ORIGINAL: Aneirin I notice on the other side when I am engaged in reading profiles that many refer to their dom as 'daddy'. This troubles me somewhat, as to who wants to call a dom daddy, is it the sub side, or the desire of the dominant party.With an idea of what may go on in a D/s relationship, is 'daddy' a good word to use in this present age? You know, I am going to bring over the stuff I said on the other Daddy thread, with some new addtions, as I think it works here too: I've never fully lived the dynamic. My first submissive was almost 20 years younger than I was and sometimes called me "Daddy". But she also called me "Sir" and "Master". I noted that the "Daddy" came out more when she was in need of nurturing and being made to feel safe or when she already felt very safe and loved by me. I've been involved with and have known submissives who do not like the whole idea at all. Not just the term of "Daddy" but the whole idea of it. Though they might be involved with an older man, the idea of addressing him as "Daddy" or anything remotely like that squicked them bigtime. Of course, most of their relationships weren't built on any kind of Daddy/little girl foundation. Of the ones that were, I found it a bit ironic and amusing that, despite the underlying "Daddy/little" girl foundation, they would no more call him "Daddy" than fly to the moon. But that was an observation, not a judgement. They had to go with what was comfortable for them. As I noted earlier, I have been called "Daddy" and yes, it does push certain buttons. Like wenchie, I am sometimes a sick, twisted, individual. For me, it is not always the age buttons that are pushed although at times, a certain level of age is hit and played with. While I love the nurturing and guiding aspects of a "Daddy", I'd be lying if I didn't say that the darker elements attract me at times also. I'd also note that I wouldn't pamper a "little girl" any more than a submissive who was not into "Daddy/little girl". In my mind, this is still an adult woman...my submissive...and given that I have raised 2 ums already, I have no desire to raise an adult. I noted above that the age thing has sometimes been approached...and it has, during play. Never outside the play arena, though. As I said, this is an adult woman I am with and I would expect her to behave as such. In short, and at risk of repeating myself, like an adult submissive woman who happens to approach D/s from the normal perspective with the added fillip of "Daddy/little girl". As to whether it is the proper word to use in "today's day and age", like others I have also observed it used between couples who I am quite sure were not into D/s (though you never know, right? ~g~). And given that I have heard my daughters and sometimes their friends refer to their boyfriends to their face...lovingly of course (~rolls my eyes~)...as "bastard", I think I'd almost prefer to hear them use "Daddy".
