     There is some so childish and little feeling about making a big pushie in my pants or diapers...I love it😋

     Sure you don't! You also don't love being praised for making pushies like a good baby boy, after all... You don't like getting intimately changed by a loving Mommy as she coos, patting your head for knowing exactly what your diapers are for~
