Was Heinlein an ABDL? Baby 08/13/2024 (Tue) 22:47:06 No. 39371
Was the acclaimed science-fiction author Robert Heinlein also an ABDL? Let us take a close look at the content of some of his works. >In Time Enough for Love, the protagonist of the work travels through time to the early twentieth century. In the past, the protagonist signs up with the U.S. Navy, and undergoes a hazing ritual associated with diapers. >Later on in the novel, the protagonist meets some of his relatives (due to natural selection of genes for longevity, the protagonist has an extensive lifespan, and his present life had stretched into the twentieth century). One of these relatives is a toddler, and the wet state of his diaper is specifically mentioned. >In Stranger in a Strange Land, the protagonist, a man who had been raised by Martians and who possessed strong psychic functioning, gives a speech to his followers. In this speech, the protagonist specifically praises babies who need frequent diaper changes. I would like to point out that Heinlein covered some other topics that are adjacent to fetishes in some of his other works. For example, one of his works involved the swapping of bodies. Personally, I think that there is actually a good chance that Heinlein was ABDL. Even if he is not, I think that some of his ABDL-adjacent work was pretty cool. I already liked Heinlein for his acknowledgement of the uncreated nature of the soul, and for often involving psychic phenomena in his science-fiction novels. If he is also ABDL, well, that would just add to my appreciation for him. What are your thoughts?
>>39371 I also recall the "specialization is for insects" speech opening with the line "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog...", etc. Was he ABDL? Almost certainly not. I think it's more just a synechdoche for finding grandeur in the mundanity of human spirit.
>>39378 I recall hearing that quote as well, though at the time I thought nothing of it. I think that he deliberately valued using seeming irreverence to highlight actual numinosity, so I think that you might be right there. It was really the confluence of multiple factors that led me to wonder about the matter.
>>39371 If Heinlen was around today he'd be very active in the diaper fascism threads on this board. I think a lot of fantasy/sci-fi authors have weird fetishes. George RR Martin makes it really obvious. But on the ABDL front I remember in Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book he has a very specific description about what the main character's (who's a toddler at the time) wet diaper smells like. Also, Stephen King mentions adult characters in diapers or wetting themselves fairly often. There's even a line in The Stand where the main female character talks about having diaper rash, but she's just referring to being uncomfortable in her crotch. Not actual diaper rash.
>>39383 >Also, Stephen King mentions adult characters in diapers or wetting themselves fairly often. There's even a line in The Stand where the main female character talks about having diaper rash, but she's just referring to being uncomfortable in her crotch. Not actual diaper rash. Stephen King said he was incontinent following a severe UTI. Now he says he keeps diapers handy "just in case". I'd guess he is at least DL. That said, can't say I care one way or the other. I would be glad to have more celebs who need or want to wear diapers helping to break the stigma of wearing diapers; but after all that, he is still the King of the macabre and a brilliant author - diapers or not love reading his work.
>>39387 I had not known that Stephen King had recovered from his incontinence, actually. For some reason I thought that his incontinence was natal. It is interesting to hear that he still keeps diapers around, though.
