I am primarily a little, not just in my relationship but in my day to day life. Being little is completely non-sexual for me, and age play is one of my hard limits. I tend to ‘regress’ more often than not.
Age regression is when someone reverts to a younger age in their mind, whether that be just a few years younger than their current age, or into toddlerhood and infancy. They may do this for a number of reasons, such as a coping tool for stress, or this may happen during a therapy session with a therapist, or it may even happen spontaneously for some people with mental health diagnosis who were suddenly triggered. I personally regress due to my diagnosis, it can happen when I am triggered or I can induce it with different sensory and child-like activities. Due to my past experiences, I suffer from chronic PTSD and borderline personality disorder. I’m not going to get into those this time around, as I am saving mental health for another post. On a lighter note, some things that help me get into the mindset are getting dressed up in clothes that make me feel small, being taken care of by my Daddy, watching kids’ shows, using things like sippy cups, bottles, pacifiers, diapers, and mittens, and having my stuffies close by. Something I have learned as I go on is that I mix my age regression with my BDSM lifestyle in the fact that I use kink products from kink-centric shops like Lil Kink Boutique and Onesies Down Under. These shops sell only to adults that practice the BDSM lifestyle. Though these items are primarily used for sexual purposes, I personally do not participate in sexual acts while in little space. I adore these products for other reasons, such as the feeling it brings me or the aesthetic. There is definitely a difference between age regression and caregiver/little (CGL, DDLG, DDLB, MDLG, MDLB). The way I look at it is that CGL is a kink and age regression is something someone will do at any age, regardless if they have a caregiver, and regardless if they even know that age play exists. As for CGL or DDLG or whatever it is to you, that is between two or more consenting adults who are role playing together either to be sexually satisfied, or emotionally satisfied. For example, I have been age regressing for the majority of my young life. It was an escape from my reality at the time, like a bandage for my anxieties. Whenever I was stuck with dark emotions and didn’t know what to do, I turned toward age regression in order to cope with my stress. Being in that headspace brought me great comfort and aided me in my journey toward recovery. When my 18th birthday came, I moved toward the DDLG community in hopes to find like-minded people who will support me in my behavior. I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my love of child-like activities, behaviors, and items. I haven’t been in the community all that long, but I really value the connections I have made so far!
