ICcode for "Ageplay"

[b]Ageplay[/b] is a type of [about=sexual roleplaying]sexual roleplaying[/about] or [about=BDSM]BDSM[/about] in which a person pretends to be an infant, child or adolescent. Technically, [about=infantilism]infantilism[/about] is a subset of ageplay.

The [about=dominant]dominant[/about] plays the role of teacher, doctor, parent, etc. Ageplay can also be bratplay in which the "child" is disobedient and bratty, and puts up verbal or physical resistance. (In such play, a [about=safeword]safeword[/about] is even more important.)

Ageplay is often regarded as [about=edgeplay]edgeplay[/about], because it reminds people of real-life [about=incest]incest[/about] or [about=pedophilia]pedophilia[/about]. Proponents point out that ageplay is a consensual fantasy played out by adults.

The appeal of ageplay, like other forms of [about=submissive]submission[/about], is in giving up responsibility, allowing oneself to be vulnerable and to give and receive affection freely. 

Some ageplay is purely "regressive"; while the person is in role, nothing that wouldn't happen with a real minor occurs. Other includes sex or sexual play, such as [about=erotic spanking]erotic spanking[/about], and incest or pedophilia fantasies.

Ageplay often involves dressing as a child or adolescent, for instance wearing a [about=Wikipedia:school_uniform]school uniform[/about] (see for instance the [about=Wikipedia:Japanese_school_uniform]Japanese school uniform[/about]).

Ageplay practices may include:

[item] [about=spanking]spanking[/about]

[item] [about=diaper]diaper[/about]ing (i.e. putting the submissive partner in diapers as though he or she were an infant)

[item] humiliating medical procedures such as rectal temperature taking, the insertion of suppositories, the giving of [about=enema]enema[/about]s.
Note that some of these practices, though not often applied to children nowadays, were commonplace some decades ago.
