What is Littlespace?

Answering the Question: What is Littlespace?

Image

Littlespace is when an adult identifies they feel more naturally youthful, immatured, or childish by personality than their peers. This may be identified through general personal evaluation and reflection when comparing themselves to peers or by received comments of biological peers. Intentionally acting out these feelings of youthfulness is often through exaggerated imaginative, playful roleplay but isn’t necessary to act out.

The choice to roleplay out the personality trait may be in reflection of childhood memories, scenarios, or desires that were unachievable in their adolescence but that aligns with majority of their regressive interests, hobbies, activities, and responses.

An adult actively aware they feel more youthful and childish in comparison to others is referred to as “being in littlespace”. Being in littlespace may involve another adult that encourages the person to fully express their childish interests and is referred to as a Caregiver, may engage in activities viewed as childish, or may even participate in adult physically intimate interaction during their time feeling particularly childlike. While in littlespace, the individual is usually, but not always, referred to as an Adult Baby, Little, or Middle, depending on how they feel their notably unusual interests and expressions reflect a younger age-range. A standard that all people interacting and involved in the more intimate, adult scenes is that they are all of legal biological age.

In the most simplest of ways to understand, littlespace is when a person with the unique little or regression personality actively feels they’re less matured than their biological peers and may choose to express their personality more externally through exaggerated roleplay. Being a Little fluctuates as a mood, sometimes being much more apparent that the person has interests, responses, and preferences similar to that of children than other times. A Little is a fully functional adult and does not replicate fully or exactly any particular age in youth.

An adult little may be accompanied by another adult romantic partner, referred to as a Caregiver, who assumes a parental role during the Little’s regressive roleplay, may encourage their Little partner to feel comfortable discussing or expressing their feelings of youthful, and is and individual who expresses romantic love through caregiving. The Caregiver may be assigned a special name, such as Daddy or Mommy, to indicate their awareness over the situation and the parental-type care they are giving to the little adult. This caregiving, especially during times of regressive roleplay, is a form of romantic expression of love and must be met with acknowledgment, appreciation, and reciprocation in a healthy relationship or else the Caregiver may suffer from feeling used, neglected, or even abused.

Littles typically engage in multiple activities that coincide with the age they feel reflects their active feelings, interests, and desires than their biological age during a regressive mood in expressing themself or “being in littlespace”. Common activities that little adults engage in are coloring, watching cartoons designed for children, and partaking in games like hide and seek. Some little adults also modify, create, or own specialty clothing for littlespace time and dress up, wear adult diapers, or restyle their hair. A little chooses their methods to engage in littlespace so it can vary widely and is based primarily on personality and preference versus standards or commonalities.

Adult littles may also allow physically intimate interaction from their caregiver while engaging in littlespace time. If this occurs then the little adult may take a submissive role, allowing the designated caregiver to lead the scene through guidance, direction, and primary action. The Little may incorporate items such as pacifiers or stuffed animals into the physically intimate scene for their added security and comfort. Playful, faux-punishment spankings with toys such as paddles for adults may occur along with other generalized aspects involved in the restraints & Discipline / Domination & Submission / Sadism & Masochism (BeDeeSeM) lifestyle. Though it is best to keep in mind that BeDeeSeM activity is not necessarily a core component of these intimate interactions and couples may or may not identify with the BeDeeSeM community. Regression itself is not a kink or adult interest, and the partnership itself between a Caregiver and a Little is not classified as BeDeeSeM.

Adult littles are most likely to engage in littlespace roleplay while in the privacy of their own homes; however, they may bring this playful side of their unique personality with everyday interactions as a biological adult. Common littlespace activities, such as regressive arts and crafts, are considered to be a healthy way to express this well-developed personality. In essence, littlespace can be an effective way for an adult to validly express their inner-self and biologically atypical attitudes, perception, and interests. The feeling of freedom to express atypical desires and feelings can cause stress relief for many, but regression is not a substitute of professional mental healthcare and should not be used as a means to avoid expectations and responsibilities as an unimpaired adult.
