Different types of little/what do doms/CGs think?

[Deleted Member]

I’ve been thinking about the meaning behind the term little as of late. As a little myself I’ve noticed the profiles of other littles, many of which seem to have their own take on what being a little means. Needless to say, it’s clear there are many different types of littles and I actually believe the term “little” covers an extremely large number of roles. My real question is for the Doms/CG’s. What do you think of when you hear that someone is a “little”? What are the qualities/other things that immediately come to your mind and what do you expect?

For me, DDLG is 90% non-sexual. I enjoy the nurturing caregiver role. Praise, encouragement, loyalty etc tempered with some discipline, say for example an over-the-knee spanking if it’s called for.
I’m guess some people use the term little to simply describe child-like, but ultimately they also want sexual intimacy. For me, that’s a tricky one, as it doesn’t always feel right. Bratty middle, for example, often invites an element of sex play.
I guess “little” to me is perhaps different to what other Daddies might perceive.
Interested to see what others think?

Id agree with Peter. For my wife and I, we have a DDLG relationship. But its not about age play. Its about her having a caring nurturing loving partner. Who will do some discipline and kink when required. Id class her more of a middle. Imho a true little is the age player who uses pacifiers and dresses as such. Not something im interested in at all. I guess the term DDLG maybe incorrect for the kind of caregiver dynamic being described.

For me the first I think about a little is: she need someone controlling her and her life! Attention, lot of hugs, love caring her personality needs are a big part. I only can share my experience with female littles so the most frequent little need controlling, education and training, strict rules, recognition and praise with love, trust and respect. That’s the way to build a save relationship with a little for me.

I think of little as somebody that regresses to a younger age at certain points, times or from triggers.

In general, I believe most littles want to just be protected and cared for and to let go. The variety of what a little is, is based on the person. From age play to just needing their lives taken over and being held and wanted.
I'm not a little, I'm a Dommy Mommy, and I would expect any little, just as in any other kink or fetish type of submissive to explain to me what they would need and expect from their Mommy/Daddy and if that would fit.

I consider myself a middle because of my interests and what not. On the brattier side as well. The draw for me is, for lack of a better term, the escape of adult life. In addition to the kink aspect of having the Daddy (or insert caregiver role) providing boundaries in and out of bedroom and discipline as needed. I am fortunate enough to be in a profession where it can be indulged in responsibly, while still being an adult.

This whole thing is a wide spectrum. I am a sub, not like a lot of other subs. It’s almost how we get presented anything in an narrow definition, or I don’t know if big and little have any representation. In D/s porn they try and pull everything that’s even loosely associated with Bdsm. Which also misleads people into thinking I know how you like being treated. I say go to your notes app write what applies
to you, your personal definition. Make sure whoever you play with understand it. I got one more lose tangent, lady’s I know that guys were bad on these sites. I took a big step and used sissy in my user name on a site with my pic. I was so proud of that step. Then I got swarmed with males wanting to dom me. I met my goddess, we talked about comfort, boundaries, limit, attitudes, and respect. Which was the most  important thing. 🤐

This can take many forms sexual and non sexual. As a Daddy this is all about caring, patience, nurturing and understanding your lil.

For me it’s mostly about taking care of the little, making her feel safe, protected and loved. This is often also accompanied by a kink/sex element, I’ve had littles that like to please, similar to a sub that performs to get her dopamine hit of “Good girl”. But the main overall energetic connection is definitely one of feeling safe, loved and protected. That doesn’t always need to involve sex.

I think as a Daddy it’s important to engage and ask questions about what being a little means to them. Learn about their needs, their likes, their curiosities… keeping in mind the whole time and understanding that there will often be a lot of shyness to overcome. Ask lots of questions and let them know it’s okay for them to ask a lot of questions as well.
