I would like to approach this from a slightly different angle. It seems to me that the main issue here is not whether the idea of Daddy/girl play is right or wrong, rather the issue is: Will he respond to your statement of needs by then deciding that you are sick and therefore in need of professional help? It is impossible to know this answer with certainty, but I have some confidence that he would not respond that way. I think just because somebody is a professional in the field of psychology, it does not mean that they consider themselves "above" the people for whom they are expected to care. I believe many psychologists enter the field because of a need to confront or accept their own perceptions of their own psychological "problems" (I put that in quotes because I tend not to see problems as problems in many cases) and deal with them first before going on to help others. I could be wrong about this. But if I am not wrong, then it seems likely that a good psychologist should be less inclined to judge others simply by recognizing their own "flaws" as well. I addition, I feel I must point out that you and he are already in a sadomasochistic relationship (I am using that term because it is the term found in the DSM-IV). This should be considered a "condition" by the criteria of modern psychology, at least until they decide to change the DSM codes again. With this in mind, clearly he has already accepted the fact that both of you are currently enjoying and unabashedly continuing to enjoy a "deviant" lifestyle. I expect that he would not be quick to judge.
