Daddy vs dom?

[el****]

What's the difference between LG and DG? I'm being genuine.

[KG****]

Daddy has a variety of meanings depending on a number of variables. Dom is kink dependent on what it entails, but has a consistent meaning of being an authority figure in the power dynamic.

You want the truth? Different strokes for different folks.
...
I don't call myself Master because only my sub can determine that.
I don't call myself a Dom because My style is more nurturing than ***ful.
I don't call myself many things.
But I am an actual Dad and I enjoy being called Daddy. Simple truths.

I don't know the term DG, but LG is someone that has "Little" tendencies. Not a Little myself, so not sure what all is involved.

The term "Dom" is shorthand for Dominant. A "Daddy" is actually a Daddy Dom.

The difference is not necessarily in the names, as both are Dominants.

"Dom" is mostly an umbrella term. It can mean many different things, as there are many different types of Doms.

A Daddy is a form of Dominant. Hence the Honorific "Daddy Dominant", or the prefix "DD" in DD/lg.

So, the main difference is that "Dom" is all-encompassing. A "Daddy" is a subset of Dominant, or "Dom".

... Or... A Daddy could be another expression for a Father or Father figure. Take my name, for instance. I don't subscribe to the DD/LG relationship as a standard of practice, in normal fetish terminology. I am actually a father of two wonderfully intelligent *** who call me Daddy. And as it happens, in several past relationships my significant other has referred to me as Daddy as a form of affection. I, in turn, have referred to them as my girly or my little one, as a form of affection. In this sense, my name was never about roleplay nor scenarios.
..... I know my opinion is different from others and that's alright.

Though you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, on this particular subject, that is not a Daddy.

Being called "Daddy" as an affectionate pet name is very, very different from being called Daddy as an Honorific in a DD/lg dynamic.

If there is no specific dynamic in place, and you choose to use "Daddy" and "little one" as affectionate pet names, or any other form of Honorific as a pet name outside a dynamic, does not make you a "Daddy" in the actual sense of a BDSM dynamic. It's a pet name.

Though you may see yourself as a "Daddy", and your significant others may see you as such, unless there is a dynamic in place, you are not a Daddy in the factual sense of the Honorific in the BDSM community.

A lot of people add or remove things they don't like in the community to make it more acceptable to them or to their lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with doing something that makes you happy or makes your relationship happier or stronger. That doesn't mean you can change the meaning behind an Honorific to fit your relationship just because you want to be called a Daddy.

Being in a DD/lg or other dynamic is very different than being a Dominant person in a relationship.

All true Daddy's are Doms. Not all Doms can be Daddy's. And being called "Daddy" affectionately does not make you a Daddy.

Daddy or affection dom

For real… get with the accepted terms or get out of the pool. So tired of everybody wanting to change things to their way. BDSM, D/s, kink lifestylers use standard terms so people understand. Idgaf if you want to think of Daddy as an honorific. It’s a pet name. There’s too much confusion for newbies as it is. Don’t make it worse. Daddy is a nickname. It doesn’t have a place as a specific role. Why? Because then you get into daddy vs. sugar daddy vs. the master you sometimes get to call daddy vs. the sadistic Dom who gets fired up whipping your a** because you just tried to call him daddy. It’s too nonspecific to be used as a role. It’s a nickname.

[Pr****]

Yes I agree people just use it as a name however, Being a Babygirl, I look for DaddyDoms because they tend to be a little more gentle and playful. I choose Experienced DaddyDoms because they're supposed to understand all of the other aspects of caring for a Little, it's not just about the sex folks!

[Pa****]

Although I agree with Daddy being a nickname sometimes there is emotions that are involved. And the missing affection and firmness that a father figure provides and some fantasies of being with their father. Not saying that may be the case Daddy being a nickname is definitely something that is used. But there are some other psychological pieces that go with it

[Pl****]

I'm def BOTH and if you have to question it, you need to work on it & adjust to what she/is likes than wreck their FCUKN world. You're welcome 😂

Personally, from the experience, I’ve regarding this topic I would say that there are differences yes and I would not say it’s just a nickname. Everybody has their own view on that and their own opinion however, my perception and perspective on that would be the following. Daddy doms Are a different type of dominant in my opinion
They are more gentle they are more playful. They are also firm as well when they need to be they are more emotionally and physically engaged in there dynamic with there baby girl or little to there brat honestly for the experience I’ve had this what I have seen it’s different for everyone They are more engaged with their baby girls and their little. They are more engaged in the aftercare. They are more into that dynamic. Honestly

I’d also say when it comes to daddy doms
The term daddy is taken in regards to something special you don’t just call anyone daddy that is earned and there is a emotional and physical connection with that individual honestly you won’t end up calling just anyone daddy I’d say
Also there are sick f**ks out there that will take advantage of that and use to manipulate you or even worse so be careful who you give the privilege to be called daddy or become your daddy
I strongly believe woman grow so much more evolve and see things more in a daddy dom dynamic that’s my thought on that you know

[br****]

Another perspective I should have mentioned on this as well there are individuals you end up crossing patch with where it’s just naturally happens with the term daddy you could find your self talking to a dominant or a daddy who doesn’t even know they are one or is curious to see if they are into that or not and you talk for a little bit you it just naturally happens honstly or let’s say you and and a individual are talking they are a dominant they want to see if your truly a submissive or baby girl so they test the waters out to see if you are or arnt sometimes even in the testing the waters aspect it can naturally just happen of it does may happen that a good sign though you never want to feel pushed or pressured to calling someone daddy it should just flow naturally you know for you and them

I really think individual results vary here, on both sides. If mine needs me to be one thing more than the other, then that's exactly what I am. I am absolutely both, I just lean into whichever hat is needed more that day, and if you're doing both, then it's really the same thing.

That's probably the worst explanation, but, it's how I've seen it from experience. Lol.

[Deleted Member]

I can take either role, the dynamic in the relationship sets the tone. I've met folk who wanted a Daddy but we ended up in more of a master/slave scenario. My Daddy hat allows me to be kind and nurturing whereas being Sir or Master allows me to be emotionally detached. I'm able to discipline as both, Daddy just wants you to grow and learn, Sir is just mean and likes the taste of tears
