A is for Age Play

[icey]

Yes, this is an interesting one. Do you think perhaps the attraction to age play is because our childrenhood is when --well for most of us anway-- we have the least worries and responsibilites? Therefor, is regressing back to childhood, even for just a short time, what makes it so appealing?

Or what we missed out on in our childhood? Feeling protected and cared for. Feeling secure, when cuddled, like nothing can ever harm you or hurt you. Being given direction and having consequences when directions aren't followed. Being guided in the right direction and praised when you've been good. Having someone, who is proud of you just because you're you.

I think it might work both ways, Alex.

i think both are true, and for some its simply a way of being who they are and often it begins unintentionally and for others its a lifestyle in itsself.

or a release from day to day life and simply an enjoyment of the fun that can be had,playing in the parks, colouring pictures, having some control from educating the little one in various different ways

and for others it can be a safe way of actually having a childhood they were perhaps robbed of and never learned to 'grow up' and they gradually 'grow up' through it... a kind of therapy perhaps?

plus the sex side is good too although that can be and sometimes is potentially dangerous.

an old thread but interesting and just a thought or two of my own.
