👶 WHAT IS AGE REGRESSION? 👶
You’ve searched the depths of the Internet. You’ve looked so hard for an explanation of your state of mind. Perhaps you arrived upon DD/lg. Or just followed a nostalgia blog that fit… Almost.
This is by no means a complete list. However, I hope it helps someone better understand themselves or perhaps a loved one.
🍼 The term “age regression” spans several categories. It can be a psychiatrist term for someone who is “stunted” due to trauma, it can be a coping mechanism for those who have experienced trauma or it can simply be an enjoyable experience for a person.
🍼 Age regression is a healthy coping mechanism, as long as it does NOT have a negative impact on your life. Signs of unhealthy regression can be: refusal or inability to handle any age appropriate duties (homework, chores, paying bills or your work), regressing at inappropriate times (such as at a funeral or other such times).
🍼 Age regression is common and is safe for minors. It is often confused with age play, which is role playing of a younger age for sexual gratification. Age regression is nonsexual. Whilst the regressor can be sexually active OUTSIDE of regression, they cannot consent to sexual activity whilst regressed.
🍼 Age regression is the mental regression to a younger (usually safer) age in the persons life. This regression age can span from infancy to teens. Since they are mentally that age whilst regressed, a regressor cannot consent to adult activities.
🍼 There is no set standards to be considered an age regressor.
🍼 Some age regressors are in kink relationships whereby they have a BDSM relationship as adults. This is perfectly fine as long as they are both physically and mentally 18+.
🍼 Due to the vast amounts of reasons and types of trauma that cause regression, some regressors are very strict on their interactions. Forcing unwanted interaction upon them is abusive in nature. Respect interaction requests and bans.
🍼 The terms used by age regressors is set by them and is not inherently sexual.
🍼 Age regressors often (but not always) require supervision. This is not because they are incapable of taking care of themselves on a whole, but because a Caregiver gives them 100% safety. Safety is vital for an age regressor to get both the full scale of therapy from their regression and also to regress without concern.
🍼 Age regression is in NO WAY affiliated with paedophilia or sexual deviancy.
