Flavors Of Adult Ageplay

There are no absolutes in things as complex as human psychology, much less in alternative lifestyles like these -- but to help us talk about Ageplay and reParenting better, and cater to as many peoples' needs as possible, we tend to think of Ageplay as broken down into two main categories, or flavors.

Some people are basically looking for a way to re-enact the feelings of being a child as accurately as possible, and are usually seeking an environment that allows them to feel as naturally like a child as is possible. Often they are looking to Virtual Communities like GI for a place to basically roleplay being a "real" child (though of course we all understand that we're all adults here).

We think of this as "Age-appropriate Roleplay", and the Snuggery is the area of GI which is focused on this. Little or nothing which wouldn't be appropriate for a young Biokid appears in the Snuggery.

The other flavor that we find many seeking is more about making their Innerkid part of their adult relationship. These are often people for whom Ageplay isn't pretending to be a real child, but moreso accepting being an adult with some of the feelings of a child within, who seeks an adult relationship (or other ways of expressing herself as an adult) which is welcoming to the child-like aspects of her.

The Kittery is the area of GI where concepts of making the Innerkid as part of the adult, and part of healthy adult relationships, are explored. Sometimes, for some, that can include sexually-connected concepts being discussed, since the Innerkid is a part of the adult whole, but this isn't the main goal or point of this Flavor -- rather it is integrating the Innerkid into the adult life.
