What is age regression?
Age regression is when an individual, often one with childhood trauma or extreme stress, reverts to a childlike state of mind. It may or may not be voluntary and is often a coping mechanism. Age regression is always SFW; never say or do something to a regressed person you wouldn't to a child. Age regression is not permanent, however, a regressor may get stuck in their "littlespace" (their regression). A regressor may regress to any age below their current age and it can be determined by how they feel and act in their littlespace; I will be posting a guide on how to figure out your little age in another chapter, so stay posted!
What's the difference between age regression and ageplay/ddlg?
Great question! Whereas age regression is always completely SFW, ageplay/ddlg is predominantly a kink used in sexual roleplays.
Age regression is primarily used as a coping mechanism, and when a person is age regressed, they are in the mindset of a child and likely don't understand sexual topics, never mind have the ability to consent. On the other hand, ageplay/ddlg is acting as a child for sexual gratification without necessarily being in the mindset of one. Commonly, one partner will be a "daddy/mommy dom", who treats the other partner as a child and dominates them, and another will be a "little girl/boy", who acts like a child and submits to the other partner. The roleplay may be harsh or light, but either way, ageplay/ddlg is sexual and is not to be confused with age regression.
