This is more a question for the CM vets who may know the reasons for this. I did my searches and couldn't find anyone asking this before, but I have to wonder, why isn't ageplay an interest you can select for your profile?

I think it borders too much on discussion of minors which is a major no-no 'round these parts.

Why isn't brown hair a possible selection? Send a suggestion to support.

Thanks for the input, but you'll note that if you do a forum search for "brown hair" you'll come back with 6 posts. If you do a search for "ageplay" you will come back with 300 posts, which is the maximum allowed number of returned posts. That should be an indication it's a popular BDSM interest here, without requiring everyone to suggest it to support.

The "witchhunt" issue is obviously the easy answer, but not a very good one as there is nothing remotely illegal about it and it is no different than other fetishes which are already interests on CM. However, my assumption before I posted was that this was the case, I was just hoping there was a better reason.

perhaps because it is it's own kink that is not inately bdsm related in many people's minds (as many other kinky role plays are, or services could be interpreted as), nor is it usually a lifestyle (as with polyamory - Daddy Dom and the like does not automatically have anything to do with ageplay) and they just did not know where to put it so they have not put it anywhere, there is just one other that i can think of off the top of my head that would fit in this group - plushies/furries- but i am sure there are others...

I don't remember ever saying I needed or desired ageplay. I've just noticed a number of people mentioning it on their profiles, along with a number of posters on this forum which are clearly in ageplay relationships, in addition to many, many posts about the subject all over the forums. Then I realized I couldn't recall seeing any profiles with ageplay as a listed interest, and so I took a look and found it wasn't on the list.

That's why I asked the question. But hey, thanks for making assumptions. Always appreciated. And yes, the minors thing is an obvious one, I suppose, but the fact that diapers was on the list made me wonder if that was the real reason, since obviously either could be construed to have something to do with minors. Though I'd like to point out that neither actually have to. Not that it will prevent all you jaded posters from making your clever little posts anyway. Have fun with it.

The site protects their ass anyway they see fit. If they don't have ageplay as an interest then they have excluded it for a reason. I don't think it's any stretch to assume that since you started a thread on why it wasn't a choice that you had an interest in it. Diapers fall into scat play for a lot of people and not in ageplay.

Also, there are a lot of interests and lifestyle choices not in the options lists... and the lists are slowly growing over time. Every so often they are expanded.

In Holland there was a discussion about this in the goverment...they attacked childpornography hard. But then there seem to be a whole group of people that "simulate"" it online. The question is...will these people who simulate it.. control there wish..or fullfill a fantasy in real.
(you could compare it with;people killing in games...will they go kill in real....)

it is a difficult thing to judge about.

Well, I think your question is fair. And when I thought of 'age play,' paedophilia was no component of it. It is an interest perfectly within the parameters of a BDSM interest: old/young is one of the most familiar hierarchies in our society, so it doesn't surprise me that lots of people want to play with it.

some people will agree...some will not agree.
Why does it fit in BDSM and not in vanilla life?

People may disagree, but my understanding at this point is that, on that specific point, those people are incorrect. My mind is always open to change, though.

My point was that it does fit into vanilla life, and that this is why it would work so well in BDSM. Old/young is a hierarchy that operates all over the place; you don't need me to furnish me with an example. This is why I think it sensible that many people will enjoy playing with it. That play could involve inverting the hierarchy, putting it in new contexts, making it sexual, or whatever. BDSM does not operate in a vacuum, does it?

I know what you meant. But I am sure older people in daipers are not accepted in vanilla life.
Some people will not like that all what is weird in vanilla life will be pushed in the BDSM world.
It is to easy for the outside world to judge us weird...crazy..and perhaps label us with worse things..like pedophiles..etc..

It is not my view..but I can imagine people feel like this. I don't care what people do..to make themselfs happy..when it is within the law.

then you should not say they are incorrect when you are open to change :P

Whether there is anything illegal in age play or not, in these "enlightened" times when we are not all under the scrutiny of the thought police, but also the news media, anything that may even hint at being illegal can and will be attacked. Throw in D/s & BDSM and there will I can gurantee be a beautiful scandal, with allsorts of half baked ideas, assumptions, comments and not a shread of truth! I will make it very clear now that I am not defending anyone, but sex offenders are an easy target, here in the UK they are considered the lowest of the low and highly dangerous, yet the Home Office figures state very clearly that the rate of re-offending is the second lowest behiond prisoners being released from life sentences. Our highly "balanced" press never print anything that will not sell their awful rags as all they are interested in sales, nothing else. Can you imagine what newspapers like the "crusading" (NOT!) Sun or the News of the World would make of something like this? We could all end up being tarred with brush with stuff you'll never remove!
