As Florida’s six-week abortion ban looms, Stand With Abortion Now clinic escorts fight anti-choice propaganda with music, laughter and social media savvy
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Less than 12 hours after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban into law, a small group of volunteer clinic escorts stood guard outside one of Orlando’s only private abortion clinics, where protesters gather daily to harass patients (they call it “help”).
It’s a Friday morning. It’s a little after 9 a.m. and the air is already hot and muggy, courtesy of Florida’s April showers. An Orlando Police Department cruiser with rainbow accents, designed to honor the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting that occurred just a mile away, sits parked in front of the clinic.
The Center of Orlando for Women is one of the few remaining options that Floridians — and the thousands of Americans who travel to Florida from out of state for care — have for getting an abortion.
This has made it both a haven for abortion access across the South, and a target.
John Barros, a “pro-life” Evangelist who’s protested outside the Center for 20 years, stands in front of the small clinic on Friday, on the public sidewalk, as he does every weekday.
Clutching a pair of crutches, John clasps his hands around his mouth, shouting messages towards the clinic doors that
range from offers of assistance to patients inside (“We’ll do anything for you”) to harping on the “horrors” of abortion.
This is his “yell,” said Betty, a volunteer clinic escort and founder of the group Stand With Abortion Now, or SWAN, who spoke with Orlando Weekly Barros, or one of his other fellow protesters, do the “yell” each time a wave of patients arrives for their appointments — at least once in the morning and once in the early afternoon, according to Betty.
Generally, this “yell” consists of about how abortion is wrong, that those seeking care from the clinic have other options, and that God wouldn’t approve. Some protesters are more aggressive, shouting that those inside (and the escorts outside) are “murderers.”
But on Friday morning, ABBA’s jaunty tune “Waterloo” plays over loudspeakers on the clinic’s private property as John does his morning yell.
Over the course of the morning, Madonna’s classic “Like a Virgin” and Cardi B’s iconic “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion also play over the speakers.
The music, set up by SWAN with the clinic’s consent, isn’t loud enough to disrupt the small clinic’s neighboring medical
offices in a business park just south of downtown Orlando.
But it’s enough to drown out the anti-abortion protesters shouting at the patients who, with varying degrees of confidence, walk in and out of the clinic’s doors.
And those patients aren’t alone.
Volunteers with SWAN, or “SWANs,” as they call themselves, act as clinic escorts and clinic defenders. They take on the task of guiding patients to and from the clinic wherever they’re coming from.
Some patients are dropped off for their appointments out front. Some patients park in a lot behind the small building, and some walk up to the clinic from public transit.
The SWANs, often clad in neon pink vests, accompany patients or walk beside them as they approach the clinic, using umbrellas to shield patients’ faces from protesters.
“One of the things that the anti protesters will do is they will take pictures of everyone coming in and out of the clinic,” Tanya, a SWAN volunteer, told Orlando Weekly. Some of the more “prolific” photographers, she added, will post patients’ faces on their “very open, very public” social media.
Anne, an anti-choice protester outside the clinic Saturday, wears a recording device that rests on her chest.
But they’re not the only ones who see social media as a useful tool.
Each day the clinic’s open, SWANs show up in shifts to shield patients, offer emotional support as necessary, and to blast protesters’ antics on their TikTok account, which has amassed over 240,000 followers and 15.3 million video “likes.”

On the platform, they’ve created a playlist for videos featuring Barros, who they refer to simply as “John,” and for some of the other “anti’s” (shorthand for anti-abortion protesters) who regularly show up to the clinic, including some folks who travel from outside Orlando.
The activist group’s videos ridicule the protesters and document the group’s interactions with them.
“Daddy Jesus! Give it to us now so that we can harass strangers about their healthcare choices, while we actively vote against benefits for children, benefits for teachers, benefits for parents,” Betty, the group’s founder, cries facetiously in one video, kneeling beside a group of white, praying antiabortion protesters, wielding a rainbow umbrella.
Their videos showcase the SWANs’ use of musical instruments, bubble-makers, costumes and other creative responses to not only deter and distract clinic protesters, but to also create a less scary situation for clinic patients.
“[We’re] fighting absurdity with absurdity,” Casey, a SWAN, told Orlando Weekly. “It’s insane that these people are out here every single day trying to harass these patients.”
While seemingly silly and lighthearted on its face — the protesters call the SWANs “carnies” — the group says their unconventional approach helps make themselves (and the clinic) more approachable for patients. Literally.
It can also help dial down the intensity of the situation for patients who might otherwise face unguarded harassment from protesters, who are known to confront patients in their vehicles and stalk them up until they reach the clinic’s private property.
“It is very serious work,” Lily, another SWAN, asserted. “It is life-changing for some people, and it is life-threatening for others.”
Incidents of assault and battery outside abortion clinics — including kicking, shoving, slapping and other physical altercations — have risen over the years, from 15 reported
incidents in 2018 to 123 in 2021, according to a report from the National Abortion Federation.
Clinic staff and escorts at a Clearwater abortion clinic earlier this year asked their local city council for help, telling the Tampa Bay Times they’ve seen increased hostility from protesters since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision last year.
The Center for Investigative Reporting has also reported a surge in harassment of abortion clinics, highlighting a tumultuous journey faced by the owner of a clinic in Jacksonville.
A federal law, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, makes it illegal to block the entryway of an abortion clinic, and to trespass or threaten violence. But the 1994 law doesn’t block protesters from holding up graphic anti-abortion signs, or shouting outside of a clinic.
It’s not a safe (or paid) job, showing up to help protect patients from harassment.
One of the anti-choice protesters, according to SWAN member Winnie, has brought her own gun.
The clinic itself hires off-duty cops a couple days per week to keep an eye on things, to stand guard, and intervene if the protesters cross onto clinic property.
Orlando Police officer “Danny” Torres on Friday walks the perimeter of the property, out front and in the back, where the parking lot is located, to make sure protesters don’t trespass onto the clinic’s private property to harass patients who are out of sight.
For the SWANs, being there for patients who are seeking medical services from the Center (abortion care or not), and documenting what they see from protesters online, is important to them — and they hear as much from their followers as well.
“Our content is definitely revolutionary in the sense that it shows people that we don’t have to be polite or play by the rules anymore,” said Stella, who focuses on SWAN’s social
media. “We have to sort of expose the rising fascism in Florida and the United States for what it really is. And being polite hasn’t really gotten us anywhere.”
ADOPTING A BRAND OF ‘REVOLUTIONARY OPTIMISM’
Stand With Abortion Now is a grass-roots, volunteer-based group that first emerged in 2022.
Adopting a brand of “revolutionary optimism,” the group currently has about 50 volunteers, according to a leadership committee of six volunteers that Orlando Weekly spoke to. They have folks outside the clinic every day it’s open, from the time that the first patient pulls into the clinic’s driveway (if they drive themselves) to the departure of the clinic’s final surgical patient in the afternoon.
But they still consider their group scrappy. Scrappy, but determined.
And it started with the fall of Roe on June 24, 2022.
“I just started shaking,” shared Betty, the group’s founder. “I was angry. I was furious.”
She didn’t want to stew in her rage, or just sit in her house crying. She wanted to do something about it, to fight the vitriol of those who would rather see abortion care fully abolished. She Googled her nearest abortion clinic, where John — and other protesters — had become regular fixtures.
The clinic staff told her they’d never had any clinic escorts outside, so it was usually just the protesters gathered out there.
At first, it was just Betty, who had no prior experience as a clinic escort. She quickly realized that wasn’t going to work. It was too much for one person.
She connected with other now-SWANs who similarly wanted to have some productive way to channel their inner turmoil — their fear, their rage.

And she made a TikTok video — which is how Casey found SWAN.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” Casey shared, as an advocate for abortion rights.
She applied to volunteer for Planned Parenthood, which also runs a clinic escort program, but never heard back.
And, the group admits, SWAN’s approach to escorting is different. Unlike Planned Parenthood, which adopts a strictly non-confrontational approach toward protesters, SWAN will directly engage with those who try to harass clinic patients.
They’ll talk to the protesters, aiming to gauge the safety level, with a goal of distraction or de-escalation as necessary. “And then, two minutes later, we’ll be doing the escort role, and protecting patients’ privacy and covering their faces,” said Winnie.
The group, which identifies as “explicitly anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-LGBTQ, and class conscious,” communicates with other volunteer clinic escort groups in neighboring parts of the state, such as the Umbrella Brigade and Swan City Defenders, both in Lakeland, and the Women’s Advocacy Movement in Pinellas County.
They share tips. Resources. But they also share some of the same protesters, who travel around to various abortion clinics across Florida.
Olivia, 27, was one of the anti-abortion protesters outside of the Orlando clinic the day after Florida’s latest abortion restrictions were signed into law.
She told Orlando Weekly she’s gone out there for four years now, and is there two days a week, in-between full-time work that she did not disclose.
“We’re out here offering women help,” she said, adding that they offer women free financial help, free medical care, “anything that they can need through the duration and after their pregnancies.”
When Orlando Weekly asked how they get women this “free help,” Olivia said they direct women to a local crisis pregnancy center.
Crisis pregnancy centers are fake abortion clinics, sometimes called pregnancy resource centers. They’re generally run by Christian nonprofits, with the aim of persuading people against seeking to end a pregnancy (although they’re often mistaken for real abortion clinics), using manipulative tactics.
In Florida, CPCs also receive millions of dollars in state taxpayer funds alone, and will receive $25 million more when and if Florida’s new abortion law goes into effect.
At this time, that law’s effective date is contingent upon the outcome of a lawsuit filed by abortion providers and advocacy groups concerning Florida’s 15-week abortion limit, passed in 2022.
It’s unclear when a ruling on that will be made, but it’s expected to be sometime after the state’s 2023 legislative session, which concludes May 5.
Reproductive rights advocates have characterized the law as a full-out ban on abortion, since no one really knows they’re pregnant at six weeks.
“This new ban is beyond radical, it’s extreme,” Orlando Rep. Rita Harris stated emphatically, in front of the Florida House before the law’s passage. “There are people in this state right now that don’t even know they are pregnant. They don’t know right at this very minute while I stand here before you that there is a complication. This is a death sentence for them.”
The bill includes exemptions for victims of rape and incest up to 15 weeks of pregnancy, provided they can present fully documented evidence of their trauma.
Minors in Florida already face additional barriers to care, and a separate law — mandating that a person seeking abortion see a doctor twice, at least 24 hours apart — makes the notion
of accessing safe, legal abortion care within six weeks an even greater impossibility.
The Orlando clinic itself is facing hefty fines from the state for allegedly performing same-day abortions against state law.
But these restrictions to abortion access aren’t uniquely Floridian.
According to the New York Times, most abortions are now banned in 13 states, post-Roe. Four states have gestational limits, and eight states have had abortion bans blocked. Dark money and political influence is behind a national movement to abolish abortion care altogether.
The state of Florida, home to over 50 abortion clinics, has long been a safe haven for abortion care in the South, with neighboring states historically having even stricter restrictions in place. Florida’s new restrictions, however, could threaten that if and when they do go into effect.
Betty, SWAN’s founder, told Orlando Weekly she wasn’t surprised by the six-week ban’s passage in Florida. Anyone who was surprised, she said, “hasn’t been paying attention.”
BRAVING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS TOGETHER
Clinic staff, according to SWAN, have grown to appreciate their presence — and that’s part of what keeps the volunteers going.
On Saturdays, the Orlando abortion clinic’s staff wear pink “SWAN” shirts, according to Winnie.
“They are so overwhelmingly kind to us,” she said.
Casey shared that, before the SWANs, the clinic had to deal with protesters alone.
“They don’t have to deal with the death threats, or the bomb threats, or the gun threats, or any of that stuff alone anymore,” she said.
Now, they “share the chaos,” in Casey’s words.
Clinic staff declined to comment for this story when a reporter visited their property Friday. Orlando Weekly also called the Center of Orlando for Women clinic three times for comment on this story, without a response from anyone comfortable speaking to the media in time for publication. (Any response received will be added online.)
On June 24, the one-year anniversary of the group’s founding (as well as one year since the fall of Roe), SWAN is planning to host a carnival-themed birthday/fundraiser of sorts at Redlight Redlight, to celebrate their work and to highlight the abortion clinic’s staff.
“We’re really excited to like, kind of rally that support and show them that the community is really behind them,” said Winnie.
While the fate of abortion clinics in Florida (even those that offer other services) is unclear, SWAN’s leadership committee said they’re not going anywhere.
“We have made a commitment to fighting for abortion access and abortion rights in this state and beyond,” said Tanya. “We will do whatever it takes to get people to the care that they need, whether it’s in the state or outside of it.”
Similar to groups like the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund and Florida Access Network, SWAN has also gained funding from generous donors (they thank their massive TikTok fanbase for that) and have used some of that to help people pay for their abortion procedures.
Their social media fans have asked if the SWANs will move upstate if abortion clinics shutter, but the SWANs aren’t ready to jump ship.
“Even with being in a battleground state, we’re definitely going to continue to fight for our community where we are,” said Stella. “SWAN is not leaving Florida.”

BY SETH KUBERSKY
Although I indulged in Orlando’s energetic nightlife scene during my younger years (RIP I-Bar and Rosie O’Grady’s), today I tend to avoid Orange Avenue and Church Street for the sake of my sanity and hearing. However, last weekend I was lured into the lion’s den by two new venues, and learned that it is possible for adults to enjoy a proper, sound evening downtown.
My first stop was at Proper listening room (112 S. Orange Ave., properorlando.com), the latest venture from developer Jeffrey Gitto’s V Group, and likely one of the last clubs to debut downtown before a moratorium on new bars goes into effect. Surrounded by sumptuous hardwood walls accented with tiger-head wallpaper, I sat on an oversized sofa sipping silky-smooth buttered bourbon with Proper’s artistic director, Kevin G. Becker, whom I’ve known as a friend and collaborator (through our Empty Spaces Theatre Co.) for two decades. His latest gig curating Proper’s entertainment is the culmination of a 40-plus year career in the music and performance industry, which began at age 5 with an appearance on Philadelphia-area TV in the Al Alberts Showcase. Becker first came to Orlando in the 1990s, starting his undergraduate degree in music compositional theory at Rollins (where he DJed on WPRK), then returned in the aughts after touring with his brother in an alternative rock band.
“Music has always been in my blood,” says Becker, who is an avid vinyl collector as well as a musician and composer. Rather than rely on outside promoters (who he says “have no interest really at the end of the day [in] the brand or the bar or the community”), Becker built a “23-slide pitch deck” to convince Gitto into letting him curate both Proper’s extensive, eclectic record collection — currently 965 albums, with a target of 2,000 — as well as the slate of “selectors” who spin the
quartet of top-end turntables.
Listening rooms originated in 1950s Tokyo, and traditionally forced patrons to sit silently focusing on the music. Becker says he and his team have “Orlando-ized” the concept, choosing to focus on “community outreach and community engagement.”
To that end, virtually all of Proper’s vinyl was sourced locally (except for “a few things I’ve had to go into weird Eastern Bloc countries to find”) and local record stores like Remix are being invited to sell their wares at “Cratetails” happy hours. There will also be a members-only Record Club, private monthly events where “you’ll be able to bring in a record or two [and] get to hear something that you love [on] our system.”
That’s a rare opportunity because ordinarily Proper doesn’t accept requests (with limited upcharge exceptions), instead letting the selectors craft a cohesive audio journey. Those curators include both celebrated “resident artists” like Nigel “Blacksuede” John, Blue Star and Mr Mogambo and up-and-coming “house selectors” who Becker says “have deep loves and passions for vinyl and [are] looking to get into the industry,” likening them to an arts incubator program. With no microphones or beats-per-minute mandates, Becker tells his artists, “It’s your living room and the clientele are being invited into your house, [so the] more that you’re sharing rare cuts and rare things that people might not know, the better.”
As the din of Orange Avenue droned on outside the bar’s wide-open front wall, a swinging duet between Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong drifted soothingly from the Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers (each costlier than a luxury car) mounted overhead. That’s just one disc in a diverse library that ranges from the 1930s and 1940s — including vintage recordings by Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker — to 1970s Nigerian funk and modern psychedelic soul. Of course, you’ll also find that some Harry Styles and Lizzo made the cut, and if you ever hear Styx’s “Come Sail Away” in there, you can blame my donation.
Although that wide-open window seems a
strange setup for a sophisticated sonic experience, Becker says Proper’s team is embracing the sounds of our city because their goal is “to bring back the culture and the community that we had in downtown back in the ’90s,” recalling the era of Yab Yum and Go Lounge. “We’re trying to reconnect to that, and the open door is a big piece of that.”
My night downtown continued right around the corner, where Florida Theatrical Association presents Adam Rapp’s Tony Award-nominated drama The Sound Inside through April 30 inside Orlando Fringe’s ArtSpace (54 W. Church St., orlandofringe. org). Rebecca Fisher stars as Bella, a socially isolated college professor in the midst of a personal health crisis, who develops an inappropriately intimate connection with Christopher (Logan Lopez) a promising but perplexing creative writing student.
I’ll spare you any spoilerish details about the story’s tragically inevitable O’Henryesque twists, but suffice to say you should heed my trigger warning about self-harm. Fisher, long one of my favorite Orlando actors, is at her peak here, delivering Rapp’s monologues of dense prose with remarkably restrained intensity. Young Lopez goes toeto-toe with her, with expertly underplayed internal emoting.
In fact, every element of this production — Daniel Cooksley’s blank-canvas revolving set, painted by Amy Hadley’s stark lighting and Josh Seyna’s striking black-and-white projections; Rich Charron’s haunting background score, and most especially Kenny Howard’s reserved direction, which eschews his usual kineticism for static stage pictures — adds up to a uniquely chilling (and chilly) experience. With its challenging subject matter and unremitting emotional tension, I can’t exactly suggest The Sound Inside as an evening of light entertainment. But even if I never quite warmed up to its icy protagonist, this show makes another compelling argument for serious arts-seeking adults to sound out Orlando’s latest arrivals, and give downtown Orlando a proper chance.

34 ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 26-MAY 2, 2023 ● orlandoweekly.com
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): After the fall of the Roman Empire, political cohesion in its old territories was scarce for hundreds of years. Then a leader named Charlemagne (747–814) came along and united much of what we now call Western Europe. He was unusual in many respects. For example, he sought to master the arts of reading and writing. Most other rulers of his time regarded those as paltry skills that were beneath their dignity. I mention this fact, Taurus, because I suspect it’s a propitious time to consider learning things you have previously regarded as unnecessary or irrelevant or outside your purview. What might these abilities be?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m turning this horoscope over to Nigerian poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo. She has three messages that are just what you need to hear right now. No. 1: “Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have.” No. 2: “You must let the pain visit. You must allow it to teach you. But you must not allow it to overstay.” No. 3: “Write a poem for your 14-year-old self. Forgive her. Heal her. Free her.”
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Historical records tell us that Chinese Emperor Hungwu (1328–1398) periodically dealt with overwhelming amounts of decision-making. During one 10-day phase of his reign, for example, he was called on to approve 1,660 documents concerning 3,391 separate issues. Based on my interpretation of the planetary omens, I suspect you may soon be called on to deal with a similar outpouring. This might tempt you toward over-stressed reactions like irritation and self-medication. But I hope you’ll strive to handle it all with dignity and grace. In fact, that’s what I predict you will do. In my estimation, you will be able to summon the extra poise and patience to manage the intensity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is it even possible for us humans to live without fear — if even for short grace periods? Could you or I or anyone else somehow manage to celebrate, say, 72 hours of freedom from all worries and anxieties and trepidations? I suspect the answer is no. We may aspire to declare our independence from dread, but 200,000 years of evolution ensures that our brains are hard-wired to be ever-alert for danger. Having provided that perspective, however, I will speculate that if anyone could approach a state of utter dauntlessness, it will be you Leos in the next three weeks. This may be as close as you will ever come to an extended phase of bold, plucky audacity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Sunny Bright Cheery Upbeat Astrologer: You give us too many sunny, bright, cheery, upbeat predictions. They lift my mood when I first read them, but later I’m like, ‘What the hell?’ Because yeah, they come true, but they usually cause some complications I didn’t foresee. Maybe you should try offering predictions that bum me out, since then I won’t have to deal with making such big adjustments. — Virgo Who Is Weary of Rosy Hopeful Chirpy Horoscopes.”
Dear Virgo: You have alluded to a key truth about reality — good changes often require as much modification and adaptation as challenging changes. Another truth: One of my specialties is helping my readers manage those good changes. And by the way: I predict the next two weeks will deliver a wealth of interesting and buoyant changes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Poet Pablo Neruda wrote, “Let us look for secret things somewhere in the world on the blue shores of silence.” That might serve as a good motto for you in the coming weeks. By my astrological reckoning, you’ll be wise to go in quest for what’s secret, concealed and buried. You will generate fortuitous karma by smoking out hidden agendas and investigating the rest of the story beneath the apparent story. Be politely pushy, Libra. Charmingly but aggressively find the missing information and the shrouded rationales. Dig as deep as you need to go to explore the truth’s roots.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): We’ve all done things that make perfect sense to us, though they might look nonsensical or inexplicable to an outside observer. Keep this fact in your awareness during the next two weeks, Scorpio. Just as you wouldn’t want to be judged by uninformed people who don’t know the context of your actions, you should extend this same courtesy to others, especially now. At least some of what may appear nonsensical or inexplicable will be serving a valuable purpose. Be slow to judge. Be inclined to offer the benefit of the doubt.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I completely understand if you feel some outrage about the lack of passion and excellence you see in the world around you. You have a right to be impatient with the laziness and carelessness of others. But I hope you will find ways to express your disapproval constructively. The best approach will be to keep criticism to a minimum and instead focus on generating improvements. For the sake of your mental health, I suggest you transmute your anger into creativity. You now have an enhanced power to reshape the environments and situations you are part of so they work better for everyone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the 17th century, renowned Capricorn church leader James Ussher announced he had discovered when the world had been created. It was at 6 p.m. on Oct. 22 in the year 4004 BCE, he said. From this spectacularly wrong extrapolation, we might conclude that not all Capricorns are paragons of logic and sound analysis 100 percent of the time. I say we regard this as a liberating thought for you in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, it will be a favorable time to indulge in wild dreams, outlandish fantasies and imaginative speculations. Have fun, dear Capricorn, as you wander out in the places that singer Tom Petty referred to as “The Great Wide Open.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): We often evaluate prospects quantitatively: How big a portion do we get, how much does something cost, how many social media friends can we add? Quantity does matter in some cases, but on other occasions may be trumped by quality. A few close, trustworthy friends may matter more than hundreds of Instagram friends we barely know. A potential house may be spacious and affordable, but be in a location we wouldn’t enjoy living in. Your project in the coming weeks, Aquarius, is to examine areas of your life that you evaluate quantitatively and determine whether there are qualitative aspects neglected in your calculations.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Dear Dr. Astrology: Help! I want to know which way to go. Should I do the good thing or the right thing? Should I be kind and sympathetic at the risk of ignoring my selfish needs? Or should I be a pushy stickler for what’s fair and true, even if I look like a preachy grouch? Why is it so arduous to have integrity? — Pinched Pisces.” Dear Pisces: Can you figure out how to be halfgood and half-right? Half-self-interested and half-generous? I suspect that will generate the most gracious, constructive results.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to a study by Newsweek magazine, 58 percent of us yearn to experience spiritual growth; 33 percent report having had a mystical or spiritual experience; 20 percent of us say we have had a revelation from God in the last year; and 13 percent have been in the presence of an angel. Given the astrological omens currently in play for you, Aries, I suspect you will exceed all those percentages in the coming weeks. I hope you will make excellent use of your sacred encounters. What two areas of your life could most benefit from a dose of divine assistance or intervention? There’s never been a better time than now to seek a Deus ex machina.

I’m away this week. Please enjoy this column from June of 2018. — Dan
I’ve been married to my husband for two years. Five months into our relationship (before we got married), he confessed that he was an adult baby. I was so grossed out, I was literally ill. (Why would this great guy want to be like this?) I told him he would have to choose: diapers or me. He chose me. I believed him and married him.
Shortly before the birth of our child, I found out that he’d been looking at diaper porn online. I lost it. He apologized and said he’d never look at diaper porn again. Once I was free to have sex again after the birth, it was like he wasn’t into it. When I asked what the deal was, he told me he wasn’t into sex because diapers weren’t involved. I broke down, and he agreed to talk to a counselor. But on the day we were supposed to go, he was mad about every little thing I did and then said he wasn’t going! I went crazy and called his mom and told her everything, and she said she found a diaper under his bed when he was 7!
After this crisis, he agreed to work things out, but then I found adult-size diapers in the house — and not for the first time! I took a picture and sent it to him, and he told me that he was tired of me controlling him and he is going to do this when he wants. He also said he was mad at me for telling his mom. I told him no, absolutely not, he cannot do this. Then I found adult-size diapers in the house again this morning and freaked out.
He says he never wants to discuss diapers with me again, and I’m afraid he might choose them over me! Please give me advice on how to make him understand that this is not him! This is who he chooses to be! And he doesn’t have to be this way!
Married A Disgusting Diaper Lover
First, MADDL, let’s calmly discuss this with a shrink.
“There’s a fair bit of controversy over whether people can suppress fetishistic desires like this — and whether it’s healthy to ask them to do so,” says Dr. David Ley, a clinical psychologist, author and AASECTcertified sex therapist. “Personally, I believe in some cases, depending on the support of their environment and personal relationships, it is possible, but only when these desires are relatively mild in intensity.”
Your husband’s interest in diapers — which would seem to go all the way back to at least age 7 — can’t be described as mild.
“Given the apparent strength and persistence of her husband’s interest, I think it unlikely that suppression could ever be successful,” Ley says. “In this case, I think
MADDL’s desire for her husband to have sexual desires she agrees with in order for her to be married to him is a form of sexual extortion, i.e., ‘If you love me and want to be with me, you’ll give up this sexual interest that I find disgusting.’ Without empathy, mutual respect, communication, unconditional love, and a willingness to negotiate and accommodate compromises and win-win solutions, this couple is doomed, regardless of diapers under the bed.”
Now let’s bring in a voice you rarely hear when diaper fetishists are being discussed: an actual diaper fetishist.
“The common misconception with ABDL (adult baby diaper lovers) is that they are into inappropriate things — like having an interest in children — and this couldn’t be more wrong,” said Pup Jackson, a 20-something diaper lover and kink educator. “AB is not always sexual. Sometimes it’s a way for a person to disconnect from their adult life and become someone else. With DLs, they aren’t necessarily into age play — they enjoy diapers and the way they feel, much like people enjoy rubber, Lycra or other materials. To understand her husband, MADDL needs to ask questions about why her husband enjoys diapers and figure out how to deal with it — because a lot of people want/need these kinds of outlets in their life.”
OK, MADDL, now it’s time for me to share my thoughts with you, but — Christ almighty — I hardly know where to begin.
“Great guys” can be into diapers; this is not who your husband “chooses to be,” since people don’t choose their kinks any more than they choose their sexual orientation; outing your husband to his mother was unforgivable and could ultimately prove to be a fatal-to-your-marriage violation of trust; a counselor isn’t going to be able to reach into your husband’s head and yank out his kink. (“I absolutely hate that therapists are seen as sexual enforcers who are supposed to carve away any undesirable sexual interests and make people ‘normal,’” Ley says.)
You’re clearly not interested in understanding your husband’s kink, per Pup Jackson’s advice, nor are you open to working out an accommodation that allows your husband to explore his kink on his own, per Dr. Ley’s advice. Instead you’ve convinced yourself that if you pitch a big enough fit, your husband will choose a spouse who makes him feel terrible about himself over a kink that gives him pleasure. And that’s not how this is going to play out.
Your husband told you he was into diapers before he married you — he laid his kink cards on the table at five months, long before you scrambled your DNA together — and he backed down when you freaked out.
He may have thought he could choose you over his kink, MADDL, but now he knows what Dr. Ley could’ve told you two before the wedding: Suppressing a kink
just isn’t possible. So if you can’t live with the diaper lover you married — if you can’t accept his kink, allow him to indulge it on his own and refrain from blowing up when you stumble onto any evidence — do that diaper-loving husband of yours a favor and divorce him.
I’m a 33-year-old man, and for years I’ve practiced edging. Recently I’ve experimented with long-term edges, where I’ll withhold coming for days or weeks while still maintaining a daily masturbation practice. I love living on that horny edge, and I’ve even learned to love the ache in my balls. But is this safe? Am I setting myself up for prostate/testicular trouble down the road?
Priapus Precipice
A study conducted by researchers from Boston University School of Public Health and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that men who masturbated at least 21 times per month — masturbated and ejaculated — were at lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men who ejaculated less than 21 times per month (“Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” European Urology). Read the study, PP, weigh the slightly increased risks against the immediate (and horny) rewards, and make an informed (and horny) choice.
