing between you and him.

How To Prevent It

Keep everything in control and stay away from the extremes. Don't suddenly go and buy all kinds of stuff but at the same time don't throw away everything you have. Keep it all slow paced and under control. You will most likely regret throwing your collection away when you're going through the cycles, so even if it isn't what you want, heed the advice of others and save your things.
