Does anyone find it as weird as I do that there are adults and teenagers who use pacifiers?

So i ran into a video messing around on youtube and it was a teenager sucking on a pacifer watching tv. This struck me as odd, so i binged it and found a bunch of sites about adult, using bottles wearing adult diapers and using pacifers. Then what really got me is they actually make adult pacifers. Can someone fill me in or give your opinion on this? I’m confused and flabbergasted haha

Answer #1

wow, are you sure they were healthy people or did they have some sort of disorder!? I hv never seen people in the right mind sucking on a pacifier or wearing diapers unless they had real issues.

I mean at a certain age I do understand that elderly people need the diapers for certain problems…urinary issues mostly…but the whole pacifier thing I think is more mental!

Answer #2

haha yes other than the ppl that actually need the diapers check out these sites this one shows that they actually sell adult baby stuff http://funadvice.com/r/151qspsqjcl. and this site is an example of the fact ppl actually do it http://funadvice.com/r/151qspsqlbf

Answer #3

i cant even stand to see toddlers around 3-4 years old sucking on a pacifier..lol..i’ve not seen adults suck on them..well in the nursing home where i worked they did..a few of them..but that was the ones who had problems with their minds..but i can’t stand to see when a parent lets their kid at 3,4,5 and 6 and older suck on them..it loks odd to me..lol

Answer #4

thank you lol i agree completely. i can’t believe i ran across it cuz i personally haven’t seen anyone do it but its kinda like a strange addiction for those pp agreedl?

Answer #5

I am 17 and suck my thumb. I always have and always will. Some people have comfort blankets, or toys or little objects or whatever. Whenever I feel emotional or I’m on my own or really at peace I suck my thumb. I’m proud of it. I guess people with pacifiers (or dummies as they’re known in the UK) are just doing the same thing as me. It’s a comfort thing. I don’t see any problem with it at all. What actually is wrong with it? Nothing really. I think it’s perfectly fine.. maybe that means I am crazy. Whatever. My point is, I’m a thumb sucker and proud :)

Answer #6

I guess you’ve never heard of infantilism. It’s basically a fetish, like cross dressing. However, I’ve seen perfectly normal teens sucking on pacifiers as some sort of unique fad.

Answer #7

i don’t think your crazy i just want filled in so i grasp the concept.

Answer #8

i don’t think your crazy i just want filled in so i grasp the concept.

Answer #9

agreed. but for those do it into adult hood and such is there a name for it i mean i read something they called people who have perfectly fine bladders wearing diapers “DiaperLovers”

Answer #10

Yes … infantilism

Answer #11

I don’t find it odd , but I dont find it to be good . It’s more of a habit or like OCD almost where they can’t give it up . Unless they just enjoy it . .

Answer #12

It’s a habit but it’s not bad just a little childish my friend does it but he sucks his finger it’s like how I chew on my nails it’s a nervous habit or just a mental action.

Answer #13

i guess…its indeed odd..but i know where i use to work i’d see these kids come in and they are talking great and tall and walking good too..and they are sucking on a pacifier..and im like..whoa..that just looks weird..lol..

Answer #14

it defiantly is to me i mean opinion or not. noone can sit and say its completely normal to want to piss pants diaper on or not or to suck on a pacifer. they are ment for babies who have the constant urge to suck, and if its comfort theres more healthier ways to comfort yourself. such as myself i sleep with a fan on.

Answer #15

Uhhhh how is that healthier? Having a fan on constantly as a comfort thing is a waste of perfectly good electricity. Care to explain how having a fan slowly destroy the environment is a healthier habit than sucking on something…?

Answer #16

really? thats what you got out of it, me runnging my fan the total 5 or 6 hours i sleep a night that its running is suddently going to ruin the environment. and that and i never said it was healthier. its not normal to be 25 30 sucking on a pacifer thats my opinion if your offended or don’t like it then go comment somewhere else.
