Age play

Age play is a form of role-play in which the participants take on roles with a significant age difference. Common examples include mother and son, aunt and nephew, or teacher and student. The important point is that the focus is on the role being played, not on the participants’ actual ages.

In BDSM, age play can involve power, care, authority or dependency. The person in the older or more adult role often takes the leading or dominant position. However, it is still an agreed role-play between adults. Age play has nothing to do with minors and must not be confused with any sexual activity involving children.
