What is a little?

A "little" is a term commonly used in the BDSM and Dominance/submission (D/s) communities to refer to a person who takes on a younger or childlike persona during play or within a relationship dynamic. Littles may enjoy activities such as coloring, playing with stuffed animals, wearing diapers, or other age-regressive behaviors. They may also desire a caregiver or "Big" to provide guidance, structure, and emotional support. While it may seem controversial to outsiders, the little/BDSM dynamic is based on enthusiastic consent and mutual satisfaction and can be a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for those involved.
