One-line definition
Ageplay is roleplay between consenting adults built on different age registers or caregiving relationships.
Full definition
Ageplay is the umbrella over Little / Caregiver dynamics, DDLG, MDLB, and related configurations. What it centres on varies by player: caregiving, rules, attachment, indulgence, discipline, or simply being immersed in a role. The term applies only to voluntary roleplay between adults. Any scenario involving minors or non-consenting people is outside BDSM and outside this archive’s scope.
