I just skimmed through some of these and I can see that I may have to post those text files to which I alluded, on the other thread ... In my relationship, I am not her father. I am, I guess, to a certain extent, a "father figure". Hopefully, she sees me as wise, caring, loving, giving, warm, protective, and nurturing. With all of those things, she also needs to see me as just, respectable (and respectful), a mentor, a teacher, a disciplinarian, exacting, and dutiful. These synonyms, really, just scratch the surface but, I need to reiterate: IN MY CASE, it DOES NOT have anything to do with "age play" or my "replacing her father". I am not sure because I have not delved deeply into it but, perhaps because of our need to "label" just about everything, the term came into being to offset us from the "Old Guard Dominants" or "Gorean Masters", who are seen as more stern or "emotionally detached" from their submissives (That's just conjecture, on my part). As with the lifestyle, in general; I believe that there's 8 million ways that we practice the principles. No one has "written the book". What works for me and my little one, certainly, will NOT work for EVERYONE else (but, it might work for a few). I would LOVE to see a regular discussion group get going on this subject! Peace and comfort, Michael
