What is Informed Consent?
Consent is not as straightforward as it first seems. It’s not black and white. At it’s clearest and simplest level, it is communicated permission.

Age Play and littles – Exploring The Inner Child
WHAT IS A LITTLE? Most littles take the role of a submissive child in age play. There are switch littles and (rare) Dominant littles, but overwhelmingly it is a sub role.
