What is DDLG?

DDLG is a subcategory of BDSM that revolves around a nurturing and caring relationship between a dominant partner (often referred to as “Daddy”) and a submissive partner (often referred to as “little”). The dynamic involves the Daddy taking on a paternal role, providing guidance, care, and discipline(not really in my case) to the little. The little, in turn, seeks validation and affection from their Daddy and may take on a childlike persona [1].

Little space:

The little may enter a childlike state of mind, engaging in activities that they enjoyed as a child and seeking validation and affection from their Daddy.

What is a Daddy Dom?

A Daddy Dom is a type of dominant partner who takes on a nurturing and caretaking role towards their submissive partner. This can include providing emotional support, guidance, and structure, as well as setting rules and boundaries for the submissive partner to follow. Contrary to what the name might suggest, being a Daddy Dom has nothing to do with actual fatherhood or age. It’s a term that can be applied to any dominant partner who embodies these nurturing and caretaking qualities towards their submissive partner.

How does a Daddy Dom differ from other dominant-submissive dynamics

While there are many different types of dominant-submissive dynamics in BDSM, the Daddy Dom dynamic is unique in its emphasis on nurturing and caretaking. Unlike other dominants who may be more focused on power and control, Daddy Doms prioritize the emotional and mental well-being of their submissive partner. In a Daddy Dom-little girl (DDLG) dynamic, the submissive partner may take on a childlike role, while the Daddy Dom takes on a parental role. This can include engaging in age play, such as coloring or watching cartoons together, and using pet names like “Daddy” and “little one.” It’s important to note that DDLG and Daddy Dom dynamics are not for everyone and should only be entered into with the full and informed consent of all parties involved.[2]
