Age play or age play is a form of role playing in which an individual acts or treats another as if they were a different age, physically intimate or non-sexually. Age play is role playing between adults, and involves consent from all parties. Portraying any age can be the goal of age play, from babies, to the elderly. Usually this involves someone pretending to be younger than they actually are, but more rarely can involve assuming an older role.Age play can be physically intimate or non-physically intimate. It may be mildly physically intimate, or very physically intimate. Within dominant/submissive relationships, age play can enhance power dynamics, and allow a partner to feel more comfortable with their dominance or submission. Often, ossification of boys is present, in order to add another level of power to the situation.
physically intimate variations may include among other things such as relative relations play, in which individuals recreate and physically intimate roles within a family, and Daddy's girl fetishism in which real or imagined age differences are the basis of the role playing and the female is portrayed as the younger partner.
Age play is not considered child involvement or related to child involvement by professional psychologists Individuals who age play enjoy portraying children, or enjoy childlike elements typical of children present in adults.
physically intimate age play itself does not involve the physically intimate attraction to biologically underage people. Rather, when a consenting adult takes on the role playing mindset of a young person, it is motivated by re-experiencing emotional states and social interactions of one's youth, which also happen to be pleasurable in a physically intimate context to the participants.
