Being Dominated by Being Infantilized by Surprise
Posted: April 12th, 2013, 6:20 pmThe following are snippets from a writing guide for age regression fiction. While it is designed as information for fiction writers, I think it describes well the fantasy I have which would involve ABDL Humiliation. Let me know what you think and please keep in mind that I did not write the quoted text below. I thought it might be helpful to explain the fantasy to those who are in ABDL in a wholly psychological and non-sexual way. Which is a great thing to do, too. I enjoy that part, as well. But, I got this, too. I would love the thoughts from a group interested in ABDL Humiliation.

"Unwilling AG is a more severe form of domination for a male wherein he is not merely verbally castigated as a straightforward AR story, but is literally castrated by means of the transformation. Usually, the antagonist is a female, who reduces her victim to the age of child with the implied promise that she will be the caretaker. In the cases where the antagonist is a male, then the caretaker tends to be the mother, wife or girlfriend of the protagonist and is an accessory to the deed. Indeed, since the physical reduction of an adult into infancy tends to posit a secondary character who will care for the resultant infant, female domination and loss of control to a woman become important themes in the Age Regression (AR) sub-genre.
Men are the perfect target for the AR writer. They tend to be less mature and more self-conceited at any age then women. In general, they lack the social skills which might divert trouble and let a problem become a crisis so they can attack it head-on with all their physical and mental prowess. If this approach is used during a situation while they are being regressed into infancy, their normal stratagems fail utterly. Men's mental strength is derived from three sources; belief in their physical power gives them courage, their social position lends them credibility and their mastery of language gives them the skills to overcome obstacles. Once their physical prowess, social position and linguistic powers of adulthood have been stripped from them, men become helpless children and the story of their reformation at woman's hands can begin.
Age Regression is usually a type of Fantasy Horror with only occasional stories written as Science Fiction Horror. In either case, the focus of the story is on the transformation of the protagonist or the antagonist into youth or infancy and the changes the rejuvenation causes between the relationship the character has with the world and the people around him. The willingness of the character to be rejuvenated determines his reaction to the transformation. If the character is unwittingly changed into an infant, his reaction is generally one of horror as his social powers slip away and he becomes physically small and weak. If the character manages to return to an adult state, the story is an Adventure sub-genre. If the character remains in his regressed state and hates the outcome, the story is a pure horror story. If the character ends up in love with the woman who takes care of him and enjoys being her infant, then the story is part of the Romance subgenre.
Important Note: The image of a man being changed into a baby is more psychologically powerful than the rejuvenation of a woman into infancy because of the stark contrast between an infant's dependence and an adult's independence.
Because Western society is paternalistic, the transformation of a dominant man into helpless infancy is more dramatic than the rejuvenation of an ordinary housewife into infancy. For many readers, women are subconsciously seen as weak and dependent, so the contrast caused by a woman's transformation into babyhood isn't as striking as a man regressing into a toddler and losing his social status and power over the world around him.
Since babies require caregivers to change their diapers, bathe and feed them, etc., there are problems with story structure when a woman is regressed rather than a man. If there are two adults in the story, usually the conflicts center around the relationship between a man and woman. Since men in general are not perceived as good caregivers for babies, regressing the woman leaves her without an effective caregiver.
Important Note: A good AR-Infantilist story is dependant on both the means of transformation (rejuvenation) as well as the social relationships of the regressed person."
