Bumping this thread for the number of ageplayers I know I've seen around. Including myself on occasion! I've played as old as 50s and for the sake of trying it out, young as 10 or so. (My actual age is in the 30s for the sake of reference.) How did I gravitate to this kink? Like with a whole bunch of others, I was curious, found someone else interested, and gave it a shot. Sometimes it's DD/lg (daddy dom/little girl) or just CG/l (caregiver/little).
What I always respected about this particular kink is how very grounded and protective both partners need to be to make it work. Now this isn't quite as much of an issue with more casual settings where you've just got people looking to call each other "daddy" and "good girl" (or whatever terms for caregiver and little are appropriate). But with longer-term stuff, there really has to be a connection -- and a strong one. Like with any other kinks, there are a LOT of ways someone can get hurt if very clear boundaries aren't adhered to, particularly in longer-term settings. Consistent and steady communication also become much more important.
