i shall respond to all those concerns in this important guide to DDLG, in addition to handling the DDLG guidelines and duties.

As a outcome, i really hope to get rid of the stigma surrounding this kink while presenting all you ever desired to find out about DDLG.

What Does DDLG Stand for?

DDLG is an acronym that is short for Daddy Dom, Little Girl. This term can be used within the BDSM and kink community to describe one among the feasible relationships underneath the umbrella of CGL or Care Giver, Little relationship in addition to age-play.

What is DDLG?

Two Types for the DDLG Relationship

There are a couple of kinds of Daddy Dom, Little Girl age-play relationships, each along with their very own particular guidelines. However, much like any kind of role-playing relationship, both lovers have been in control for the situation and lines are blurred.

Here will be the two primary kinds of DDLG play:

Age-Play DDLG

During age-play, the tiny chooses which age they desire to be and certainly will have fun with the submissive or trade places using the principal. This form of DDLG is many constantly intimate in nature.

Age-Regression DDLG

In this kind of DDLG role-playing, the submissive regresses to a chosen age. Usually, age is chosen to coincide with a negative upbringing or youth event in an effort to experience love and good interactions from their Daddy. This form of DDLG relationship is obviously non-sexual in nature.

Statistics on DDLG and Age Regression Play (and Progression)

DDLG, or “Daddy Dom Little Girl,” is a form of roleplay very often includes components of age regression.

A research from The Journal of Sex Research provides insights into this type of roleplay situation:

Age Regression Play (age.g., guardian-child):

• As the “Top”: This relates to the principal part, usually the guardian or caregiver, and comprises 14.60percent of individuals.

DDLG usually involves making use of “age-play” and “age regression” functions. However, these terms have actually various definitions:

• Age-play: This is a type of roleplay where individuals operate out a particular age, either for activity or intimate reasons. It does not involve genuine emotions to be a various age it is rather a as a type of play or dream.
• Age regression: a far more profound experience, age regression is both a biological and emotional sensation where individuals mentally and emotionally revert to a specific age. It usually emerges from previous traumatization or perhaps is used as a healing device. Those experiencing age regression truly feel they’ve reverted to a more youthful age. Typically, age regression isn’t intimate. However, some “littles” within the DDLG community might include a intimate aspect in their regression.

Playing older or more youthful (age play): What is hottest?

Age play, where individuals perform more youthful, is a many more popular than playing elder.

In other terms DDLG is really so popular that nearly 54% have actually involved inside it in certain form or kind.

However, significantly less than 10% have actually involved in age development play. In other terms, playing older.

What Does the Dom Daddy Get Out for the DDLG Relationship?

Just once the submissive (or small) often regresses in age in an effort to replay painful, childhood experiences in a good and loving method, the principal (Daddy) are doing similar. For example, the principal within the situation might have had extremely terrible moms and dads. Therefore, through DDLG role-playing, he could be able to moms and dad and look after their small in the way he desired as a kid.

This may include control, real love, attention and spoiling their small.

Additionally, in some instances, the principal enjoys the aesthetic of innocence, meaning, what sort of submissive dresses. For instance, some guys such as the appearance of girly dresses with small plants, lacey, ankle socks and Mary-Jane footwear along side adorable locks bows and white, cotton panties. However, they certainly not, are drawn to kids. Rather, these are typically switched on by the appearance of purity.

Which, in addition, is not any different than being switched on by child doll underwear, garter belts or college woman costumes.

Therefore, each Daddy, as someone, has their own unique real and psychological advantages from this kind of role-playing.

Are There Types of Caregiver Relationships Other Than the DDLG Relationship?

Even though we have been talking specifically to the DDLG relationship in this essay, I’d like to quickly deal with other forms of CGL relationships, as perhaps not to be therefore gender-specific and then leave anyone out. According to the  internet site, DDLG Playground:

“This can be called to as ageplay, and goes in conjunction because of the ABDL community, that is an acronym for ‘Adult Baby Diaper Lover’.

There are numerous variants of DD/LG relationships that swap genders and functions consequently, and so they each have actually unique acronyms too!

Below are {sic} a list of different takes of the classic DD/LG relationship:”

• MDLG: Mommy Dom Little Girl
• MDLB: Mommy Dom Little Boy
• DDLB: Daddy Dom Little Boy
• TDLB: Trans Daddy Little Boy
• TDLG Trans Daddy Little Girl
• TMLG: Trans Mommy Little Girl
• TMLB: Trans Mommy Little Boy
• CGL: Generic term for any Caregiver & Little relationship

Why Are The DDLG Relationship and Other CGL Relationships Misunderstood?

When people hear about DDLG and other CGL relationships, their minds usually go to a dark and icky place. And it is because of these misconceptions that those within this role-playing community may find it difficult to share this with friends and family, thus, keeping it their deep, dark secret. But that is why people, like myself, write articles like this in order to educate the public and dispel those myths.

Besides, who are we to yuck someone else’s yum? Role-playing can be a blast and can bring partners closer together, as well as adding a spark to their relationship that most of us never get to experience. So, please read on and learn about the myths surrounding the DDLG relationship.

Common Misconceptions of the DDLG Relationship

Here are just some of the common misconceptions when it comes to any type of CGL role-playing, including the DDLG relationship.

As it happens, when I mentioned writing this article to my social media friends, I received all sorts of comments from people who were uninformed on this subject and wrongfully misjudged it. Therefore, it shows that a majority of people, myself included, have misconceptions about this type of kink relationship.

Pedophilia:

Pedophilia is a mental illness in which an adult is sexually attracted to children. However, a DDLG or other CGL relationship does not involve children. Rather, these are consenting adults role-playing as children. Therefore, there is a huge difference between pedophilia and a CGL role-playing relationship. Plus, in age-regression, there isn’t any sex involved.

All of which disputes the myth that those who are in a DDLG relationship are pedophiles.

Incest:

Incest is sexual contact between any blood relative. In the case of CGL relationships, it’s not considered incest, as the adults whom are role playing are not relatives. Additionally, the terms Mommy and Daddy simply signify a beloved authority figure and not an actual parent.

I mean, who hasn’t heard the term “Big Daddy” or used the word Daddy during sex? It doesn’t refer to father, it’s just an endearing term representing a beloved authority figure. Besides, it is NOT Daddy Dom, Little Daughter, now, is it?

Therefore, DDLG is not incest in any way, shape or form.

Someone Playing DDLG Must Have Mommy and Daddy Issues:

Generally, in most cases of DDLG and other CGL relationships, it’s simply 2 consenting adults who are role-playing in a way that they enjoy.

However, in age regression play, yes, the act of the submissive reverting to a childhood state, can be a way of working through childhood trauma, in a safe and loving atmosphere. Therefore, this misconception is only partially correct.

People Who Are in DDLG Relationships Are Mentally Ill

Every human being has either a dominant or submissive side. Some of us have a little bit of both. These personality traits are played out in our everyday lives. And yes, in intimate scenarios too. Some people do so by role-playing via various characters; some going as far as BDSM and CGL role-playing.

Therefore, just because one may enjoy playing a dominant role or be a submissive, doesn’t mean they are mentally ill. It is simply a way to work through the daily frustrations in life with someone you love and trust, while doing so in an exciting and theatrical way.

And to be honest, I find that mentally healthy!

The DDLG Relationship

“DDLG relationships involve the submissive age-regressing to a younger and more child-like state of mind, while giving up some degree of control, and allowing themselves to be “taken care of” by their dominant partner.”

This quote from DDLG Playground sums up the submissive side of the relationship. However, the dynamic of the relationship, as a whole, can vary according to the players’ own desires.

For example, the little in the DDLG relationship may also agree to punishments, may intentionally have tantrums, acting like a spoiled child, in order to receive the punishments. And those punishments can range from having a toy taken away to spankings or even sexual punishments like withholding of orgasm.

Furthermore, the Daddy in the DDLG relationship is the caregiver. He can care for his little, feeding, clothing and providing toys and entertainment as well as doling out punishments for misbehaviors such as not picking up toys, dressing inappropriately or having tantrums.

Finally, as I mentioned earlier, these are two consenting adults, role-playing a dominant and submissive relationship. As such, they are free to create any scenarios they choose. And that, is the beauty of the DDLG relationship as well as that of other CGL relationships.

What Do You Want from a DDGL Relationship?

Aside from simple fantasy, role-playing, some may be looking for ways to write over childhood traumas by age regression play. Or do so by taking on the role of the caregiver they never had. Further, maybe someone is attracted to the thought of being cared for, spoiled or even disciplined. Finally, some may find the aesthetic of youth to be arousing, without actually being attracted to children.

After all, how many school girl costumes and baby doll style lingerie do you see on adult product websites? Yes, it’s an attraction some people have.

Personally, I find the thought of escaping to childhood – leaving all adult responsibilities behind – intriguing! Having someone care for me entirely while I color, play games and nap among piles of fluffy pillows, soft blankets and piles of squishy, plush toys? Yes, please.

So, no matter what it is you are looking for in a DDLG relationship, or any other CGL relationship, you are free to make your own DDLG rules and scenarios with your partner. It’s your play to write and your desires to fulfill.

From DDLG Playground:

“Since age regression involves fully-consenting adults participating in youthful or child-like acts for innocent fun, this also makes it even more important to protect ACTUAL children from getting mixed up with this community! Adult sexual predators may target this specific community because of this reason, and prey on actual children who have mistakenly associated themselves with an adult kink! It is absolutely critical to keep minors out of kink! #NMIK (No Minors In Kink!).”

So, if you’ve had the misconception that people who are a part of the BDSM and kink community are simply perverts or people with mental illness, the above quote from the DDLG Playground, speaks volumes.

People who enjoy this type of role-playing are fully aware of the bad people out there that use this as an excuse to play out sick fantasies with actual minors. That is why they stick together and are careful of who is brought into their circle.

Between You and Your Daddy Dom

When you decide to go into a DDLG relationship with a partner, it is your picture to paint. Together, you and your partner decide how your role-playing sessions will go. For example, will Daddy always be the dominant or will you switch roles? Will your relationship involve sex or will it be age regression play only?

Most importantly, in seeking a DDLG relationship partner, be sure and look for a Daddy that possesses the adult attributes you seek specifically; like their job, responsibilities, ambitions, life-goals etc. Similarly, as a caregiver, you’ll want to look for the attributes you seek in a little. That way, you’ll ensure the dynamic you are looking for in a CGL relationship.

Question Examples:

Here are some questions and topics to discuss with your role-playing partner:

1. Do you want to mix romance and sex, or do you want to keep it as a caring play?
2. How often do you want to play?
3. Do you want to play in public?
4. Are there any special events/ moods/ settings that make you enter Little Space?
5. Will you be a little brat or will you behave yourself?
6. Are you going to submit to your Daddy Dom?
7. How do you imagine your ideal Daddy Dom?
8. Are you willing to switch roles?
9. Have you chosen age regression or are you open to any age-play?
10. Are you willing to set and abide by ground rules?

Sex or No Sex

The most important decision you’ll be making when it comes to your DDLG rules and relationship is whether it will be about sex, or not. As mentioned above, simple age-play and role-playing often include sex. However, if your little only wants age-regression play, then most-likely, no sex will be involved at all. Therefore, it is critical that the rules and expectations are laid out before the DDLG relationships is even formed.

Finally, this type of role-playing is just that. It is a type of kink that you create with a trusted, adult partner. And if you so choose, you can mix the types of age-play and blur those lines, so long as it’s agreed upon with your partner. So, create your fantasy and head off to your little space, together!

What Is a Little Space?

The little space can be an actual place, a state of mind, or both. According to a blog post from DDLG Outfits:

“In DDLG, falling into little space is a huge part of becoming a little. Some littles use triggers to get there, such as sucking on their thumb or a pacifier, doodling on a coloring book, or just curling up with their stuffies.

Some littles sink into little space after a long day of work and some do it once a week or once a month when they meet with their daddies for playtime. Maybe you’re in little space almost all of the time.

However often you get to experience little space, it’s that warm, fuzzy feeling you have every time you feel safe in your environment. When you can just be tiny, carefree, and protected.

Little space doesn’t always mean you have to have a daddy around either. You can be alone in your room, reading Harry Potter and surrounded by soft pillows and a dozen stuffies. Or you can be around friends, finger painting sculptures {sic}.”

Making the Little Space Your Own

Creating a real small area is one thing you certainly can do together with your Daddy or all on your own. The real area is conducive to the sort of play you’ll be taking part in. For example, should your DDLG relationship is solely age-regression and caregiver, in that case your area are full of plush pets, play tents, bins full of toys and plush furnishings by which to relax and snuggle.

However, should your DDLG relationship is an age-play or a mix of both, you’ll wish your area to consist of areas for punishment, bondage and closeness in addition to childlike play. For instance, a sleep that will accommodate intimate restraints and sex-play, furniture you could share and a package to tuck away adult toys is likely to be ideal for both the tiny plus the Daddy.

Use your imagination. Find items that make us feel delighted, secure and safe, also things you’ll give your caregiver like games, tasks and crafts. It’s your stage to set, appreciate it!

Clothing and Accessories

Finding clothes and add-ons for age-play is not as simple as it may seem. Unfortunately, due to the misconceptions with this specific kink, adult stores that offer underwear and adult toys, don’t cater to age-play. Therefore, you’ll have to do a little bit of researching and discover online shops that offer adult-sized children’s clothes, diapers and pull-ups and add-ons like pacifiers, stuffed toys and shoes.

As far as adult toys get, there is what you want from online adult toy stores. Things you’ll probably decide to consider are BDSM sets, paddles and floggers and matching bondage discipline sets in addition to any sex model kits the two of you desire to share.

What To Do During DDLG Play

While talking about your DDLG relationship, you’ll would also like to determine things you’d like to do together with your Daddy or little. These are things inside, inside the physical, small area. Or these are tasks that will occur in public places. In the conclusion, every one of the tasks you select should evoke the emotions and emotions the two of you are trying to create.

DDLG Rules

When starting a CGL relationship, after you have talked about objectives, you have to then arranged DDLG guidelines. These guidelines are a significant element of role-playing as well as the DDLG relationship. Therefore, the most important thing to do first is to put up your safe terms.

Safe terms are to be properly used whenever you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or wish the role-playing, punishment or other task to end. And yes, which includes closeness. So, no real matter what rules you set since the Daddy or the tiny, the safe term constantly trumps anything else.

Once the safe term is made, then your Daddy, or principal within the relationship, sets the guidelines through which the small must abide. Here are only a number of the examples i discovered online:

DDLG Rules Examples:

• You must certanly be good and courteous.
• The small must always be understanding and truthful.
• Always phone your caregiver “Daddy” or “Sir”.
• Bedtime is defined by the caregiver, if Daddy informs you to get to bed earlier in the day, you have to listen.

Remember, these are merely recommendations which you can use during DDLG play. You are free to set your very own guidelines and tips! Again, this might be your dream! Make it what you need it to be.

Daddy’s Responsibilities

During DDLG role-playing, Daddy has particular duties he has to take care of. First and most important is getting permission. Consent is needed for almost any form of intimate connection with a partner. And which includes sets from vanilla intercourse between a few, most of the method to the complicated relationship between a small and his/her/their caregiver.

Secondly, Daddy is needed to care for their small. This includes, it isn’t restricted to, supplying for the little’s requirements, after the guidelines established between your few, offering equal quantities of love and control and satisfying the little’s desires, requirements and wants.

Finally, Daddy must certanly be a good part model within the role-playing scenario. For example, this is accomplished by leading by instance with habits, good practices being in keeping with love, closeness and control. The little should look up to Daddy and appreciate him of these things.

The Little Girl’s Responsibilities

The little’s responsibilities within the DDLG relationship are easy; proceed with the rules arranged prior to starting the age-play situations. Sure, the little can truly add a bit of spice to the role-playing by being a brat, tossing a tantrum or deliberately perhaps not after a rule so as to get control. After all, perfect angels don’t enjoy spankings.

Over all, the small must respect Daddy, listen to Daddy and do what Daddy claims when Daddy claims to do it.

Exceptions to the DDLG Rules and Responsibilities

In role-playing, you can find constantly exceptions, specially when it comes down to DDLG guidelines and duties. And those exceptions are the following:

1. This exclusion to the DDLG guidelines is whenever the Daddy and small swap roles. Usually, the principal and submissive stay static in those functions. However, with a few relationship characteristics, the couple chooses to trade roles in an effort to fulfill fantasies of relinquishing energy or being the guideline enforcer.
2. The important exclusion to the DDLG guidelines, as with every CGL role-playing, is whenever either celebration revokes permission. This is normally carried out by utilizing the predetermined safe term. However, the Daddy and/or the tiny may also revoke permission anytime not in the role-playing scenario.

Punishments for Breaking the Rules

In making guidelines for your DDLG relationship, you have to additionally establish exactly what punishments will likely to be doled away whenever breaking the DDLG guidelines. You is as imaginative as you select, also including whatever punishments your Daddy or the tiny will accept. Or it may be one thing the Daddy or little may enjoy, as an example, a spanking.

Here are recommendations for punishments:

• A spanking (for instance with a spanking paddle)
• Taking away beloved toys
• Cancelling an outing
• Sending the little to bed early
• Withholding closeness and orgasm (in age-play scenarios)
• No bedtime story
• Bathing alone
• Standing within the part
• Writing sentences

Keep at heart why these punishments will change dependent on whether you’re role-playing age regression (no intercourse) or age-playing (intimate closeness). Plus, your punishments is as imaginative as you select them to be. One one other hand, everything you start thinking about breaking the DDLG guidelines will change, dependent on exactly what the both of you talked about within the beginning.

It All Comes Down to Trust, Respect, Caring and Consent

In the finish, a DDLG relationship boils down to 4 considerations; trust, respect, caring and permission. Not coincidentally, they are additionally items that are very important in most relationships, whether in role-playing or real world. Friendships, dating, wedding, intimate relationships should all be according to these specific things.

And role-playing relationships are no different.

Whether you’re the principal (Daddy) or the submissive (small), you have to trust and present trust. You must mutually look after the other person along side respecting your lover.
