coping mechanism

[jelly_bean1692]

I was abused sexually as a child and stumbled on DDlg by accident and never told anyone. its helped a lot, but only want it to be non-sexual, because  I'm not comfortable with normal intimacy. does anyone else use it in a similar way?

I can't tell you by my own experience since I haven't had a DDLG relationship yet, but as far as I know, yes, there are DDLG relationships without sex x) I'm sure someone will tell you more things soon as I know there are caregivers that don't want/need sex.

Absolutely. I got into age regression as a way to confront and work through childhood trauma. It has been incredibly helpful, and I am honestly amazed at the progress I have made since embracing this lifestyle.

 

In psych, there is something called "reparenting" your inner child. It might be worth looking into if you have found DDLG to be beneficial for you.

 

I am also (mostly) non-sexual, but I do think DDLG has helped me become more comfortable with platonic physical contact like hugs and handshakes.

 

Just please don't feel like you're weird or whatever for doing whatever it is you need to do to heal.

I am 100% nonsexual. Little and big. I always disliked the idea of sex.

I agree with being a little helping out with childhood traumas and experiences as well as current traumas. It aids me in these situations as well. 

Very comforting to accept who I am as a little. 

I agree with PrincessKittenCupcake on the subject of 'reparenting' your inner child. Why I'm in this lifestyle as well as embracing my young at heart demeanor. 

You definitely are not alone jelly bean.

I was also abused as a child and that's what led me into the world of age regression and DDlg. I've found it to be incredibly healing for me. I'm non-sexual when I'm little, but I prefer for my relationship with my daddy to also be romantic/sexual when I'm big. If you want a completely platonic caregiver there are people out there who are also interested in that. Just don't let anyone pressure you into thinking that you have to be sexual. You can be in a non-sexual relationship, and you can also be little alone if you want! I'm sending you a friend request right now, if you want to talk <3
