Baby talk ranks, for me, on the general awfulness scale somewhere between people chewing loudly and the apocalypse.
So forgive me that I couldn’t stomach the idea of watching all of last night’s episode of Taboo. The National Geographic Channel show, now in its seventh season, featured a man named Stanley who, in the privacy of his own home, dresses and behaves like a baby. Eating in a high chair, drinking out of a bottle, and (shudder) speaking like baby — the works. See for yourself:
Granted, there have been far more shocking topics covered in the program (the series has chronicled everything from sexual taboos to shocking rituals), and what he was doing was ultimately harmless. But something about it seems so unsettling. I’m not bothered by this man and his freedom to express himself and live his life however he pleases, so much as babies aren’t supposed to be that big. Babies are small and aren’t capable of going to work and they don’t sell and trade stocks online!
Whether or not the idea of a grown man baby bothers you too, the show is definitely fascinating. I mean, hey, to each their own. Except for baby talk. That’s the worst ever.
Did you watch Stanley the man who lives like a baby on ‘Taboo’ last night, PopWatchers? Did it bother you or were you more envious that you hadn’t thought of it first?
Where in the hell do you find pajamas that big?
I had that exact same thought. Footie pajamas and everything…
LOL well, there’s actually a number of places you can buy them online…I spent a long time looking at footie pajamas on the jumpin jammerz (or something like that) website one Christmas because I was thinking of getting me and my sister Christmas pjs to wear on Christmas morning with our families.
Wow…I wonder what psychological issues lead to this sort of thing. Very interesting.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIS PICTURE?THE MAN NEEDS TO BE IN A INSTITUTION,AND WHAT IS UP WITH THE OLD LADY,OMG SOME SCREWS ARE LOOSE SOMEWHERE!
Thank goodness he’s bottle fed…just sayin’…
I’m coming back from the dead #justsayin
I would never want to do this every day, but I can actually kind of see the appeal in pretending to be a baby – no expectations, no responsibilities, no worries. Maybe his job is really stressful. The only explanation I can come up with for thinking I might enjoy the security a baby feels for an hour or so is that I, too, am under a lot of stress….dear god don’t let me turn into an adult baby!
Wait, I should clarify that I don’t want to wear diapers and drink out of bottles in a hired nurse’s arms; I just mean that I wouldn’t mind lying down to take a nap or something and trying to pretend to myself that I’m just a baby with no cares in the world.
I read on another site that both him and the woman that cares for him are both without jobs on disability. So rather than get the proper help, they decide to go on TV.
i commend this man for his courage on ‘coming out’ on national television with his lifestlye..i’ve seen this same clip on other websites, and the comments people made were just horrible! to aly semigran…grow up (pun intended!!) and open your eyes..there are SO many different kinds of people out there, who like different kinds of things, for you to just trash the whole thing, makes me sad for society…
The man baby didn’t bother me as much as the lady who treats dolls as her children. She takes these dolls out in strollers and her husband/step son actually participate as well. Those dolls were FREAKY looking and I had to turn it off before I had nightmares!
You know what I think is sad. People like this with Pscyhological problems are trotted out on a television show as “entertainment”. If the problems are real, they should be treated, not just shown between commericials as freaks.
Freaking disgusting!!
Lol, it looks like he has beer in his bottle… baby likes some booze.
Why doesn’t he have a job?
God I hope he doesn’t actually use that diaper and that it is just for show.
The Etrade baby trades stocks!
This is a disorder that includes sexual issues. He is not only bottle fed (just picture the other thing). And having a diaper changed includes fiddling with other stuff (again, picture the other stuff). And ew, this is NOT “coming out”. Is is to a voyeuristic, liberal individual. The person who participates in this whole thing also has a disorder.
Ok I’m an adult baby and it’s not a disorder or sexual.Being an adult baby is a coping mechanism,stress reliever and is just plain fun.Dl’s or diaper lovers are usually more the sexual fetish type but some dl’s just love wearing diapers and are not sexual either.The name is actually infantilism and is a form of regression,it can also be considered age play.One thing thats sad is if it had been a female alot of people would not have had the same reaction,they would have thought it was cute.It’s proven that 89% of all females that go to collage take some sort of stuffed animal with them and no no one cares but if a male too one he would be made fun of.Anyway about diapers ,not all ab’s use there diapers but a good percentage does do #1 and only a very small amount do #2 .Some of us have a mommy or daddy for example my wife is my mommy too when I in baby mode .I am not in baby mode as often as others maybe once a week but some are babies half or more of there lives.I do sleep with my teddy bear by my side It’s just comforting.Hope somthing I said helps you all to understand better.Sorry for my bad spelling I’m only 2. If anyone has a question feal free to ask.
