Regressed spaces and welfare

Sorry for bring a bit slow at putting together this weeks edition of That Traditional Schoolboy's Dorm but you know no sooner than you come back that there are other Real World issues to deal with so my time has been spent rather more on them.
One issue I did kind of mention a few weeks ago was this whole question of mentions of actual Children and experiences on websites about age play, age regression and spanking.

To be honest I don't feel people understand just what the problem area of taking debates  around child raising to what are 18+ "adult sites", the way it may look to outsiders, how it may leave people who whatever they may be doing on such sites are dealing with traumatic childhoods that touch the issues never mind how it can be a site is seen as endorsing a point of view on behalf of its users.

Those discussions simply don't belong on age regression or spanking related sites just for "adults"  never mind having users imply a refusal to support any individual point of view supports or condones another that takes you completely out of the mindset and purpose of being on such sites.

On age regression sites in particular, we are going very much into working with our child-like sides with the mindset of our younger selves writing stories, drawing having role playing stories rooted in our pasts that had no part in grown up discussion of the issues at the time and where the attempt to takes us out of it. For some of us it is a coping mechanism that we badly need - it's not Adult News Central - with all the headlines and debates on the screen distracting us.

It is our place away from all that.

They belong in the relevant discussion forums for politics and parenting issues for those most affected by them.
Let's keep our spaces just for us and the reasons we need them.

Away thoughts

You know the best thing any person can be is their authentic selves and that's one thing I will be this week while I'm away enjoying being adult little boy around other adult littles as himself.
Nothing more and nothing less than that indoors and out where we'll be rambling enjoying the countryside when not just messing about and there's nothing wrong with doing just that.

Or making something from lego or playing with trains because all that comes from within.

They went trainspotting, enjoying themselves watching the trains and getting to grips with what makes them work, no doubt talking to railway staff learning about how the railway works.

In 2020 I accepted an offer to go trainspotting, just like they did while in the past I'd of passed up on it unless it was part and parcel of being under the care of an Uncle or my Dad, taking pictures and even volunteering to go into a railway station museum.
I actually loved doing it in the company of men.

While I had gone on steam trains in early boyhood, that was generally because Dad always wanted to and so you all did sometimes to the exclusion of other things we would of preferred which took a lot away from any sense of enjoying it.
This also helped some of those people who tried putting a wedge between me and being a male because while there are some females who are train enthusiasts it remains overwhelmingly a boys and mens thing.
A sign of how much better I am feeling about being male was that I chose to take that journey for the first time in many years not as has been the case when travelling by train has been just about getting to work based activities but for pleasure.
I felt free to be an eternal boy enjoying the sounds, rhythms  and excitement  just like a ten year old boy. I felt great getting excited over it all, being alive in a male body.

I rejoined the world of men and boys as not one female ventured into the engine shed with its smell of oil and smoke and dirt walking around the exhibits, opening conversations with men I never knew freely, feeling very much a part of them, proof that I identify as nothing other than that.

I AM NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT SOCIALLY MALE WITHOUT ANY FEMININE TRAITS BELONGING ONLY IN THE WORLD OF MEN AND BOYS.

The time away spending time in the mainly masculine world underscored the double metaphor of being on this exploration of myself and my past and the arrival at the end of that journey as with being in the engine shed.

The parts were all there, the original plans discovered being used to enable full restoration to be achieved and this ol' engine showed he could hack it all along going full steam ahead knowing his place and feeling the happiest in ages for being male and accepted by men as nothing else.

This week has been the week I fully let my maleness out after all this time, publicly presenting and asserting my gender.

There WILL be no going back from now on.

Getting set to go

There is going to be a break in transmission on Tumblr and probably on the wordpress blogs that actually more reworked back ups of tumblrs because in a manner of speaking I'm getting my kit together for spending time as an adult little boy.

As I have sometimes said with a little bit of care over logo'd items, it isn't too hard to live out your life dressed as one at least out of the workplace although with some occupations like the Post Office you can have shorts supplied and just wear plain grey socks and achieve a fair bit 'under the radar' and the post office was far a period an employer of a good number 15 year olds straight out of school before leaving ages were upped.

The reason for being away is for doing things together as most of us don't like to be on our own in this life so rambles and that are best shared where you can and with the other stuff happening in March I really need to make the most of it.

Defining Boys Only Age Regression

One thing I have been working on for a long time is trying to refine Boys Only style of Age Regression on my A.R. tumblr, a style that really sticks out in what is often a twee girlish aesthetic where it is that we're outnumbered ten to one in those communities.

It isn't that we don't have a soft side, most of us after all did have our teddy bears, dinosaur plushies and that but it didn't include sickly sweet My Little Pony toys, cabbage patch kids or Barbie. We all knew that was Girls stuff back then.

So rather than having advertisements for those things that do take you back to the past, instead those that appeal directly to your inner sense of Machismo, everything that mattered to our and your defining pair as that boy: robust reliability and power.

In the style I am working on, the boy as soldier and warrior  and noble Prince feature, having standards of conduct and dress, prepared to fight for his people and our principles at cost if need be.

He stands up for himself and what is right.

That doesn't mean that slow, reflective and caring goes missing but it is but a part of that regressed past we engage with with real boys role models. 

Christopher Robin was based on a real boy who knew what was good for us

It absolutely includes adventure, wonder and achievement of goals in art, stories and attitude specifically for and about boys free from girls and their influences.

It is a work in progress but for me Boys Only Age Regression is Regression with Balls on.
