Woman, 21, lives life as a newborn baby

A 21-year-old woman named Jess takes part in ''age play'' which involves dressing in adult size baby-grows, wearing nappies, drinking from baby bottles and also sucking on a dummie.

Jess - who works as a nanny in Florida - takes herself back to when she was an infant to help cope with the traumatic sexual abuse that she suffered as a child and finds the lifestyle much more effective than therapy.

She told The Sun newspaper: ''Age play is really my best escape and it allows me to reclaim the innocence of my childhood and have it play out the way I always wanted.

''Aside from that though, regressing and being 'little' just fits with my personality.

''It allows me to be playful and cute, which is what I'm like naturally anyway and so I think that I would definitely still be living this lifestyle if I'd had a more 'normal' childhood.''

And Jess lives with her 24-year-old boyfriend, David, who encourages his lover to dress as an infant with the couple enjoying various forms of bondage and discipline practices such as - Daddy Dominant/Little Girl (DDLG), Adult Baby Diaper Lover (ABDL) and Age Play (AP) - but Jess reassures that her role as a child isn't the aphrodisiac to their sex life.

Jess said: ''We never have sex while I'm age playing but for a lot of people it is a sexual kink.''
