What age does lift and carry start on average
 

For me, it stated at 4. Did it start the for you earlier, by then, or later?

For me it started around 3 or 4 I guess. It's like it's always been there.

I'm guessing by your name that you like to be lifted. I don't. I would see women being lifted on TV and I wanted to be able to lift them, too. When I was in high school, the cheerleaders got me into seeing girls lifting girls. I never wanted to be the liftee. That was always a feminine role in my mind so the idea of being treated like I'm feminine was always repulsive to me. Over the last 25 years of looking at L&C online my reaction to F/M has dulled considerably. It still doesn't do anything for me but "repulsed" is way too strong to describe my current reaction.

I point all that out because at the age of 4 it's pretty normal to be carried so I could see a liftee liking it and wanting it to continue. For me I was already repulsed by the idea of being lifted and resisted my parents when they tried to lift me. That seems a bit more severe to me.

I also had a taboo against females lifting me when I was a boy. You and I might differ in that my taboo vanished, and I enjoyed it when larger or older girls lifted and carried me against my will. I don't mind F/M lifting. I just much prefer F/F lifting like I prefer steak to meatloaf.

Lift and Carry by a maternal figure is sexy
 

Being carried by a pretty lady, especially if she sings while doing it is very sexy for me. I’ve thought that since 4; a pretty maternal woman front lifting me while singing and giving gestures of affection is one of the sexiest things a woman can do. It started with my mom, and then I wanted other pretty women to do it.:D

For me, it was when I was around 7 years old. I saw a large girl in my class lift her red-headed friend and carry her across the classroom. I had a soft spot for the redhead, and to see her easily carried had an effect on me that has stuck around for nearly 50 years. :-)

See? You call it maternal. I'm not interested in a mommy. I rejected being babied when I was 3-4 years old. I found it insulting to be the recipient and embarrassing to be seen that way.

The part about seeing carry scenes on TV is also about being a grown-up man. It was like "Wow, men can carry women around like they're kids. I can't wait until I'm a grown-up so I can carry grown-up women like that."

I was already viewing carrying as something more than it actually is and I really don't know why I was so focused on it.

I noticed a fad or a trend among some Millennial guys and Zoomer guys. They like material with GILFs in it, and some of them even seem to dig old crones. I like to see larger older women carry smaller younger women, especially if the former are authority figures like prison matrons. I don't want to see scenes from nursing homes, though!

Young Men Like Dating “Mommies”
 

Zoomer men like dating older women. Here’s a hypothetical: His mom’s best friend for instance- she’s fawned over him since he was little. He’s had a crush on her, he fantasizes about ways to get close. If she’s single, during the guys adulthood, he might try to date her. I personally find that fun and amusing.:)
