It's at least something I would think about.

Although not completely within the realm of BDSM (but could certainly have some components of it), what are folks thoughts about age play and mothering?  I'm interested and feel that I actually have an unique ability to be very good at it but a lot of people have a "yuck" factor when I mention it.

It isn't for everyone but I was curious about the thoughts of others.  

Warm motherly hugs,

Story time, cuddles, even diaper changing (except I don't change poopy diapers )

I have a couple of Adult Babies come visit on occassion, and they are some very fun, entertaining sessions. Discipline is usually a big part of it as well, so that works perfectly for me.

Then I have my spankos who prefer I be the strict stepmom, but that might be a little different!

Yes.  I don't understand the allure of vomiting, either.  Although .... different strokes and all.

Glad to know that being spoiled and cuddled isn't that off-putting.

Grin.

Hi Ms Elisabeth,

Just chiming in to share my thoughts on the subject.  Its of interest to me too, and over the years many folks I have known.  How popular it is relative to other interests I can't say, but its not all THAT rare.  Among other interests and kinks, I'm fond of this kind of play because I enjoy intense emotional play where I feel very close and warmly connected to someone who's engaged in caring and loving play with me.

Yes, there are other times I like to be slapped in the mouth and spit on, but I run a gamut that definitely also includes what you refer to as 'mothering'.  As for 'a lot of people', they'll always thing SOMEthing is 'yucky'.

I'm not sure why mrfisher steered this topic towards Roman showers, but let's get back on topic . . .

What I believe Elizabeth is discussing is a subculture in the world of BDSM that has been growing a great deal over the last few years.  They are known as "Ageplayers" or "Littles".

There are many different subsets within this group with there own distinct fantasies.  Without naming them all, probably the most commonly known subset to those in the Vanilla (non-BDSM) world are the "adult babies" and diaper lovers.  That one tends to even creep out some of the kinkiest, most seasoned BDSM players, because it smacks of pedophilia, but it really isn't.  (I could do a whole dissertation on that, but there isn't the space here.  Just trust me that it's not.)

The next big subset is "Kidz", who roleplay being school-age or teenager.  (For those who might laugh at age-regression roleplay, have you ever asked your girfriend to dress up as a Catholic school girl or high school cheerleader?)  

And then there are many different kinds of "grownups" who love them, such as Daddies, Mommies, Uncles, Aunties, Nannies, Sitters, etc.  Since these ageplayers are "Littles", these grownups might be called "Bigs".

Almost all BDSM play is about TRUST and the exchange of power.  While I don't pretend to understand age regression play -- and Elisabeth, maybe you can expand on this from your perspective to enlighten us -- I would assume that the appeal is being able to temporarily surrender your adult responsibilities and, for a time, have those loved and cared for feelings that you have as an "innocent" child.  

Further to that post, I wanted to also mention that there is a domination style that is increasingly becoming popular, and that's known as a Daddy Dominant.  This link might give you a sense as to how it differs from the traditional (non-Daddy) Dominant.
