Thank you. This is a beautiful post. As someone that is both a fan of age regression play and someone that was abused as a child (14 years old), I definitely appreciate the gravity of this kind of play.

For those that may be unfamiliar, Daddy/Little is a bit different than Daddy/Daughter or Daddy/Son. Daddy/Little is a bit of a deviation from a familial dynamic; the "little" is not specifically someone in the family. There is can be a close, intimate dynamic, but it is not necessarily incestuous.

I think your insight is excellent. This explains a lot of the appeal, I think, for many Littles. It also explains how, for example, a Daddy/Little dynamic does not typically include incest play (that's more what a Daddy/Daughter dynamic would do).

Hmmmmm, Interesting. That's an aspect that I had not considered, thank you for enlightening us.

I think it needs to be clear, simply having an age difference is not the same as Age Regression Play or "Daddies and Littles" or "Daddies and... anything else" that works for that couple's dynamic. Daddies and Littles (and other Age Regression Play) are a sexual dynamic which is consensual, but where the "Daddy" (or Mommy) treats the "Little" in a child like manner, with and without sexual acts. (That's really simplifying it. I don't engage in the activity, so I can't go into great detail. But, I do have an understanding of this type of dynamic.)

My Man and I are different ages, but we have no Age Regression dynamic in our relationship. Simply being 5, 10, 15 or 20 or more years apart does not mean that a "Daddy and Little" (etc) dynamic is taking place.

I just wanted to clear that up.

A couple can be two completely different ages and NOT involved in Age Play or they can be the SAME age, or the "Parent" can even be younger than the Little, and yet they may choose an Age Regression Dynamic for their relationship.

Noo..

For some people it is in fact roleplay. Some people only engage in Daddy/girl play in the bedroom. Others engage outside of it. Some are in it 24/7 as a lifestyle or relationship dynamic.

It works the same as relationships that are centered around Dominant/submissive or Master/slave are. Not everyone lives or has too life those as a lifestyle. For some people BDSM is nothing but roleplaying for others it is a way of life.

It is nice to have someone more articulate than I am on here to explain the dynamic of this type of situation. I am with my Master / daddy for a long time. We have been married for almost 5 years after being together for some years before that. We are not very public with that part of our relationship although it would not take someone very long to figure out ours is not a typical power dynamic in a relationship. We do not do the age regression part for me, however with him being older than me it is not necessary.
