Ageplay vs DDLG vs Agere vs ABDL?

[junebug0325]

I have been in the community for years and only seen a dozen or so sexual littles.

 

Ok, then your opinion is valid. I have also been in the community for a couple of years now. Mostly everyone I've met in the community that is involved with DDLG has been sexual. The power exchange dynamic is inherently sexual, which is why DDLG is considered a kink, and why the Age Regression community and the DDLG community are two different communities and should not collide with each other. Minors, who are involved within the Age Regression community do not consent to kink, and therefore are not into DDLG.

I would never use the term for anything other than a sexual role play thing.

you can use whatever term you choose. However you don't have the right to demand others to do so. there is no right or wrong way of being little or a daddy as long as it is not predatory.

You should not forget that adults are still adults as well.

 

I'm not making any demands, and you are more than free to use that term. I'm not the baby police. lol

You would just also happen to be wrong and potentially harming others in the community.

As an adult, both of those things are your choice. Because ageplay is an adult choice, after all, and not simply a personality trait. <3

you have met a lot of people that have sex while little? Minors don't consent anyway. once you are an adult you can consent unless you are mentally unable to

you are free to feel your way is the only correct way but it isn't. insisting that your way is the only correct way in demanding. age play implies it is a actual choice and you can switch it on and off at will that is not necessarily true. I have listened to many say that they have trouble getting into little space, so it is not that simple for others.

 

your way is not the only way and to insist that it is, is wrong and damaging to others.

It isn't my way, it is the way that has long been decided by the community. It is an actual choice, as you are an adult, and you are choosing to participate in it. Littles may "slip in" to little space, but this is a very different animal than age regression, which it appears you are describing. Some littles are also 24/7, which is again, an important part of many people's personality, but is still an active choice. They are making the decision to participate. Of course it isn't one's choice to be attracted to ageplay or any other paraphilia, but it is one's choice to participate in it. If it wasn't a choice, it would be age regression. 

 

You're right in that some littles have trouble getting into little space. Some Doms have trouble getting into Dom space, some pets have trouble getting into pet space. They are having issues actively getting into that space, a space they are trying to get into. That is a choice.

 

I'm sorry that you obviously feel so attacked. I'm just trying to make sure people have a proper understanding of terms so they can make their own choices. I really hope that this clarifies things for you.

I think my biggest gripe is people who incorrectly call their littlespace regression when it actually isn't. I think this term is vastly overused and harmful to those who truly do regress.

How long has agere been around/used the same terms? My friend who's been around this community for 20 years says they didn't hear about it before this year and guessed it wasn't around more than 5 years ago. Could that be related to why people sometimes refer to littlespace as regressing,if it was used before people knew about agere?

The established pyschological concept of age regression has been around at least since the time of Freud. The coining of the open age regression community however, is much harder to pinpoint. The earliest mentionings I've found in a very tertiary Google search all lead to Tumblr, while littlespace as a BDSM practice has been around since at least the 70's.

 

The thing isn't that age regression came first or second, it's that the age regression community took similar terms to their expressions and used them. It would be my guess that most people who identify as age regressors and are undiagnosed are actually into non-sexual ageplay, but I'm not a doctor.

My point was that some terms that seem to be agere-exclusive, like regression, may have been commonly used in CGL/ABDL before the agere community made itself known, but I was more wondering how plausible that was. Cuz people were saying that regression should really only apply to agere, but I've seen CGL/ABDL say they regress before those individuals had ever heard of agere.

Oh okay, I see what you're saying now. I find it a little hard to believe that someone says they regress without having heard of the concept of age regression, as it is in the name. I don't know another source they would have found that word from, whether they realized the stronger psychological connotations that belonged to it or not. That's purely speculative, though. I do think that it's possible that the BDSM community may have used that term, but if it was used, it would have been inappropriately. 

[Bearly]

My guess is that the word may have gotten in cuz people heard it somewhere, or someone who was both into CGL and agere would use it in CGL circles, and CGL liked it and started using it. New people especially pick up terms fast.

Ahh, the controversy.

 

Breathe in that tangy aroma folks. 

 

Smell it? Yeah, that's the smell of controversy. People's irritation mixed with the struggle of maintaining politeness, peace, along with respect towards different opinions .

 

All brewed up into a delicious controversial stew, evenly heated from the heat of the discussion.

 

 

Yes, I will shut the hell up now. 

 

plz don't smack me-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not looking to start anything.
