Age Play

Age play is a consensual form of role-play, most often practiced within BDSM, where one or more adult participants take on a persona of a different age than their own. It can involve caregiver and "little" dynamics, comforting routines, or shifts in power and vulnerability. Age play is strictly an adult activity between consenting adults and never involves minors in any way. Like other kink practices, it operates under community frameworks such as Safe, Sane, and Consensual or Risk-Aware Consensual Kink, which stress informed consent, clear boundaries, and negotiated limits. For many people it is about trust, care, and stress relief rather than anything sexual.
