In this course, we will explore the intricacies of age-based roleplaying, also known as ageplay. This practice involves consenting adults engaging in personas that do not align with their chronological age. We will examine how misunderstandings can lead to these individuals being mischaracterized or perceived of as dangerous by professionals, and how to approach such clients with security and understanding.

In this 3-hour exploration we will examine definitions and delight alike, looking into the array of interests our clients might have and how we can support them wherever they might be in their journey. These interests can include bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism, fetishes, voyeurism... and so much more.

In this course we will learn common terms used to describe Dominant/submissive and leader/follower relationship systems and structures. Using the Contextualized Power Model, we will break down the array of relationship shapes that get called “authority transfer” or “power exchange,” as well as noting where power imbalances in culture can affect these relationships.
