Ageplay Ethics
Okay, we all want to be decent people, right? So let's
be.
We put a lot of
thought into that issue, and how to focus on "Age
Play", given the concern out there about kids on
the Net, kids and sexuality, etc.
Like with most
things, about a third of that concern is hysterical
silliness, about a third is naive glossing-over of a
real problem, and the middle third is reasonable and
sane, and trying to deal with something that IS a
problem.
Okay... So we're
NOT going to give even the remotest suggestion here
that any iota of sexuality involving an actual "biokid"
is acceptable.
"So guys... What about the artwork with children in it,
all over the place? I see some naughty bits
there sometimes... I see some naked bums there! One
time, I even read about..."

Okay, well,
here's our carefully thought-out ethic for Adult Ageplay: We'd love you to consider it, and give us some
feedback.
More than most other alternative
relationship-styles, Adult Ageplay has a responsibility to be very clear
about some ethical issues: and we face the complication of existing near
some easily misunderstood issues.
Often, descriptions of thoughts,
feelings, fantasies, etc, will use pronouns and language that would lead
the outsider to assume they refer to a biological child.
There will be times when
remembrances, roleplay, or fantasy material will indicate a persona which
IS a minor. It must be made clear, then, that ALL such language refers only
to the alter-ego persona, or childhood remembrance, of an ADULT.
Given the horrid reality that child
abuse DOES exist, and does occur in cyberspace, we feel it ethical to
understand the sensitivities of those who don't *feel* these things as we
do, and can't know how healthy and positive is is for us.
