Can someone explain 'age play' to me please?

[Classy_Katy]

When my partner and I do schoolgirl/teacher role plays for our own pleasure (as well as on AW), it's not about an older guy wanting a young girl...it's a dominance/submissive thing as it also involves spanking and caning...and it's also about being taken back to our first sexual experiences/fantasises, which involved schoolgirls and teachers. In the guy's mind he could be young again with someone of his own age. Someone really wanting a sexual experience with a child is not going to be satisfied by seeing a 45 year old dressed up as one...it's really what else it represents to them.
