One of my coworkers posted an album containing photographs of his infant on Flickr because, apparently, that’s what you do when you have a baby. This way, friends and family members from around the globe can gaze upon your bundle of joy and oooooh and aaaaah and say things like:

• “Oh! He has Shirley’s nose!”
• “Hmm …that look’s like mom’s chin!”
• “Gad! He has Ralph’s temperament!”
• “Omigod why the fuck is he white?!”

And grandma still can’t say anything because she’s either dead or cannot, for the life of her, locate the small blue “E” shortcut you placed in the center of her empty desktop. This is considering you are not an evil bastard and opted not to loan her your old FreeBSD workstation. In that case she’s probably using it as a narrow end table.

Anyways, these baby pictures are fairly standard infant shots – you’ve got your “baby smiling in a car seat”, “baby being held by various family members”, and the obligatory “baby in a bear outfit”. All the bases are covered. Nothing out of the ordinary.

But then something interesting happened. And by “interesting” I mean “fucking crazy”. One day, a stranger (whom I will refer to as “Travis”) posted a comment on one of the photographs – a picture of the baby in diapers. The comment said:

what size pamper are those

It seemed like a weird comment for some random stranger to post so my coworker pulled up the user’s account and found himself staring at a photo album containing grown women and babies – all in diapers. Travis’ profile yielded a snapshot of his insane-looking mug and the following description:

i like to collect pics of babies wearing there wet diapers and pictures of cribs and crib mattress from every angle of them and different points of veiws of pics so send me some of ur pics of theses lets chat about them here are some of mine i found tell me wat u think of my pics lets share pics and let me know about mine and wat u think

I’m Male and Single.

Single? Really?

This is where things started to get awesome. Who the fuck is this guy? And is he for real? Disappointed in the lack of personal information in his profile, I scrolled down to check out his contacts – all six of them.

The first account was filled with snapshots of a pregnant woman and picture captions begging for comments. Most of the feedback applauded her sexiness and lusted over her huge preggo belly, and one of them mentioned cumming all over it. Of course, Travis posted a comment asking if she had any more diaper pics.

The second account contained photographs of dolls. That sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Now imagine pages of dolls being crushed in trash compactors full of stinky diapers, dolls stuffed with soiled diapers, dolls in a tub wearing – you guessed it. Dirty diapers. Travis left a comment proclaiming his love of wet diapers on a photo depicting a landfill, but the best comment by far was left by some user whose account was since deleted:

Did you see any diapers opened with poop?

Fuck yes.

The rest of them had their albums set to private; I can only imagine what insanity lived there. Possibly pregnant women eating chili out of bowls constructed with diapers and glue. Maybe goats wearing soggy diapers in a Jack in the Box parking lot while men wearing pregnancy suits humped car bumpers. Maybe something more insane.

As weird as this all was, I was still feeling alright with myself (in other words, I wasn’t nauseous – I mean, dolls stuffed with shitty diapers and cumming on pregnant bellies are both hot and all…) and felt like I was missing something. It turns out I was. The final section in his profile – his public groups – yielded one entry: the “Diaper Wearers” group.

I officially discovered the dark, soiled underbelly of the Internet. You know it’s there. Everyone knows it’s there. Everyone knows the world is full of strange and twisted individuals, but it never really sets in until your gazing upon it first-hand. Among the group threads about young men sharing pictures of them in pull-ups and old men in diapers was a short thread by our buddy Travis:

i jerk off and wear baby’s used and new diapers i wanna knw if any 1 else has done that before and or has been in a crib and jerked off in a baby’s wet diaper let me know. or if you have any photo’s of baby’s in bulging wet diapers or crib mattress pics email me

Jackpot.

Now, is it wrong to judge a person based on their fetishes, no matter how obscure (and by “obscure” I mean “fucked-up”)? Who cares I like to jack off to grannies in overalls while listening to Evanescence? I don’t really, but did reading that alter your opinion of me? Actually, it’s probably pretty low anyways; you just read a blog entry I wrote about soggy diapers.

People are entitled to their idiosyncrasies as long as they aren’t creepy fuckers about it. I relate back to my coworker’s infant and what Travis probably did with the diaper picture. Had he resisted leaving an asinine comment on the picture everything would still be dandy – the whole “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” rule. Hell, it could even be considered my coworker’s fault for keeping his baby pictures public. But since he broke that barrier, a child’s history is forever soiled (no pun intended).

Unfortunately, Travis’ account has been canceled—most likely due to a terms of service violation. Bummer. I really wanted to fuck with this guy.
