Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm in 'research and analyse' mode today and trying to find something that isn't biased in either direction: all I seem to be able to find online are personals sites and descriptions for the newbie about what ageplay is. What I'm really looking for is information that explores good things, bad things, dangers, experiences, things to learn from particularly personal stories and problems encountered solved, psychological aspects. I'm not averse to buying a book on the subject if it's definitely going to be useful. Ideally something that doesn't say "ageplay is always bad" or "ageplay is always good".

I found this site only yesterday that goes into ageplay from a more analytical point of view. It made interesting reading and gave some reference books you could perhaps track down http://understanding.infantilism.org/ although that focuses on obviously more younger ageplay. http://ikklespace.net its only an ikkle space but its my home | |

There's a site I've found called LilJennie's Infantilism Page: Ageplay Presentation. There's a section titled 'Why Are People Attracted to Ageplay?' - which deals with the Psychology of ageplay, i.e. could some childhood trauma cause an adult to be attracted to ageplay etc. The author herself shares the psychological reasons which led her into ageplay - click http://www.liljennie.com/ageplay-pres.php There's a book titled Power Exchange Books: Age Play (The Nazca Plains) (Paperback) by Robert Rubel.. The author concerned is an educational sociologist and researcher by training. He deals with some of the issues you're interested in. I believe the book can be purchased from Amazon books. Good Luck with your research!! Always be POLITE, so that people know that you've been brought up well!!! | |

I've pondered why I might be into age play. Most of what I've read on the subject seems to be centred on the person pretending to be younger, not the person who stays their own age but enjoys someone pretending to be younger - or at least connotations of being younger, even if they're not properly pretending. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense,if anything I'd have thought I'd be wanting to be the younger one myself - I had pretty shitty parents and some pretty shitty relationships, generally felt pretty unloved and uncared for... yet I'm NOT looking to go back and have a pretend childhood where I am loved or a relationship where I'm cared for and coddled in a paternalistic fashion. Quite the opposite! I suppose it might be me looking at my parents and past partners and thinking "that right there, that's what I DON'T want to be." I certainly do think that in other senses. I found my parent's lives quite pathetic, and it's made me very determined not to end up like them - not that they had particularly bad lives, they were pretty normal I suppose. But that's just it, I don't want to be normal, typical, average. I don't want to be a regular bum, a schmuck who has to wait in line like everyone else, someone who no one will ever remember after they're gone, who never made a difference, who never lived really exceptionally, and that's become a driving force in my life; to be somebody and make something of myself. Perhaps in the same way I'm driven not to be like them as parents, and that manifests itself by being paternal (hopefully well!) in romantic relationships. Love, love is a verb | |

I can't particularly make sense of it in my life. I had a good family and loving parents and although I can recognise a willingness to please and a desire to show off to please from quite early on, there's nothing dysfunctional. I had a fairly rubbish time at school though; I can understand why I'm not that drawn to schoolroom stuff although I am sure I will try it at some stage to counter-balance real life.

From personal experience I dont think you can pay too much attention to books. I feel it is better to live out your experiences creativly and always allow yourself to make mistakes. If your anything like me (which you are probably not) if you were able to make sense out of your life you would probably find it boring. There is alot more delight in finding out about the unknown than there is about knowing. At the end of the day you are young and possibly new. I add this to the previous posting just go out and do it and live life they way you want. Dont concern yourself over what other people think because you are doing no harm what so ever.
