College Football, Suicide and Brain Damage
Dr. Roy Benaroch is a general pediatrician, author, and educator at Emory University. He has written two books for parents and contributes to several parenting and medical web sites and print journals.
A realistic worry, or just media fear-mongering? That's a good question to ask after widespread news reports about a college football player's recent suicide. Stories about this tragedy seemed to blame his death on football. Is it time to rethink high school and college athletics?
Owen Thomas, a junior lineman at the University of Pennsylvania, committed suicide after an abrupt change in personality and mood. An autopsy revealed early stages of brain damage, called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), that had previously been linked to depression, impulse control problems and suicide in professional athletes.
In the past, it was believed that CTE was caused by repeated concussions, a traumatic brain injury following a sudden blow to the head. More severe concussions cause an immediate loss of consciousness, while milder concussions cause a period of confusion, sleepiness, trouble with balance, or a severe headache. In any case, concussions were always thought to cause symptoms immediately after the injury — so a football player who is "knocked out" or "knocked silly" is known to have a concussion, and has to come out of the game for evaluation and treatment to prevent further injury. A sharp blow to the head not accompanied by any symptoms — the kind that happens thousands of times a day on sports fields all over the world — was not thought to be something to worry about.
What makes this recent story concerning is that Thomas had no previous history of concussions. Now, it could be that he was having concussions, and just not telling his coach. If that was the case, the lesson here is that athletes need to learn about the importance of the symptoms of concussions and need to tell their coaches, even if it means missing time on the field.
But what if Thomas' history is correct? What if brain injury — we're talking serious brain injury, the kind that causes changes in personality and mood that can drive a young man to suicide — can be caused by the ordinary blows football players sustain every day?
It not clear at all that the autopsy findings are definitely diagnostic of CTE. This article points out that even if there is some risk of football, suicides like this are very rare. The risk is much smaller than risks that families take every day, like the risk of driving a car, or the risks of an unhealthy diet leading to the serious health consequences of obesity. The actual risk of suicide from brain damage caused by football, if it exists, is probably far outweighed by the considerable health benefits of physical activity.
Stories like these have a strong and emotional impact. A dramatic and senseless death in an otherwise-healthy college student captures your attention, and makes us wonder about what should have been done differently. But a little perspective is needed: millions of young athletes play football, and we're not seeing anything close to an epidemic of symptoms of CTE. Coaches do need to improve their recognition and treatment of athletes with concussion, and further study is needed into a possible link between CTE and non-concussive brain injuries. But now is not the time to pull the rug out from sports participation.

Family Health History Still an Important Tool for Clinical and Public Health Practice, but Knowledge Gaps Remain
This website is archived for historical purposes and is no longer being maintained or updated.
CDC addresses public health implications of the findings and recommendations just released by a multidisciplinary panel of the Family History State-of-the-Science Conference hosted by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, on August 24-25, 2009. Access the panel's statement.
Although the scope of this conference was limited to primary care, and the panel's findings and recommendations targeted the research community, the conference's impact will likely be felt beyond these boundaries. As a partner in this conference and given our long-held support for the use of family history in public health, CDC's Office of Public Health Genomics addresses the following potential implications of this conference for public health efforts conducted by CDC and its partners.
Family History and Clinical Utility for Single Gene Disorders
Advances in family history and genetics research have helped to establish the role of family history in the diagnosis and management of single-gene (Mendelian) disorders. Although these disorders are individually rare, collectively they present a significant public health issue, particularly among children. The Family History State-of-the-Science Conference did not include single gene disorders; however, in this area of medicine, the utility of family history in clinical settings and for individuals and their families has been demonstrated for many disorders. Still, we do not know the extent to which family history applications have been translated into clinical practice. This gap highlights a potentially important public health need for providing valid and useful genetic services to various communities, particularly those that are underserved.
Family History and Risk Assessment for Common Chronic Diseases
Most common human diseases are caused by complex interactions between a person's genes, behaviors, and environmental exposures. Although there have been major scientific advances in understanding the behavioral causes (e.g., diet, smoking, and physical activity) of several chronic diseases, advances on the genetic causes of these diseases have been slower. Family history includes the genes, behaviors, and environmental exposures that relatives share in common. Research on the use of family history to assess disease risk has been inadequate, as has research on family history use in public health interventions for common diseases. Thus, family history, so far, has limited documented clinical utility in assessing the risk and targeting interventions for these diseases. However, family history, alone or in combination with other risk factors, increases the risk for common diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and various cancers, much more than genetic variants, alone or in combination, can predict. The familial risk often shows a dose-response effect. That is, the more close relatives a person has with a particular disease and the earlier their ages of diagnosis, the greater that person's risk of also developing the same disease. Research on translating family history applications for risk assessment and disease prevention into clinical and public health practice is just beginning.
The panel pointed out numerous research efforts that are needed. The panel and others proposed the ACCE framework for evaluating the analytical validity, the clinical validity, the clinical utility, and the ethical, legal, and social aspects of using family history to prevent disease and improve the health of populations. Some research in this area is already under way. For example, CDC is collaborating with three universities to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the clinical utility of Family Healthware™ as a risk assessment tool for six common diseases (breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease). The methods and some results of this clinical trial have been published, but more is on the way.1-3
Family History Risk Assessment Tool
Family history has been and will continue to be a core component of clinical and public health practice. Although the panel pointed out the lack of evidence on the effectiveness of the many applications and uses of family history, they did not recommend against the collection and use of this information for common diseases. Existing tools, such as the My Family Health Portrait from the U.S. Surgeon General, is helping to facilitate the collection and use of family history by individuals and in clinical and public health settings. This information can still inform clinical encounters with patients and public health surveillance efforts in programs involving common chronic diseases in populations. However, users need to be aware that there are significant gaps in applying our knowledge of family history to common diseases. The specific recommendations that emerged from this conference are a good first step in paving the way for addressing these gaps.

Aston Villa missing nine players for Wigan clash
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert today revealed the squad are "down to the bare bones" for their Premier League clash with Wigan.
The injury-hit claret and blues will be without the services of nine senior players ahead the visit of a Latics side three points below them in the relegation places.
Definitely ruled out are Richard Dunne (hip), Ron Vlaar (calf), Gary Gardner (knee), Gabby Agbonlahor (hip), Darren Bent (hamstring), Charles N'Zogbia (knee), Nathan Baker (hamstring) and Andreas Weimann (calf).
Fabian Delph will miss out through suspension, after he picked up his fifth booking of the season against Tottenham on Boxing Day.
It means Lambert will look to youngsters Samir Carruthers, Derrick Williams and Daniel Johnson to make up the numbers on the Villa bench.
He said: "We are down to the bare bones regarding injuries. We have some big players out at the moment and we need to get them back as soon as we can.
"It's tough at this time of year because we have four games in 10 days. It's really hard. I don't think many will be back in time.
"But we have go to pick ourselves up and go with what we have got."
Meanwhile, Lambert today played down the idea that his squad does not contain enough experienced players.
The claret and blues host Wigan having conceded 12 goals in their past two games against Chelsea and Tottenham.
But, despite the naivety of those two performances, the Scot insisted Villa were no better off in the past few seasons when they had some old heads around.
Lambert argued: "As I have said before, over the last few years this club has had loads of experienced players and the situation has not really changed.
"Experienced players won't always take you where you want to go. I know that from my own experience and I have got a belief in the way we are doing it, in the long term, that this club will be great.
"There's no point me saying we are down there because of inexperience. This club was battling against relegation last season. I think definite progress has been made.
"I can see the long-term situation and what we are trying to do. We're not in the bottom three and the league is really tight. We're sitting not too far from mid-table."
The Villa boss has, however, demanded a response from his players against the Latics at Villa Park after their two humiliations.
He said: "You have to respond. There's no point in going out there and feeling sorry for yourself. We have to try to rectify it."Subscribe to our Newsletter

Excuses already in place at home to wigan we should be winning , no excuses cannot understand why vlaar and gabby have been out for so long when a couple games ago they was having late fitness test so they was close then! if he continues play Herd CB we are in trouble, the team should be;
Guzan, Lichaj, Clark, Lowton, Bennett, Bannan, Westwood, Albrighton, Ireland, Holman, Benteke.
this idiot is as bad if not worse than mclueless. Time to get rid of the lot starting with our invisible owner Mr Lerner and his equally useless side kick Faulkner.At least we will get a few derby games next year, blue noses,wolves, derby etc. as there is
only one way we are heading with this shower.
Villa should be beating Wigan at home? Look at our record v Wigan at home .... it's never an easy game and they lost narrowly to Arsenal and Everton. I think fans need a reality check! 10 players out doesn't seem like an excuse to me, it's a fact. Take 10 players out of most sides and they will struggle, especially when the squad isn't big in the first place. Take 10 out of Everton's Team and see what happens to them, look at Newcastle, two out and they are a different team to last year.
A clean sheet should be our first aim, and hopefully Benteke can fire again, but he has so little support from midfield it will be very tough. Maybe time to give Bowery a run and at least give their defence something to worry about.
paul villa
Wigan is a match that must be won .
Failure will prove that huge changes are essential .
All the banter in the world will not change the reality .
A win will prove the team is on the right track .
Go Villa and please hope the management act upon the result !!!

PL is a the man for the job,with a bit of backing we will do well..
i agree that many injurys is a valid excuse.
Andy Allen
PL is the right man for the job so we need to get real. It will take time and surely the doom merchants can see we have played some decent football along the way unlike with the last manager. Yes we have been thrashed twice recently, I have few doubts, PL will get it right in due course, if not this season then the next, be whatever division we are in.
David Pugh
Lets get rid of our manager owner and COE, Lads. But no one tells me who they would get in our who would want the jobs or have the money to buy the club. These same people wanted Doug Out Mac Unless out , and the french man out. It was the supporters that wanted PL in. Lets just keep getting people in and sacking them hey. thats the quickest way to end up in the 3rd div. What aload of Muppets. You can tell the plonkers. They never come up with an alternative, they are wise after the event, they would never have signed him, Go support Man U. with the rest of the plonkers, or are you blue noses in discise
phil wardend
i said you aint seen nothing yet after liverpool win i wish i said nothing
Albert Tatlock
I think Villa are lucky that they have a few others this season who are as bad as them cos that's the only chance they may not go down- the thing is Villa have got the money to buy there way out of the drop, but I bet Harry at QPR will get in much better players for a lot less then getting ppl to Villa, there's a queue of good hungry players waiting to play for him who are just not in favour where they are, he may loan a few but that's for safety in case they do go down, without Villa spending big they have no chance, an even a big spend up I don't think you can get the rite type of players in, I think in the next month you`ll see exactly where your going - an I think its obvious for all to see

Socks on 3 dpns or 4 dpns?
Hi everyone:
I'm doing the "class sock" from Charlene Schurch's book Sensational Knitted Socks using the 4 dpn method. It's a little confusing when renumbering the needles. Is making socks on 3 dpns easier? :shrug: This is the first sock I've knitted, so I'm a little lost at times. :?? I'd love to get your opinions on this.
Thanks! Hope you're all having a great day!
I am far from a pro knitter, but when I do socks I divide my stitches btwn 3 needles and use the 4th to knit with. There is a website I found very helpful with the first pair I knit and have referred back to it a few times since then.. <http://www.royea.net/sockdemo1.html>
Best of Luck
When I knit socks on dpns I always, always use 5 dpns. When you have the sock on the dpns you have less tension at the needle change if you have another dpn, lessening the chance of laddering. I've knit socks using 6 dpns because of this :wink:
Now...I'm a tried and true 2 circ socknitter.
I use 3, never had ladder issues.
I prefer 4 + working needle. Keeps my head in a space where I can see what part of the sock I'm workin' on.. :D
Plus, I find the 4+1 easier to manipulate in my hands, more flexibility.
That's why I like the 4 + working needle. I need to see the sock take shape. Maybe when I've been knitting socks a while, I can try another method. I've heard a lot about 2 circs, but that is WAY over my head and I don't even want to try and wrap my head around that right now! :lol: I do have an issue at times with laddering, so that's a concern as well!
Lucky you, moon ~ no ladders! How do you do it? :??
I always use 4.. 3 to hold the sts and 1 to knit with... if I start using more dpns I find it more confusing... :teehee:
Is it possible to knit socks on one circular needle? Is the reason why because there are no circular needles out there small enough. The smallest is what, 12". Could you concievably make your own circ small enough to knit socks? I am just wondering. The less needles I have to knit with, the better. I am very new!
mrspotter...you can use the Magic Loop method...you can check out Amy's video in the Advanced Technique tab on top (look for the small diameter knitting section). I also have a little book on Magic Loop that I picked up at my LYS.
Personally, I've just played around with it, haven't made any socks using Magic Loop. I've just completed some socks with 2 circ and I really liked it!!

SAN JOSE -- David Fales went to Nevada four years ago looking to be Colin Kaepernick's successor. He transferred a few months later after being told that wouldn't happen.
Now a record-setting senior quarterback at San Jose State, Fales finally will play a game in Reno for the first time Saturday when he leads the Spartans (5-4, 4-2 Mountain West Conference) against Nevada (3-7, 2-5) at 7:30 p.m.
Fales quickly figured out he wasn't a fit for Nevada's Pistol offense, and by December of his only season in 2009, his suspicions were confirmed by then-Wolf Pack coach Chris Ault.
"He said, 'We love you, you're a great person, we want to keep people like you around. But in this offense, you're not going to play,' " Fales recalled earlier this year.
Fales, who played two years at Monterey Peninsula College after leaving Nevada, appreciated Ault's honesty. His reaction: "Thank you. Don't try to feed me along and keep me here. I told him I want to play, so it was understood that I'm leaving."
Ault, who is the innovator of the Pistol offense, had recruited Fales under the premise that Nevada would revert to a more pass-oriented attack after Kaepernick graduated. Ault ran the Pistol for two seasons before Kaepernick arrived, and those quarterbacks were far from elite runners.
"When the quarterback would run, he'd get five or seven yards, never anything crazy. Coach Ault said, 'That's what I want to do, and I think you can come in and do that after Kaepernick,' " Fales said.
Then Kaepernick, who was a junior during Fales' tenure, blew up. His speed brought a new dimension to the offense and provided a clear prototype for the position.
Fales and Kaepernick never spent enough time around each other to develop much of a relationship. They had a brief conversation last spring when they ran into each other, but Kaepernick, now the 49ers quarterback, said this week that he's worried about his own team, not keeping up with the exploits of his former backup.
As for Fales, his focus is on beating a Nevada team that is having its worst season since 2004. The Spartans need to win one of their final three to be bowl eligible but might need two to guarantee a postseason spot.
There's a decent chance the Mountain West winds up with seven bowl-eligible teams for its six spots. Fresno State (9-0, 6-0) is No. 14 in the latest BCS standings, and if it earns a spot in a BCS bowl game, there would be a place for seven teams.
But if there's only six spots, someone could be left out. That makes every win vitally important to SJSU.
It's also why Fales can't be distracted when he experiences a game from the field at Mackay Stadium for the first time. During his lone year there, the best view he ever got was from the stands because Nevada didn't suit up its redshirts, even at home games.
SJSU coach Ron Caragher isn't worried about his quarterback's emotions, especially with Nevada having a nearly entirely new coaching staff.
"If it was the old staff he played under, I think it would be different," Caragher said. "I think it'd be closer to home."
Fales can lean on the experience of his performance against Wyoming, another school at which he spent some time. In that victory Oct. 26, Fales had career highs in passing yards and touchdowns. The Spartans would love to see a repeat performance.

Established in 1874, the Kansas City Missouri Police Department has for 138 years protected our citizens while keeping abreast of changes in criminology, transportation, technology, and society.
The KCPD's colorful past is explored in the exhibit Kansas City's Finest on display through June 30, 2013, at the Central Library, 14 W. 10ths St.
The exhibit -- featuring materials from the Kansas City Police Historical Society now available to researchers in the Library's Missouri Valley Special Collections -- covers many aspects of the department's history.
Examined is the evolution of police communications technology (from a call box system to radios dispatchers and patrol car computers), outreach and public relations (the Police Circus, Happy the Safety Clown, Neighborhood Watch, and modern social media like Facebook and Twitter), and the roles of minorities and women.
So, too, is the force's past, from its earliest efforts through the "crime busters" era, the controversial Pendergast years, and the major events - the 1968 riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, the skywalk collapse of the Hyatt Regency -- that have marked the KCPD's history.
Admission is free. Free parking is available at the Library District Parking Garage at 10th & Baltimore.

Microsoft tells Ensemble to hit the road jack
Apparently the plan to buy up dev houses and keep them internally is becoming unfashionable and Microsoft is letting go one the most successful development houses they own after they ship Halo Wars. Why? Well, because of the bottom line of course. I've been told that and I pretty much believe it…and I'm sure it's related to whatever business plan of the year is for big game companies like Microsoft. They'll divest now, then in a year or three, they will buy big again. The ebb and flow of life if you will.
The sad part is that Ensemble gets shoved out the door while Microsoft can't decide what to do with itself. They have made some of the best RTSes ever created. I'd suggest that Age of Mythology was their best (with the expansion), but I think that's just personal opinion as I have a soft spot for mythology in general.
I hope the new studio forming out of the mess of Microsoft's dismissal of Ensemble is kick ass and they like having their freedom again:
After the closure, the Ensemble leadership team will form a new studio and has agreed to provide ongoing support for Halo Wars as well as work on other projects with Microsoft Game Studios
Much like Bungie, they are going to be an external resource instead of an internal one now. Whatever. I guess to keep the investors happy, you need to make it look like you're doing something, even if that something can be qualified as moving the same box back and forth and calling it progress.
What Would Matt Do: If I were Lionhead, I'd be very wary. They are about to release Fable 2 and right after a big game release is when guys like Microsoft and Sony like to cut dev houses.

By Dave Graham and Miguel Gutierrez MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Divisions within Mexico's main conservative opposition party have erupted into a bitter public dispute that threatens to undermine the reform agenda of President Enrique Pena Nieto. Short of a majority in Congress, Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is likely to need support from the conservative National Action Party, or PAN, to see through plans to overhaul state oil giant Pemex and broaden the tax base. ...

SEBRING — A man convicted of kidnapping and raping a 12-year-old girl nine years ago was arrested after being accused of failure to report to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, according to a report released Monday.
Jose Luis Rodriguez, 25, 3616 Howard Ave., Sebring, was charged with failure to change/renew information on an identification card within 48 hours.
Rodriguez, who registered with the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, was told he had to obtain a valid driver's license or identification card within 48 hours of registration, the report said.
Several checks showed that Rodriguez had not done that, despite being told to do so, the report said.
The report said that Rodriguez was convicted in 2005 of attempted sexual battery and false imprisonment of a child with sexual battery.

Patient Comments: Malaria - Symptoms
What were your malaria symptoms and signs?
A Doctor's View on Malaria Symptoms and Signs
Read the Comment by Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
The first symptoms and signs of malaria include fever, chills, muscle aches, and headaches and may also include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cough. Eventually, you will experience bouts of fever, shaking chills, and sweating that repeat every few days. Weakness, muscle aches and pains, weight loss, and jaundice may accompany the above symptoms and signs. Read the entire Doctor's View
Comment from: Glenn, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: July 16
I am a Survivor of malaria strain P.falciparum. First signs were typical cold and flu for a day then a good run for 4 days then a cyclic pattern of recurring symptoms over the next few days in 24hr cycles. Each recurrence was worse than the previous. The lead-in took about 7 to 8days. The symptoms eventually did not give any further relief days and the cycles melded into bad and worse days. Starting now at day 1, the symptoms worsened to lethargy, lack of concentration and shortness of breath along with normal flu aches and pains. A visit to the local medical centre for suspect flu on day 1, routine malaria tests were negative. I am feeling slightly better on day 2, but certainly not functional. I am back to the medical centre on day 3 and doctor was convinced by looking at me, that I had a strain of malaria. More routine tests returned another negative result so back to the lounge room floor. The next day now day 4, I could lay dead still for 4 to 6 hours and only move to go to the toilet. Returning to the floor, my heart rate was at about 160bpm and the energy exerted required a good 4 hour rest again. On day 5 and the third visit to the medical centre, the blood test came back positive and the strain was identified. The doctor sincerely concerned with the strain identified and the duration of my illness. I was medivac'd to Australia. Further medication was given on arrival. Full Recovery took 9 months, but damage was done. For 2 to 3 months I remained on the lounge room floor. During the 3rd and 4th month, I had to train my muscles to walk again at the local shopping centre. By the end of the 5th month I could walk one full length of a shopping centre. A further 4 months passed with daily walks before I was back to normal. By the 12th month I was struck by depression and then spent 3 months working out of it, but that's another story.
Comment from: Bel-Jozzie SA, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 18
Tomorrow I will get to find out if I contracted malaria! I was in Mozambique years ago not hot, pleasant time to go, but first evening I got bitten! I sprayed my bitten area and rest of the body with "Peaceful Sleep" repellant aerosol. It was the third trip to this part of Mozambique. A week later, not even I got fever blisters on my top lip (almost occupied the whole upper lip). Thinking my immune system is down, just used fever blister cream and it took basically two weeks to recover. Whilst recovering I started getting nauseous. Funny sensation in my stomach did not do well with smells or car trips. Last week Thursday I got up had 1/3 of the cup of coffee, then took my BP medication and I went back to bed, as body was saw (like fever type) chest was sore, (could not even smoke) as I got in I had to get up to go and vomit. There after experienced weird body pains and I was extremely cold, shivers and lower back pains! I could not eat, I just wanted tea, but slept the entire day and night. The next day I thought I had the energy to go back to work, had a bath, but forget it went back into bed. Over the weekend I felt slightly better but the nausea was still there. It is just a weird sensation! You feel you are not right! I feel my eyes are getting blurry and it feels like there is sand in them! I wake up sweaty in the mornings even though it's freezing cold here. Today decided to go to doctor and I described the symptoms to the doc and he asked if I recently visited malaria stricken area! He also noted I had fever blisters- (slight red traces on upper lip). He then told me it sounds like I got malaria! I will get my blood results tomorrow and hope that its still in early stages as I am a sufferer of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) and reading other comments has scared the living daylight out of me. I will comment back with feed back if it was positive or negative.
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 17
I contracted malaria after a beach holiday in Mozambique. The first sign was a flu-like ache in my joints, followed by a mild headache, then a fever, which broke some hours later in the night in a torrent of sweat! A severe headache and pain in my shoulders and lower back, along with horrible nausea took me to bed for an afternoon and a night, but I had already started treatment with a drug called Coartem 20/120 (artemether lumefantrine). After that second horrid night, the fevers and chills stopped, but the sweating occurred on and off in milder and milder form until the third day.
Comment from: kahutes, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: September 09
I contracted falciparum malaria in Vietnam in 1968 with a temperature of 106 to 107 I had been told. I wonder if there could be some brain damage related with this occurrence or a connection in some way that may have affected my sometimes irrational behavior and confusion over these years.
Comment from: Malcolm, 55-64 Male Published: March 20
I had malaria in 1980 when I was working in Kenya. I spent six weeks in the hospital and lost a lot of weight, which made me very weak for weeks after. After a few years, I visited Bali. While I was there, I was bitten by a mosquito on the leg and had to have an injection because my leg had swollen up so bad. I had a difficult time walking. I have found over the years that I get a swelling to the area when I get bitten by a mosquito.

President Park Hits Out at Japan in Speech
South Korean President Park Geun-hye marked the country's day of independence from imperial Japan by hitting out at Tokyo's recent handling of its history of colonization and war.
The annual address serves as a bellwether for the two neighbors' relations, which is often strained by disagreements over how Japan remembers its brutal 35-year occupation of the Korean peninsula and the subsequent wartime aggression during World War II.
In her first independence-day speech as president, Ms. Park said Thursday that Japanese politicians were acting against their own people's wishes for regional peace and prosperity.
"If politicians don't follow the hearts of the people but keep to the past, they are ignoring the future," Ms. Park said in a televised speech.
Japan and South Korea's ties are at a historic low after top Japanese officials made remarks that could be considered historical revisionism. Osaka mayor Toru Hashimoto suggested in May that the wartime sex slaves – the great majority of whom were brought from Korea and China – served voluntarily.
Japan's closest neighbors–China and South Korea—perceive a lack of atonement from Japanese leaders for war crimes and also object to Japanese versions of textbooks that they say water down these crimes.
South Korea has repeatedly called for Japan to do more to settle the long-running dispute over wartime sex slaves, particularly after Korea's constitutional court in August 2011 ordered the South Korean government to reopen negotiations with Tokyo.
In her speech, Ms. Park urged "responsible and sincere measures to those wounded by history" from Tokyo, in a veiled reference to so-called "comfort women."
Seoul seeks more apologies to individual women and revisions to the compensation scheme to acknowledge the government's role in forced prostitution more explicitly. Tokyo notes a slew of apologies have been made by Japanese prime ministers and other officials for wartime aggression and a 1965 treaty settled all wartime claims in return for payments and other assistance.
There are also territorial disputes over the islets to South Korea's east, which Ms. Park didn't mention in her address.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Ms. Park haven't met at a bilateral summit since they came into office last year and in February, respectively.
Ms. Park also proposed to reunite the families of the two Koreas separated by the Korean War more than six decades ago, taking note of the day's double significance as the founding of two Koreas.
Ms. Park's conciliatory gesture towards North Korea comes a day after after the two Koreas agreed to reopen the shuttered joint industrial complex inside the North.
She proposed that the reunion of separated families be held over a local thanksgiving holiday next month.
The reunions are a powerful symbol of reconciliation for the two Koreas, as millions of Koreans were separated from family members by the Korean War and the subsequent division of the peninsula. The last reunion took place in 2010, after which relations between the two countries soured.
Correction & Amplification
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Japan occupied the Korean peninsula for 30 years. It was 35 years.

Why is Daddy-little girl ok but I don't hear anyone talk about Mommy-little boy play?
Even some lesbians call themselves "Daddy".
I assume there is less desire for this type of play or more of it would be happening.
I wasn't interested but i met a very nice young man who wants to do this because I resemble his mother who he finds to be attractive and sexy.
I asked him about his history with his Mom. He does like older women.
He wants to call me Mom. He did ask me if I had kids before telling me this and I do not.
I'm curious what the more experienced players have to say about Mommy play.

Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 9:56 AM"Why is Daddy-little girl ok but I don't hear anyone talk about Mommy-little boy play?"
I don't think that mommy-little boy play is not ok, it's jst not as commonly talked about. I imagine there are lots of reasons for that, social expectations of what constitutes a 'real' man and so on. but in my experience, Mommy/little boy play is not all that uncommon. just ask any Pro Domme in the area and she will tell you that there are PLENTY of men out there looking to do that kind pof play. It's a whole different dynamic than what i am familiar with in D/lg play and so I can't speak on the subject with any kind of authority, but from my limited understanding, M/lb play seems to be much more sexual and role play oriented at least among het folks. I've known as many Adult/little relationships as there are sexual orientations and gendered folks to practice them and there are slightly different feels to each kind of dynamic, and of course, each couple is different.
You may consider bringing this question to one of the age play froums as well. I know there are a couple of adult little boys lurking in at least one of the tribes I'm in, but they generally do not participate much in spite of mch coaxing to come out and play.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 10:03 AMI agree with bethie--maybe because the femme domme/male sub dynamic often has matriarchal overtones, its not as explicit in discussions? I have done a lot of older woman/younger man role play (and real life stuff as well), but generally as a boss or teacher or babysitter. A request to act out a real mom/son incest scenario is rare, but not outside my experience.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 1:23 PMThanks for your responses.
I guess that I could have used better words, I did not mean to say that it is not ok, I just do not hear anyone talk abou tit like I do Daddy-little girl.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 1:58 PMI think that sadly, it is a cultural thing. Women are given permission to be little and vulnerable more so than men. I play with a bottom who enjoys that type of play. Although it's more of a Big Sister/Babysitter dynamic. I have a lot of fun with it and so does he...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 2:07 PMI definitely have done mommy/girl play both as the girl and as the Mommy. I don't play with boys so can't comment there. I do know femme dykes who ID as mommy and play with bois. It's not as common as daddy/girl, but it can be very hot :) There's nurturing, taboo breaking, hot role play.... Yay! If it gets you hot, go for it :D
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 4:50 PMAs someone already mentioned, Mommy-little boy play certainly takes place in the pro domme world as well as in private play. In personal play, I've been a mom for over a dozen years to a girl who is sometimes a mom herself. She calls me mom all the time which has been a little confusing when we've actually been around real family members although no one has done more than looking at us askance. I'm definitely more often considered the Auntie...both for males and females. There are several age play tribes which you might want to check out if it seems like energy you might enjoy.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 6:38 PMImterestingly enough. the current CSI rerun on my TV right now is about exactly this. Their POV, is, of course, slightly skewed toward the Vanilla...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 8:21 PMI saw that episode! Wow! Did that guy have an awesome playroom or what? My Little Girl self was so envious!
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 3, 2007 - 9:47 PMI find there isn't much talk about Mommy and little girl play, either. In fact, I think there IS a stigma against being "mommy". There used to be a contest in the women's community that was best Dyke Mommy, Dyke Daddy, Dyke girl and dyke boy, but over the years they phased out the "mommy" part in favor of best "Dyke diva", which is so a different thing.
I have a mommy and I'm super thrilled with her. It took quite a bit of searching to find the right person and it ended up being someone where neither of us were expecting to go there. I'm her Daddy some of the time and she's my mommy some of the time.
I don't id as either a girl or a boy for most of the time, though. If anything I am an ungendered toddler or little messy monster.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 5:07 AMI have noticed that a lot of dominant women have no desire to play mommy. The comment usually goes something like this. I already have kids and I don't need another one. Maybe this has something to do with this dynamic not being out in public a lot.
When I lived in Seattle in the early 90's there were a lot of public adult baby boys and mommies. I don't know if it was a fad for that time frame or if it's just more popular up there but there were a lot of them.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 9:20 AMIt certainly carries the most emotional baggage of any role play I've done.
There is a subtle difference between "be a mommy" and "be my Mommy." If someone is very deeply into the scene, issues from the person's real relationship with his/her mother can come up, which gets really heavy really fast, so it takes more pre-negotiation for me to go there.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 10:44 AMI'd say the boi and I are silently negotiating this - I don't think of myself as maternal - I can be an Auntie but age play is not something on the top of my list. We did a wee bit of a scene the other day which was very much me talking to `the littlest one'. I could pulll a whole feminist analysis on why Mommy/boi is undervalued and there is so much power assumed to Daddy/girl - but I don't need to go there....nor want to....My question remains - when a Daddy and a Mommy meet in a public bathroom after fucking/beating the piss out of their particular boi/girl is the conversation on equal grounds. Does the bio gender or gender identity of the person under the title matter....
I am (a)musing out loud.....
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 10:49 AMwhen a Daddy and a Mommy meet in a public bathroom after fucking/beating the piss out of their particular boi/girl is the conversation on equal grounds. Does the bio gender or gender identity of the person under the title matter....
I would think that would depend on the two people in question. For me everyone is on equal ground. Mommies, daddies, boys, bois, girls, gurls and a equal.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 11:14 AMIf a Daddy and Mommy meet in a public bathroom... is it a non-gendered bathroom?
Gender politics doesn't go away just because someone is involved in role plays or kink. Its highly person-specific, IMO.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Gender politics - short.Fri, May 4, 2007 - 6:28 PMGender politics totally doesn't go away whether its a non-gendered bathroom or not...sure there's lots to take into consideration about people, what they project, personal power etc but on the surface...or just below.... That;s a whole other topic - I really just wanted acknowledge Darkly's post...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 6:25 PMI agree with the equality thing - that is the thread in all I do - I'm only interested in topping an equal, Negotiating with an equal.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Sat, May 5, 2007 - 12:13 PMInteresting point, about the issue of equality in the context of power exchange play.
Parent/child and Older/younger interactions are inherently unequal. It is the inherent inequality that makes the opportunity for abuse so... whats the right word... ripe?
Negotiation occurs when the players are equals (hopefully), but the scene gets its power from the power INequality... I think...
anybody else have any thoughts on that?
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Sat, May 5, 2007 - 1:00 PMSounds like the difference in how I would define "energy exchange" and "power dynamic". I would like to think that in my interactions the energy exchange would be equal in terms of having needs met, by giving power over my actions to the person I'm playing with (in this case, the Daddy/Mommy figure), or playing aikido with me, or dancing tango.
I do all of these activities for exactly the same reason.I give up control and I get energy, and energetic connection with my partner. In aikido, I switch...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Sat, May 5, 2007 - 2:19 PMI think Darkly we are on about the same thing - I like smart subs, those who can live in the world and function really well but in our play space well = ) .
I think my post was too brief....
Yes I agree the scene is powerful because of the negotiated inequality - and that;s made even more safe for me and interesting because my sub can clearly articulate hys understanding of inequality in the real world.
My sub has a clear understanding of the power parents have over their kids. He's very articulate about ensuring within the negotiated inequality that we don't trigger history for hym or myself.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Thu, May 10, 2007 - 7:23 PM"Parent/child and Older/younger interactions are inherently unequal. It is the inherent inequality that makes the opportunity for abuse so... whats the right word... ripe?"
Disconcerting. But remember, that abuse is even more present in the real world.
"Negotiation occurs when the players are equals (hopefully), but the scene gets its power from the power INequality... I think...
anybody else have any thoughts on that?"
Posting under a separate title.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Thu, May 10, 2007 - 8:10 PMI was referring to the real world in that comment. Abuse is potentially present in any power inequity, and real world inter-age interactions are power inequities.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Indeed what about it?Thu, May 10, 2007 - 7:21 PM"My question remains - when a Daddy and a Mommy meet in a public bathroom after fucking/beating the piss out of their particular boi/girl is the conversation on equal grounds. Does the bio gender or gender identity of the person under the title matter.... "
For the people I've known, it has not mattered. And the relationship between them may be contextual.
I've know people who were mutually each other's parents or mommies. Or triads which were daisy chained with A doms B doms C doms A. Simalarly, "familial" relationships aren't necessarily consistent with bio relationships either.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 10:46 AMI love Mommies! If I meet a woman and am attracted to her, there is a chance that she is a Mommy...I love the energy...Although I have never done M/lg play...just D/lg...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, May 4, 2007 - 11:02 AMI played Daddy/little girl with my ex, who also wanted to play Mommy/little boy. At the time I was very uncomfortable about it but in retrospect it could have turned into little girl Mommy playing that Daddy was a little boy but I still have no desire to be a Mommy in any definition!
I miss having a Daddy all my own...
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, May 14, 2007 - 5:58 AMDuring one of Master and I's more recent sessions She whalloped me pretty good a few times and actually broke me down a good little bit. I ended up sort of mini-sobbing in her arms and falling off into little space. I'm not a little by deffinition, but She's speculated that I might actually be one. But She called me Her 'little boy' and asked if I wanted Her to by my Mommy. Something deffinietly clicked into place in that moment. It was gone just as fleetingly, five or ten minutes at most, but it was present.
So, I guess to answer your question, at least in my case you may be looking at a fledgling case of M/lb. I'm not sure, but i think that there aren't many males (or masculine gender identifying) out there who are either little, or at least playful. To get a male into little space takes a lot of wall tearing, you have to avoid the pot hole of "sissy play" along the way, and when you get there you may find that he can only be broken down to it.
Just my opinion on it, but I think basically the conditions for M/lb play are a lot rarer simply because you need a male little identifier who's also into some form of D/s (even just a bit) and who hasn't gone into sissy play *and* who's willing to let their little out. Then you need to find a Female identifying top who want's a little boy. *Then!* you need to get them into the same room.
I'm sure there are lots of other conditions and ways, but the above posters are right. Het world and Het politics just don't breed genuine male littles nearly as often they do females.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, May 14, 2007 - 8:08 AMMr. macs ,
That is an excellent point. It's given me a lot to think about.
Thanks :)
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, November 28, 2008 - 12:29 PMmacs,
I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of baby sissy boys choose it because it FORCES them to accept the regression. Not only are they humiliated into it, but they are being told to be female, which, as others have pointed out, "means" that nurturing is ok to give and accept. There is practically no middle ground for boys because of the walls society has forced them to build up; if they want to be little, someone has to tear them down demolition style. It seems to me that most want to be "put" into another mindset (be it into the mindset of a girl, when it's ok to be nurtured, or a baby in the extreme, when it's ok to be nurtured) because their own minds can't wrap around the implications their desires make. I know it's a bit controversial of me to say, but I've thought about this lots for personal reasons. From my experience, sissy boys/ infant boys (which are truly more OPENLY prevalent than little boys "my" age) are incredibly aggressive in seeking out a Mommy, often under a variety of different pretenses. I personally believe that's not only because of the reasons outlined by others, but because their need to be little (which I understand can be a strong one) is prevented by their own built in inhibitions, so that they NEED someone to tear down the walls and force them to be themselves. Their desire to be little is completely wrapped up in complex fantasies they've built up over time to excuse themselves from their feelings, to the point that they're at a fevered pitch of desire for someone to step into a pre-written script. It feels like a reverse power play, with the bottom forcing their often detailed fantasies onto the top under the pretext that it's what the top wants (so, topping from the bottom). It works out that they'd need a fluffy top willing to indulge in the written script (if the baby/sissy was willing to impart such details, as their fantasies often mean the top just "has to know and want it, too,") while also finding their personal enjoyment in the rather particular "wall tearing" the sissy/baby wants. The fun cycle is that the longer it takes to find someone, the more the baby/sissy needs to be made to be themselves, the more desperate they get, and the more convoluted the fantasy becomes.
In short, I imagine quite a few more Mommies would come forward if there were more little boys who were relaxed about their ageplaying needs.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, December 5, 2008 - 8:39 PMI agree Autumn, some of the diaper aged little boys or sissies I've met have just had the worst manners and have been so passive when actually playing that I can't imagine how anyone would play with them besides a professional. Another thing I find when talking about baby sissies with many women (even professionals) is that they don't really like the way sissies want feminitity to look. Some women might want a baby boy or even a crossdressing baby but they really don't want someone who wants to be as sacharine, all dolled up in lace and doilies.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, December 5, 2008 - 8:44 PMI don't mean to say all little boys (male or female) or all sissies are annoying. Lots are lots of fun. I just remember clearly several who were a huge pain in the ass for everyone around them. For one reason, cause they seemed to refuse to come out of scene and/or wanted all the women around to baby them - ug, i'm not playing with you so stop pretending I am.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Sat, December 6, 2008 - 11:13 AMlol. I hear you. It's not quite what I was trying to say, but I hear you.
I feel I need to put it out there, though, that one of my best friends is a little boy. I'm not prejudiced against the concept by any means, I've just.... noticed some things... and more so the longer I've been in "the scene."
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, May 10, 2007 - 6:56 PMMommy play with bio women is less common. But so are fem dom scenes in general. I could hypothesize why, but basically, that's just the way it is in the het world.
I've known several gay men who played "mommy", though. And I don't think the ratio of mommies to daddies is particularly different from the ratio of fem doms to male doms.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, May 14, 2007 - 9:16 AMHehehee--I'm laughing only because of my experience with Mother's Day yesterday.
I went out to dinner with my Daddy and my little boy. My daddy is old enough to be my grandfather and my little boy is my age. The waitress was thoroughly confused with all of the 'Daddy' and 'Mommy' comments throughout! We came home and I put Daddy in a shower and then to bed and then I beat on my little boy, showered, and put him to bed!
What a wonderfully twisted lifestyle this is!
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Why only anilize things from only one perspectiveSun, May 27, 2007 - 9:11 PMWhat does your studies say in the cases of homosexual male relationships?
Among gay men there has always been the young guy and older man relationship, and in some there are some areas of dad and son aspects. I actually moderate a tribe for men who are interested in these forms of relationships in the more nurturing loving aspects. As to the other domination and discipline forms.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Why only anilize things from only one perspectiveMon, May 28, 2007 - 12:44 AMI'm not a moderator but howzabout starting your own post or invite people to your tribe? I think the thing that I read into this interesting thread is:
There is not that much visibility for age play around Mommies- we see so much Daddy/boy or Daddy/girl stuff out there even within the non-straight, non-het world. I don't often hear about the Mommy perspective so this was refreshing. Also, part of the heat in it to me is one does not have to have an actual age gap to make it hot and interesting as the Mother's Day family outing post so humorously showed.
Although I haven't commented much on this thread I have read it with interest and appreciate the original poster for asking it. I think it brought out some good discussion and deserves to be a posting in its own right.
Just my opinion tho'.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Sat, June 9, 2007 - 5:26 PMAnn;
i totally agree there are not a lot of chances for that sort of fun .i would certainly love to hear more about your experiences
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Sun, June 17, 2007 - 3:46 AMTake into consideration that being called a "Momma's boy" in a vanilla context is generally considered an insult, while being "Daddy's little girl" isn't (or at least it depends on how you use it). Note that you see "Daddy's little girl" tee shirts for daughters, but not "Mommy's little boy" shirts for sons. That may affect how willing people are to talk about or act out a Mommy/little boy scenario in a BDSM context.
I have to admit that when I co-owned a female slave, I did do Mommy/little girl. With my current (male) sub, however, I don't Mommy/little boy. At least I don't do it overtly. I tend to be quite maternal in general, although I don't have any biological children of my own, so there is some of the Mommy/little boy vibe going on, especially when he's having a rough time. Part of the reason we don't do Mommy/little boy overtly may be because he's a rank beginner. Part of it is probably because he has issues with his bio mother and so doing Mommy/little boy could have some real negative repercussions. Part of it is simply that the "little girl" indicated that she wanted that sort of dynamic while my boy hasn't.
I'm also wondering if it's less "socially acceptable" for heterosexual men to role play. I know quite a few female human "kitty cats", one puppy and a few pony girls. Most of the male "animals" I know are gay though (puppies generally), with two bisexual pony boys. My boy wants to be a kitty cat, but in a Zentai suit. Consequently he'll be "anonymous" (although anyone who knows us will know who it is). For reference, he is heterosexual and male. ;-)
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Sun, June 17, 2007 - 5:36 AMWhile to some extent I would agree with you that it being a social stigma could be why there is not a lot of Mommy/lb talk, but then I would think this would also extend to submissive men in general.
While today men are taught to respect women and treat them as our equals, there is still a part of our culture that says men are the ones in control; we are the bread winners for our families.
I might also think that part of it might be that men are less concerned with getting older then women. While I am still young and only turn thirty a week from today, I am greatly looking forward to it. In contrast to most women that I know do not look forward to getting older in general.
You say that there might be negative repercussions with doing Mommy/lb with your current submissive because he has issues with his bio mom. I would say that it could be the opposite and might even encourage grow. Showing him that Mommies are not all the same and some can be loving and healthy
As a side note as well, a couple months ago I attended my first age play party. And I have to say that it seemed pretty balanced between little girls and little boys. I would also say that the youngest acting ones were also male.
Well this is my rambling on the subject.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, June 18, 2007 - 8:46 PMWhile I will grant your point about the possible social stigma of male submission in general, I guess part of the point I was trying to make is that most heterosexual male subs I see aren't doing role play of any type. That is unless you consider submission in itself role play, in that they might act differently than they do with vanilla friends and family (although one might be able to argue which situation is really role playing ;-) ).
As far as my sub and his bio mom, I might be able to show that different mommies are different eventually. Unfortunately, his life has left him with a lot of trust issues. I'm one of only 2 people he really trusts in his life, and that's largely because I'm very careful about going into things slowly and carefully with him. I have other things to work on before I worry about Mommy/lb. BTW, I have done that sort of thing before with someone else, but more working through with someone that not all WOMEN are alike after he had a series of bad relationships.
Just an other optionWed, June 20, 2007 - 11:57 AMI am a dominant by nature. However I have never had a younger girlfriend for any amount of time. Currently I am just getting involved with a girl that is 30yo (I am 20). I have no sexual attraction to this, I will note, yet some how I simply have found that I connect with older females much easier. Despite my natural tendency to dominate my partner and my desire for a M/s relation I almost find that I dream of a situation in which I may have a slave whom I am able to curl up next to and feel protected/safe. I guess the idea I am getting at is {slave-mommy/Master-little boy} just an Idea I would love to watch you all kick around.
Re: Just an other optionWed, June 20, 2007 - 12:14 PMI know of other people who have submissive "parents". The dynamic does not always have to be that the "parent" or "elder" is the dominant one. I know of an adult baby who likes to spank his mommy sometimes in scene.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, August 20, 2008 - 11:11 PMWell for me its not sexaul thing i do love the role play the Mommy/son
its a connetion that i did not have when i was growing up.
i was rasied in foster care
so i did not have that matternal figuer in my life witch i really needed
some to to tame down. and have that connetion
i did see and hear my freinds get spanked by there moms
did i get excited alittle bit but not in a sexual way .
it was neet to see and hear and i wish i had that in my life
having my pants taken down and pulled over her knee for a good
spanking and thjen sent to the corner after or made to do some
chores or wrting lines its a dicspline thing
for me and some other pepole we just need that connetion

Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, August 29, 2008 - 5:08 PMi have read and re-read all the comments started by this question and finally i decided to post a comment of my own.
I am a switch by nature,I prefer to be sub but I do Dom as well.I also age play,I play as a five year old who is exploring and I try to be as realistic as I can imagine a five year old to be. I knew of age play chat rooms where three year olds were climbing and jumping off the roof which to me is so non realistic and somewhat silly but all they were interested in was some sure fire cyber spanking .
During the time as a male age player I found there aren't that many women willing to take the responsibility of looking after a little boy unless they want an incestuous relationship.
That's not to say all women are the same I'm sure there are lots who would relish the love of their little boy who will give them hugs and snuggle and draw pictures,and will take the time to provide loving discipline as required,they need to make themselves known.Maybe there should be a tribe with Mommies looking for little boys ......... that would be a tribe I'd join straight away
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Fri, August 29, 2008 - 6:02 PM
Why don't you start that tribe and post of it's existence in a few (just a few) other tribe where you might find such people. ?
Perhaps once you build it, they will come?
Best, Steve.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Sat, August 30, 2008 - 11:35 AMi took what you said and did so its called Mommies boy
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, October 22, 2008 - 4:41 AMi set up a mommy boy tribe a while ago and have had no interest in it perhaps i am alone in the ageplay area of a boy wanting a mommy??
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, October 22, 2008 - 11:28 AMThere's a difference between an interest in the dynamic and an interest in a tribe.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, October 22, 2008 - 3:12 PMI could not find your tribe in a search. I suggest you put the actual link up for the tribe on this thread. I had to go to your profile to find the tribe. It might help.

Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, November 24, 2008 - 8:49 PMYou know ben, what may have turned lots of folx off is the judgemental way you seem to express what you think is rubbish and put down what some people like that you don't. Just thinking that when I read your first intro post in your tribe. Your negativity towards other people's fantasies made me not want anything to do with your tribe, even if I didn't share those fantasies.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, November 26, 2008 - 5:01 PMactually i didnt say anyones taste was rubbish if you read it properly it says "incest and rubbish" as a statement i am open to most things but have limits aswell as anyone else
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, November 26, 2008 - 5:30 PMPerhaps I didn't understand. Are you saying that you think that people who actually fantasize about their relatives or are you saying people who actually are having sex with their relatives?
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Thu, November 27, 2008 - 3:15 PMim on about when a "mommy" has sex with her 5yr old so real life when mothers sleep with their sons and fathers their daughters etc at the end of the day a fantasy is just that a fantasy no-one gets hurt by it (unless that's the fantasy lol)
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, December 1, 2008 - 4:53 PMMy starz and garterz! What a tremendous amount of dicussion about Age Play from the Mommy/boy perspective!
I specialize in this type of play in my Professional Surrogate practice and have done many types of roles from sexully erotiuc to the
non-sexual. Some folks such as my dear friend Mistress Cybelle do complete nurturing even to infant play. This type of play often has nothing to do with eroticism and everything to do with a level of attention that creates complete and total regression to a time of non involvement in the world of adult responsibility. It can go from total nurturing to unbelieveable play with spankings and Flying as the ultimate goal.
As an older Domme I find more and more folx ask for this type of experience. I love Age Play!
Someone stated that this is a social issue and there are several dynamics discussed about why we don't share much in the Scene in general about this... Beats the heck outta me LOL!
No really sometimes as a Professional I don't tend to discuss session experiences publically. However.... I find that as more Dominas emerge the topics and experiences have varied more and more.
Sooo stay tuned *WEG*
I absolutely insist on having a sense of Humor.
(It gets boring being an Olde Guarde High Domina and having to be so protocol oriented! nose in ayerrr!!!)
PS I agree that this must of course be complete fantasy. I always do an emotional health history when I Scene pro or social if Age Play is involved.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, December 31, 2008 - 10:46 AMhi all. i am new hear. I have always been atracted to this type of play. I think that it is really nice to be taken back to a time where you had no real cairs and no worries and stuff like that. I have had a fanticey of beaing a little boy to a kind and loving ladey who is also in to beaing a mommy. I am happy that i found this group and that i can talk so oapindley about this subject with out fear of beaing judged. if any ladies want to chatt about this then feel free to add me on yahoo firstname.lastname@example.com or msn email@example.com take care all and happy newyear!!!!
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Wed, January 21, 2009 - 8:21 PMi see alot of people sayinga bout sissy boys etc i love to play a 5 year old boy how explores thing and has fun has a great time in the bath with his "Mommy" caring for him its a regressive state i know but one i like i dont want to be a girl or anything i just have the need to be cared for and yes while i play five i will do naughty thins and get my bottom smacked but like a five year old would
its all about the realism
YeahTue, December 8, 2009 - 8:51 AMIn all honesty I love this type of roleplay. I tried to get my girlfriend to do it but I was too embarrassed to ask her straight up. I tried to hint at it during sex but she didn't respond. Yeah I think it's weird that Daddy is acceptable but not the other way around. Dunno.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Tue, December 8, 2009 - 3:00 PMIn my opinion, it's not about what is or isn't acceptable, it's about what is more common.
Daddy-daughter just happens to be more common.
Have fun in whatever you do, and if it's acceptable to you, that's all that matters.
Re: What about Mommy-little boy?Mon, January 20, 2014 - 8:09 AMThis is an area I have been interested in for a long time. My Femdom Mommy wanted to find a way to explore this role play but felt uncomfortable with hard core sissy or baby play. So she began to experiment with preteen age play with me as her little boy. This is a very incestuous role play. Yes, it is highly sexual play.
I think it is not as commonly known as this type of play would not be found in the professional Femdom community due to the sex. Most of the sites that describe role plays are disproportunatly represented by professional dominants here on the web. I do think Bdsm has evolved as a practice to the point that more out of the closet private non-professional relationships are being explored in forums like this. That being said, we have a long way to go.
Her thoughts about the actual practice were to not create a sissy boy but a boy completly dependant on her for nuturing . Our regression is based on a preteen boy. She has made outfits for me such as childish print jammies cut so that my special parts are exposed and available. To me that is plenty humiliating. There are certain elements of baby play involved including breast feedings and bottle play . Diapers and such were too much of a regression for her. Those practices did not appeal to her. Of course domestic discipline is a part of our play as well.
This is our take on the play. Certainly there are all kinds of variations. It is not always about feminization. Although all safe, sane and consentual play is interesting.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Anglo-Saxon name Hightower comes from when the family resided in or near the settlement of Heighton in the county of Sussex. The surname is thought to derive from one of several place names composed of the old English elements "heah" or "high" and "tun," meaning "enclosure or settlement." The surname Hightower belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
The surname Hightower was first found in Sussex where the first record of the name is John atte Heghetun who was mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex in 1296. Today Hightown is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside but originally part of Cheshire. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) However, other references list Hightown in what was formerly Lancashire.
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hightower has been recorded under many different variations, including Heighton, Highton, Huyton and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hightower research. Another 199 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1273 and 1279 are included under the topic Early Hightower History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Hightower or a variant listed above:
Hightower Settlers in United States in the 19th Century

PORTSMOUTH — C&J Bus Lines will offer free valet service to park travelers' cars while an expansion of the parking area puts even more of a squeeze on tight parking at the Portsmouth Transportation Center off Route 33.
"We'll keep this place rolling while it's happening," said Jim Jalbert, C&J's owner and president.
The work that starts Monday, Aug. 25, is a N.H. Department of Transportation project to increase the number of parking spaces by 256 through a reconfiguration of parking in the overflow lot and driveway, and construction of a new lot along Grafton Road at the southern entrance to Pease International Tradeport.
Operations and the schedules at the bus facility, which C&J leases from the state, will stay the same. But access to the driveway will be one-way only and access to the auxiliary lot will be restricted or prohibited while the restriping and reconfiguration of parking spaces is done.
"You can imagine the juggling act," Jalbert said.
C&J has used valet service to park cars on frequent occasions during peak vacation travel periods to help travelers with parking. According to Jalbert, the valet parking will be a free service through the duration of the project.
During the estimated 45 days of construction, the state said the transportation center will not be available to park and ride users, only bus patrons. The state said commuters should use other available park and ride lots in the area. Information on New Hampshire park and ride lots, including another lot in Portsmouth and lots in Hampton, Rochester and Dover, can be found at www.rideshare.nh.gov.
Jalbert said travelers shouldn't be put off by what they might view as limited access to the facility.
"I never want anybody to worry that we won't accommodate them," he said.

LONDON: Nigeria and Venezuela's cuts to their oil output have succeeded in lifting crude back above $60 and have the unspoken support of other Opec countries that are silently taking similar action, sources in Opec say.
By cutting output by 5% from October 1 Opec president Nigeria is sending a message that a bigger reduction could be on the way when ministers meet in December. By also trimming its output, Venezuela is reinforcing the message.
