For me what people call age play has a different kind of a meaning, it's not that may not involve age playing in the sense of not being, not acting as an adult but rather while some play with characters with very fixed characteristics that may include a specific age not unlike most other kinds of role playing to me it's not role playing.
That is because I have a "emotionally real inner kid" who has a part in this which involves a very deep and personal connection when in age play that any adult sense of self isn't there so what you have is a fragile side of me that is looking for healing through this and so not only has child-like vulnerabilities through being at a developmental level a child but additional ones because a person in such a situation such as mentor, 'Foster parent' or Caregiver to being hurt by careless individuals who aren't sensitive to my needs being with them.
To that extent as far as is possible then for all intents and
purposes, the hearts of inner children such as me should be treated with as
much sensitivity as you would treat a real, biological child even if the law says the outer wrapping is 'adult'.
The relating pattern will always be that of grown up, parent or guardian to the child me so when you are involved at such a level emotionally to me, it needs to be an emotional commitment that is for the long haul and not just dropped when the next object of attention comes along.
When you do, you may very well be
breaking the heart of someone who looked to you to protect them, to take
care of you, to guard you. When that person vanishes suddenly and it has, it is
disruptive to the healing process as an inner child I'm undergoing, and it
does more damage than simply leaving a role playing site or just some girlfriend with which you
were previously associated.
