If you found your age reversing how much would you worry about it?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) June 27th, 2011

Say you were on vacation and you found some strange ornate coin, medallion, etc. You bring it home as a souvenir. After a month or two you noticed you are getting younger, not very fast but quick enough for you to tell. If you had wrinkles they were fading, hair coming back to bald or thin spots, if you just started shaving, you found your beard not growing back, or your junk didn’t pop anymore, or your period stopped, etc. Would you worry about how severe the age reversal would be, when or if it would stop? Would you worry about becoming an infant again? What if you could not find the coin/medallion, would you figure that was the key? Would you go to your physician to be tested, or see if science or medicine could stop the backward slide?

Well, I could live with a bit of age reversal. I don’t want to go through the teenage shit again though! And my childhood was a bit of a trial at times. I’ll go back to my thirties and then stop. I am not sure what you mean about what if I couldn’t find the medallion? I would definitely not want the reversing of my age to continue like Benjamin Button. No way. Think I would rather stay as I am.

Wouldn’t everyone worry? It’s definitely not a natural phenomenon, so I think it would be bizarre not to worry.

@ANef_is_Enuf Maybe someone will think it would reverse back 10, 12, 20 years then wear off and they would start aging again. ;-P

@Hypocrisy_Central I’m not saying it couldn’t have its perks. I just assume anyone would be at least a little worried. It’s definitely not supposed to happen that way! :)

I wouldn’t worry at all until puberty in reverse hit.

I’d look forward immensely to being nineteen again. Young dumb & full of cum. Single, carefree & being able to hump whichever arse took my fancy….whoo-hoo!! ;¬}

I think it would be really weird when my body looked younger than my children’s bodies.

Does this assume that mental age is reversing along with physical age? Because there’s no point in being younger if I don’t keep my knowledge.

The mind stays intact for a long time but if one goes back too far, you would have to expect some knowledge loss.

I wouldn’t mind going back to being college-aged, but once reverse puberty kicked in, that would be a worry.
