爲緩解壓力 24歲美國女子癡迷扮嬰兒

Heidi, 24, is a sales associate from Oregon. She is also a "little" part of a subculture of people who enjoy dressing up as adult babies for several hours a day.

24歲的海蒂是美國俄勒岡州一名銷售助理。此外，她還是“嬰兒扮演”亞文化羣中的一份子，愛好這種文化的成人每天喜歡花幾個小時扮演嬰兒。

For Heidi, age play isn't sexual, and she uses dressing up as a 1- to 3-year-old to escape her worries in the real world.

海蒂扮演嬰兒無關乎性，她把自己打扮成1-3歲的寶寶是爲了逃避現實生活中的煩惱。

She'll usually spend an hour or so a day doing baby play, when she'll wear her hair in pigtails and dress up in pink, childlike outfits, wear a nappy (which she doesn't use in place of the toilet), play with toys, and babble and move around as a child would.

她通常每天花上一個小時左右扮演嬰兒，在這期間她扎着小辮，身穿粉色的稚嫩的嬰兒連體服，穿着尿布（實際上不用），玩兒玩具，呀呀學語，像孩子一樣踱步。

'I'll play with toys such as blocks, stuffed animals, and dolls, or dress up,' Heidi said. 'When I'm little, I forget about any adult problem I may have had.'

海蒂說：“我會玩兒積木、填充動物玩具和洋娃娃這些玩具，或者穿嬰兒的衣服。而且當我覺得自己是小孩子的時候，我會忘記所有成人的煩惱。”

She's been open with her friends and boyfriend about her lifestyle choice. Her boyfriend is understanding.

她在朋友和男友面前也不隱瞞自己選擇的生活方式，而男友對她的愛好表示理解。

'He doesn't mind me calling him daddy, and he thinks my pacifiers are cute. When I'm not little, he is simply a boyfriend to me,' she said.

她對此表示：“他不介意我叫他爸爸，並且他認爲我的奶嘴很可愛。當我不是小孩的時候，他就是我的男朋友。”
