The nickname Daddy.. Why?

A lot of girls call the guy they're with daddy or the guy wants to be called daddy (usually during sex). What's up with this? I'm not for it or against it, I'm neutral. But I've always wondered why people like it?

  • I think it's a sort of dominance thing, the guy feeling powerful and in control and the girl feeling submissive. I've heard it's about that and not actually the father role. It's not something I'm into, whenever I hear the word "daddy" I think of my dad, the last person I want going through my mind when I'm fooling around. Me and my boyfriend were watching a comedy movie a while back and the sex scene the guy kept saying "who's your daddy?" I laughed and asked why anyone would want to hear that during sex. My boyfriend thought it would be very funny to see my reaction, so he said it in a stupid voice when we were kissing and leading up to sex, he burst out laughing when he saw the look on my face. He's never done it since he's realized I don't find it funny and he went that night without having sex since he completely turned me off haha.

  • man that's exactly what I wanna know. When I even think of the word daddy I can't help but imagine my own dad whom I'm close with. ew! why the hell would I want him in my thoughts when I'm doing my boyfriend?! is it a complex or something. . . why do guys do it? do they secretly fantasize about doing a little girl or some sh*t. idk. creeps me out. makes no sense.

  • haha haha. I fantasize about a few much older guys that I know and I imagine calling them this. it's a way of making them seem more powerful and in control, not an incestuous thing. it's an old time thing implying that he's in charge of her, especially holds true with older men.

  • I could never call a guy I liked that, way too creepy. I don't like it when I guy tries to call me mommy either. Yes a guy did that once and I told him it was creepy so he stopped.

  • For most people, it's just a variation on the dominance/submissive angle. Sure, we get why some people might be wierded out by it, but it usually isn't used from a "child love" point of view or anything like that. Instead, it's usually used as a more "loving" or "gentle" form of "Master", meaning the girl still wants to feel submissive and dominated/directed by the man, but doesn't want that Master/Slave relationship that is more cold and distant. The "Daddy" is meaning a (usually) older (than the girl) man who is strong and in charge, but who wants a submissive lover rather than a slave.

    Does that make sense?

  • It has more to do with the man being a dominant authority figure.

    It almost never has anything to do with the girls actual father.

    You might often find that in some ethic groups, like Dominicans, the use of the affectionate term "Papi" is similar, but again during sex would never refer to her actual father.

  • There is a saying that suggests that women subconsciously desire men who have their father's characteristics. You fill out the rest.

  • I'm not a fan of that term, always kind of creeped me out.

  • no offense to those that like that name but I hate it, I think it's perverted and too dirty for my tastes
