ORIGINAL: dixiedumpling I'm glad this has been posted. It's an idea that has moseyed around in my mind for the last few weeks. I find the whole idea of calling a Dom "Daddy" to be odd at best. I wouldn't want my Daddy to take me to bed. The whole idea makes me uncomfortable. I can certainly understand the desire for a father figure if one was lacking in your childhood. Girl children get their sense of self-worth from how their fathers view them. A loving, nurturing relationship between a daughter and father is essential. Men just don't understand the impact their absence makes on their children. I don't equate what goes on in a BDSM session with what I'd want in a daughter-Daddy relationship. "Daddy" in this context is not quite the same as "Father", dixie. At least not according to my understanding of it. Athough to some it may be. As I understand it, it's more of an authority figure, the one who administers the love and/or the punishment. It has every bit of the love and respect, but none of the social attachments of "Father". When I ask one of my males, "Who's your Daddy?" They don't hesitate and stutter their father's name, lol. They respond "You are, Mistress"
