I feel like aftercare for CG/l stuff is very multifaceted, and I can talk about many things that I've seen and also experience for myself, but in the current turbulent days of kink crackdowns and modern-day neo-Puritanism, I'm going to go over a particular one first:

Caregivers and littles/middles: PLEASE talk with your play partners if they are experiencing guilt right now with such a heavy public pursuit on ageplayers. Nowadays more than ever it seems that even other so-called kinksters are SO quick to horribly wrongfully associate those behaviors with pedophilia, and please identify if this is a guilt-bringer for you or yours and if you might need gentle support and aftercare for this unique issue, even if you participate in non-sexual ageplay.

That being said, I'll identify some other aftercare options and sessions here, both for the Caregiver and the little/middle. Most of these are fairly common types of aftercare for most scenes but I'll try and expand on them for CG/l specifically:

• Immediate care - If any immediate care (such as a post-Red signal debrief) or first aid, etc, is needed, tend to it first before any of the adrenaline wears off, if possible and if it would not affect your ability to do so. Take stock of both of your bodies and minds and look at anything first that is flashing a bright red in there.

• Before doing ANY of the following steps (and ideally before the entire scene - the majority of this should be in negotiation) make sure anything you're about to do for aftercare is wanted. Some of this is perfect for aftercare for some, just as much as some of it is complete anathema that will cause active issues. If you are the type who just wants to be left alone and needs nothing, THAT IS YOUR AFTERCARE too - don't neglect it or think you 'need' to do something more, just make sure ahead of time that works for your play partner too!

• Dynamic comfort - make sure your Caregiver understands that they did a good job, and they satisfied the things that you seek out ageplay for. Tell them about the good feelings that you experienced while in Their care, and why you experienced those feelings. From the other side of the slash, reinforce how much You love taking care of Your little, what about it makes you happy, and what that happiness does to Your emotions or mentality.

• Sensory comfort - Make sure you're physically comfortable, and assist your play partner if you can in making that comfort happen. Before the scene, identify textures or places that make you feel very physically comfortable.

• Food/drink comfort - Make or get food and drink that you like! Prep it in advance if you can. Try and focus on Y/your comfort foods or drinks, or ones that can replenish nutrients and give you what your body needs if your scene was physical or sexual at all. This can help mellow out any lingering adrenaline if any is present, or simply balance or restore your mood/body.

• Affirmation - I'm categorizing this differently from dynamic comfort, since it refers to particular topics: If funishment/punishment or bratting (or anything that could be construed as a neutral negative feeling but is actually part of the fulfillment of your kink) was involved during your scene, bring those feelings to neutral, even if you know that Y/your play partner rationally knows why those things were done. A simple "You did fantastic, of course, the punishment was just for fun, you're always so good to me" or "Thank You for letting me act out and putting me in my place, of course I'm not mad at you for real, but it felt so nice to be chastised" can really stick in the mind positively, both now and later as a thinking trap if/when you experience any mental drop.

And speaking of drop, your aftercare should extend past just immediately after your scene! Some people can experience physical or mental drop a few days after a scene, some can get them immediately, so exercise caution and talk about common experiences in the past to get ahead of these points, but also recognize that they can change from scene to scene, even in experienced players!!

To simplify and actually answer your question for real, this is what I particularly find myself needing during aftercare:
* To be cuddled up with, if possible, and reminded that I'm a good Mommy and that My s-type enjoyed their time with Me
* To be reminded that My little enjoyed everything and it fit their kinks well, even/especially if I was mean during the scene
* To have a lot of water and then a warm drink, like coffee or tea, and then if possible, some greasy food
* To just debrief about the scene a tiny bit and have us both point out things that we really enjoyed

I know this one was a book and you probably get some of the things in here already, but hopefully for those that didn't it gave some good context!
