Age play is a form of role-playing where individuals take on roles that represent different ages, often involving one person acting as a younger character and another as an older caregiver. This dynamic can include activities, language, and behaviors associated with the chosen age, creating a safe space for exploration and expression. Participants in age play may engage in various scenarios, such as parent-child interactions or teacher-student relationships. It is important to note that age play is consensual and typically occurs between adults, focusing on fantasy rather than actual age differences.
