Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb has been counseling individuals and couples in the area of human sexuality for over 20 years. She received her PhD in clinical sexology from the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists in Orlando, FL and her Masters of Science in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. She has certifications in sex therapy, marriage & family therapy and clinical hypnosis.

She began her counseling career working in reproductive health clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, specializing in education and counseling around healthy sexuality, contraceptive and sexually transmitted infection care.

She has been a sex therapist in private practice for over 10 years specializing in the alternative sexuality communities, such as open relationships, ABDL, GLBT, BDSM, kink and fetishes. She wrote her doctoral dissertation on the mental health experience of ABDL individuals, specializes in therapy for this community and has done speaking on the subject to help promote better understanding for individuals and their families.

Her approach to therapy is helping people to understand, accept and appreciate their sexuality with all the wonderful unique flavors that come with it. Shame, embarrassment, guilt and fear are poisonous to healthy sexual expression so letting go of old, irrational and impractical belief patterns can pave the way for a new and exciting beginning.

DaddaG a.k.a. LittleBoyGra My involvement in the ABDL and Age play community started way back in 2003 in Sydney Australia. I started out as a DL and I enjoyed some adult baby time as well. As things evolved I started enjoying more time, being a dad to adult baby boys and before too long I was recognized globally as a daddy. I am very experienced in age play and I have looked after hundreds of boys. One of the big reasons for me being a well known and successful dad, is that my little side has helped me understand what littles like and it has helped me tailor experiences for the little boys I have cared for, in that I want them to experience what I would want as a little. I also have a cute little side and I identify with being about 3 years of age. I love being cared for and that age to me was when in real life I was a happy little boy with loving parents who looked after me. 

Gus joined the community back in 2005 and has been an avid event attendee, attending events such as FetFest, Abdulia, Capcon, and TeddyCon. This year at Teddycon Gus alongside DaddaG will be leading the roundtable discussion on the topic of switching and couldn't be happier to be facilitating. 

SquirmyBoy holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University and a J.D. from the University of Illinois. He is proud that he has never left school. In his (semi-) grown up life, he is a professor at NYU. A love for learning and hours in the library prompted him to diversify his studies from environmental and urban planning into psychology and sexology, in an attempt to better understand why he had the little desires he did. What he found in delving into the research was nothing less than transformative, and he as a result has been working on a theoretical book, entitled: Forever Young: Ageplay, ABDLs, and Psychosexual Theory. In this book and in his wider work he explores early psychologists' writings on sexual and personality theory and their relevance for understanding sexual development and ABDLs specifically.
