Sometimes consenting adults pretend or fantasize that they are younger than they actually are. Kink, not just hair related, is very very frequently about power dynamics and vulnerability. Age is a way to emphasize power dynamics. If you want to learn more about this, I would recommend checking out Watts The Safeword on youtube, if you scroll down to some of the older videos there is an episode on age play about a year ago. (I actually just recommend this channel in general, I have practiced kink for a while now, but I have learned lots of new things since I discovered this channel a couple of months ago.)

Even is stories where it is very clear that all the characters are consenting adults, they often use language and act in ways that suggest childhood dynamics. For example in Fizzy’s wonderful recent story “The Plunge” and it’s prequel “Rebelion” Roxie will talk to Joanna like Joanna is a child although she is clearly not.

Excerpt from “The Plunge”: “You were such a big girl in that chair today,” she said so sweetly. I hummed the most pleasant tune hearing her praise me like that, and my heart just melted. She noticed that shift in my tone, and her smirk grew. “Do you like that? Being called a big girl?”—-I hummed again, still breathless from her fingers’ venture. “I’m so proud of you. I know it was scary but you were so so brave. My strong, beautiful girl.”

I’ve been know to do the same thing in my stories.

Another thing that plays a part in some of these stories is about processing and reframing things that happened to us in childhood. In my stories this pretty much always takes place as stories about memories from my adult characters, because that’s what works for me, but others may want to do it more directly.

If there are particular stories you feel go beyond this, report them specifically in report a story.
