5 misconceptions you might have about the Little community
1. Only females can be Littles.
OK, let me stop you right there. Not all Littles are girls. Being Little has nothing to do with gender. Being Little is a mindset and those aren’t gender locked. There are boy Littles, girl Littles, gender fluid Littles, polygender Littles, and genderless Littles.
No, just no that notion completely dismisses all of the female and NB Bigs in the community. Just like how a Little can be any gender so can our counterparts.
3. All Littles are sexual.
While this may certainly be the case for some this doesn’t hold true for all Littles. Every Little is different and so is their attitude about sexual aspects. Many many Littles are easily taken out of Little space by sexual material-thus the importance for stating your SFW status. If you’re curious about whether your friends or partners Little side is sexual it’s as simple as asking them.
Just like all Littles aren’t sexual the same can be said for Bigs. Remember it all comes down to the individual.
4. All Littles are in D/s (power exchange) relationships.
Ha, no. This is something I wish I knew when I entered the community. There are plenty of Littles who aren’t submissive to their Big-there are some Bigs who are submissive to their Littles! There’s no rule saying a Little has to be submissive-just like there’s no rule saying a Big has to be dominant.
It’s important to know that for most Littles this isn’t a kink, it’s who we are. The journey doesn’t always end with a Little being a submissive. It’s OK to just identify as a Little-it doesn’t make you any less welcome in our community, I promise.
5. All Littles regress and have an age for their Little space.
Not all Littles regress and if you don’t it doesn’t make you any less of a Little. There is nothing wrong with Littles who don’t have an approximate or definite age for their Little selves.
Littles can identify under the umbrella term of Little-Little, Middle and ABDL-though there are some who simply feel Little. It’s well worth mentioning that Littles can identify as two or more types of Little and that no identifier is any better or worse than the others. No matter how you identify your Little self you’re apart of a great community who is excited to have you here.
