5 misconceptions you might have about the Little community
1. Only females can be Littles.
OK, let me stop you right there. Not all Littles are girls. Being Little has nothing to do with gender. Being Little is a mindset and those arenāt gender locked. There are boy Littles, girl Littles, gender fluid Littles, polygender Littles, and genderless Littles.
No, just no that notion completely dismisses all of the female and NB Bigs in the community. Just like how a Little can be any gender so can our counterparts.
3. All Littles are sexual.
While this may certainly be the case for some this doesnāt hold true for all Littles. Every Little is different and so is their attitude about sexual aspects. Many many Littles are easily taken out of Little space by sexual material-thus the importance for stating your SFW status. If youāre curious about whether your friends or partners Little side is sexual itās as simple as asking them.
Just like all Littles arenāt sexual the same can be said for Bigs. Remember it all comes down to the individual.Ā
4. All Littles are in D/s (power exchange) relationships.
Ha, no. This is something I wish I knew when I entered the community. There are plenty of Littles who arenāt submissive to their Big-there are some Bigs who are submissive to their Littles! Thereās no rule saying a Little has to be submissive-just like thereās no rule saying a Big has to be dominant.Ā
Itās important to know that for most Littles this isnāt a kink, itās who we are. The journey doesnāt always end with a Little being a submissive. Itās OK to just identify as a Little-it doesnāt make you any less welcome in our community, I promise.
5. All Littles regress and have an age for theirĀ LittleĀ space.
Not all Littles regress and if you donāt it doesnāt make you any less of a Little. There is nothing wrong with Littles who donāt have an approximate or definite age for their Little selves.Ā
Littles can identify under the umbrella term of Little-Little, Middle and ABDL-though there are some who simply feel Little. Itās well worth mentioning that Littles can identify as two or more types of Little and that no identifier is any better or worse than the others.Ā No matter how you identify your Little self youāre apart of a great community who is excited to have you here.
