Rejuvenation

I would like to be little again with the same mind that I have now. But I would not want a bed time be allowed to watch what I wanted and not have to age so I wouldn't have to go back to School again.

Like probably everyone on this board, if some medical miracle allowd adults the chance to de-age themselves and become children again I would take advantage of it in a heartbeat no matter how dangerous it was. While I generally roleplay and identify as a kid in the 9-13 age, if through some miracle of science I could actually go back to being a kid, I would choose to make a thourough go of things and revert to age 5. I don't particularly want to go through pre-school or potty training again (sorry ABDLs) but I do want to give myself the chance to undo the mistakes that made me such a neurotic, unhappy, and unsuccessful adult. That would require redoing my entire grade school career, I think. This time I would try to be popular and athletic rather than smart.

Also, I could lose my virginity early rather than late.

No thanks.

HOW OLD ARE YOU???

Would I go back in time, NOT ON YOUR LIFE

There are other threads asking this same question as well as would you like to be the opposite sex for a while, and all I can say I every phase of my life has had its high points and its hardships. There are too many things I love about my life to want to go back to earlier times when I did not have what I have now. Things I love that I would not want to give up in order to return to earlier times are my family, my experiences, my intellectual acumen and my possessions.

Agree with @SwitchableSusie and @DrZ Lots of ups and down through life - but I've "been there and done that" and am happy with where I am today - looking forward to tomorrow!

I agree.

As the queen cynic and pessimist, I'm not so sure I am looking forward to tomorrow and with the manner in which society is declining, I am VERY HAPPY I am 50, NOT 20.

No kidding. While it would be nice to be 20, I'm happy where I am at this time. Only go forward,never look back.

If one is not into age play or even being an adult baby, rejuvenation is probably not of any interest. Being an adult who wants to be a much younger age and plays this for pleasure it does make sense.

One can hope and wish for that which they enjoy. Who am I to burst their dreams.

Oh, I do not wish to go back except to maybe to the beginning of our marriage. Where we could possibly have a redo with my sub saying he needed me to be more in control. Then I could start being a Miss sooner. But I wouldn't have the internet as an informational source. Going to the library would be very embarrassing.

Doubt the decline in society will affect me in my lifetime. At the young age of fifty - you certainly could see some radical change. I worry for our kids.

@SwitchableSusie

I agree.

What do you see as the decline in our society?

The regressive left is undoing many the rights and freedoms the liberals of the 1960s to 1970s got for us.

Rather than having to type out all what is wrong today, do a quick wikipedia search for the following:

snowflakes--these people think they are wonderful and unique when most of them are worthless people who are carbon copies of one another. In reality, they couldn't tolerate each other of they were different.

People creating "safe spaces" where freedom of speech and free exchange of ideas should reign. That includes colleges and social forums where censorship is used to squelch ideas that some might disagree with or find "offensive" or "upsetting."

feminazis--feminists already by law have what Gloria Steinem and Betty Freidan wanted women to have and now women just complain their lives aren't perfect and criticize men for their own shortcomings

entitled millennials with perceived social injustices because they have not achieved what they think should be given to them on a silver platter

people who believe in social equality and equal outcomes that are totally undeserved because they lacked the genuine effort to achieve such goals

Political and governmental idiots in elected positions elected by idiots. I'm not going to name names here but they are on both sides of the aisle and you already know who they are because they are in the news.

The ERROR of egalitarianism. So sorry but everyone is NOT equal nor do they deserve to be treated as such. People have to be smart and earn a better station in life. If you don't put forth the effort, you rightly get left behind.

THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG of what is wrong with society and causing it to decline.

@SwitchableSusie: I agree with much of what you've said, still I think our society, at least Western society is better off today than 40-50 years ago.

Hmm...at 19, I was a closed minded, undereducated, but still know-it-all asshole. The military changed that to a small degree, but still at 23, I had few options other than industrial labor jobs in the declining(Didn't see it coming yet) Northern California timber industry. The thing that actually sent me to college was not thinking I could actually get a career path that I was passionate about, or could actually allow me to become financially independent. No, I had no vision of that ever happening. Instead, I had the brilliant idea for a new power source and I set about building a scale model of it. But no mater what precision I used for the construction, it never worked. Finally I started doing some research and I found out just how ignorant I was. The "original Idea" that I had was as old as the first mechanical machines and the reason an over balanced wheel can't work is because the First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another; The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that an isolated system will move towards a state of disorder. Additionally, the more energy is transformed, the more it is wasted. A perpetual motion machine would have energy that is never wasted and never moved towards a disordered state.

I had spent a lot of time and resources trying to make something that was impossible. I was less than humble, I was humiliated at myself! That sent me to college...and it was a long slog, because I had to support myself. Unlike my daughter, who turned down a scholarship to Stanford because it was too close to home and instead took a proffered $50,000 scholarship halfway across the country, I didn't even qualify for one of the new federal grants to retrain people from the declining timber industry because I hadn't worked long enough to qualify.

Go back in time and go through all of that again? Don't make me laugh? No...don't make me start spitting out molar dust again! No amount of pussy is worth going through that again and I did have some very sweet young women, as an agreeable break in the routine of the day.

I can't believe it, you were trying to make a perpetual motion machine! That's completely hilarious!

In the old days when you patented ANYTHING, you had to have a prototype for the patent office to issue a patent, but in recent years the ONLY way they will issue a patent on a perpetual motion machine is for the applicant to submit a working model of the device. There are extremely few things they will reject right off the bat and those are called "impossibility rejections" because they disobey laws of physics, are not novel, have been previously published or are totally outlandish devices or claims. My husband has had to nip some of these applications in the bud when people came to him for funding and advice.

Yes, my sensual friend, I was indeed one of those guys. My model was going to be the "proof of concept." I (yes it is ok to laugh at me, Susie, because I told this tale in a self deprecating way) was actually planning on building the real thing when I got the model to work. 😜

How glad I am that those days are far behind me. Some of the women are my fondest memories. 😕

Hi Switchable, On the topic of "Impossibility Rejections" check out Salvatore Cezar Sais. I came across him a few months ago. He was a professor at Case Tech for a while. He filed for a number of patents that are outright bizarre and beyond anything I've ever heard of other than in science fiction. The crazy thing is that our military has requested that the patents be issued. Evidently there must be a kernel of reality to these claims....

Yes on the rejuvenation point of view, although I would like to be back as a 10-18 month old baby/toddler as these where the best times in my childhood, before the years of torture at the hands of multiple bullies started.

I would like to be a baby and start all over again as I have touched on in previous replies, however I would like to keep my adult memories and thoughts although not the PTSD and other problems in which I suffer from nowerdays.
