    Question: We are faced with the issue of a 19-year-old male wearing a diaper and about 2 months ago, he chose to live with a 33-year-old man, although the 19-year-old maintains he is not homosexual. The 19-year-old believes that wearing a diaper is normal and that is what he wants to do. What category does this fall under? Are there some resources available? What might be the underlying reason for wanting to live in diapers?    Dr. Pies' Answer


    Question: I'm a freelance journalist working for a reputable news organization. I often write about changes in society and their effects on us.

I feel that as more and more people work from home the traditional symptoms of cabin fever will become more prominent again...    Dr. Pies' Answer
