This upcoming Monday, May 17, BIO is hosting a BIO-Intensive workshop: Dommy Mommy – Regression Play. This is not a guest listed event, and tickets may be purchased at the door. This is the case with all the monthly Monday night BIO-Intensives at Lick.

Many of us are familiar with the term age play, some with the terms infantilism, adult babies, diaper fetish or diaper lovers. They can all encompass a wide range of experiences and even lifestyles and the thing they all have in common is they are a form of regression power exchange.

Regression power exchange can encompass those who like to role play teens in trouble, naughty school girls/boys, spoiled 5 year olds, boyscouts/girlscouts, or even toddlers or infants. What all of it has in common is the combination of role playing (in some cases lifestyling) an age younger than your own in tandem with the dynamic of a partner in a position of power over you (those who enjoy being Mommies, Daddies, Aunts and Uncles). This workshop explores some of the psychology behind age/regression play, why do people do it, the range of what it can involve and be about, as well as addressing some of the common misconceptions or fears associated with this form of play, such as incest taboos, familial sexual abuse and pedophilia.

This form of play can be a LOT of fun and if it isn’t something you’ve experimented with, it might be something you want to explore. Age play can be either completely separate or very much entrenched in more ‘traditional’ forms of BDSM play/lifestyles.

Whether you’re an experienced age player or whether you’re simply curious, come and delve deeper into the core of where power exchange first develops. We all started out as completely helpless infants dependent on those more powerful to meet our basic needs. Age play isn’t just plaid skirts and knee socks, it springs from the core of our very first actual power exchange relationships which makes it a powerful and sometimes controversial form of exploring power exchange as an adult.
