there are several articles by bdsm-focused and educated communities regarding the psychological benefits of age-play when working through childhood trauma, especially such as neglect or csa.
tired of this argument coming from a fandom that's shot down for being weird itself.
@vetbait THIS OH MY GODDDDUUUGJHH
i always try and explain why these kind of fetishes can develop and people are like mmmm well i think its gross so youre lying
wrong !
pet-play and age-play are both sexual forms of taboo roleplay often used to process and control similar kinds of trauma.
they also both have similar sfw counterparts, pet-regression and age-regression.
@kiku_bleat@flamethefawn Age play is completely different to pet play and is far more disgusting. The fact that ABDL falls under the ageplay umbrella should tell you all you need to know.
@vetbait they can understand petplay doesnt mean youre an actual dog but acting younger during a scene means youre roleplaying as a predator.......scratching my head
@vetbait YES I AGREE THERE ACTUALLY
it makes me tweak out a bit because why are people like yeah larping as a dog during sex is chill but larping as yourself but younger??? Mmmmm . Bad
@vetbait honestly so long as its consenting adults both are acceptable imo, though i've spent Years in the bdsm community and reading research and articles about it ^^"
how are you gonna have did and not know what covert means. can you people Please do an iota of research instead of automatically assuming everyone you disagree with is wrong about everything
@PENGU1NSPIRAL Thank god somebody caught it 😭 covert and overt are so common in reference to system presentation i'm baffled they act like it's some bs
