I don't see much point in ABDL stuff without a sexual interest but I don't complain about people who don't like that or say they shouldn't talk about their experiences. Go make a site that's about your nonsexual AB interests and I'll be first in line to be indifferent to it unless someone complains about it, at which point I'll be right there with you advocating for your right to exist.
Trust me, Crinkles, I get it, honey. What I think I'm hearing is, :soapbox: :frown:
"I get sick & tired of people outside our little bubble (& some inside it) not understanding
how it feels, for this not to be kink!" Am I right? If so, I know the feeling! I, as a plain-bellied sneetch (non-sexual) wish I could somehow help people know how it
feels to have it be an
inextricable part of oneself. I mean, even on ADISC, sexuals know we exist, but do they
understand how it feels for a non-sexual to see sexualized pictures, when all he or she is looking for are
comfort items, or know that most outsiders think we're all the same, or be in a non-sexual AB headspace? No, they don't. Why? Because feelings can be hard to articulate. Perpetuating the idea that we're all the same is endlessly frustrating! There's the slap in the face. A few non-sexuals are slowly changing public perception. The documentary The 15 Stone Babies, on youtube, depicts us plain-bellies well.
Try to see it the other way. We can't expect them to attempt for us what we won't attempt for them. Say you're Trevor, a star-bellied sneetch (sexual). Would you like to be seen as not,
for real? I can see where the star-bellies feel like an endangered species on ADISC, but I felt like an odd duck when I first got here, for being non-sexual!:giggles: We shouldn't get all puffed up and prideful for being non-sexual, and they shouldn't get that way for being sexual.
I know that there are more than 2 camps here, and even the 2 I've named aren't clearly cut & dry. Even DLs can wear exclusively for comfort.

Thanks. Me too.
