What is DDlg? Daddy Dom/little girl Ultimate Guide

One of the most misunderstood types of BDSM relationships is the Daddy Dom/little girl dynamic (or DD/lg).  For some, it’s just fun role-playing with clothing and outfits.  For others, it is their identity.  Even though there are many benefits to ageplay, it can be hard to know what things to say to someone who feels this lifestyle is wrong.  Keep reading to learn all about the DD/lg rules, definition of “little space”, Daddy dominant traits, and get new ideas, so you can enjoy ageplay responsibly. 

Note: Although this article primarily refers to Daddy Doms and little girls, the tips, ideas, and DD/lg rules can also apply to Mommy Dommes and little boys.

How I Got Started with the DDlg Lifestyle

Ever since I became sexually active, I always had a “Daddy kink”. I loved calling my now Dom, Daddy, and enjoyed being coy and pretending to be innocent. I bought school girl outfits and was drawn to anything Disney. Unfortunately I did have “Daddy issues” growing up, and the fact that my father passed away when I was 13 just compounded them even more.

Being in this DDlg lifestyle with my partner was a healthy way for me to explore this kink without fear, shame, or enabling what could have been harmful experiences. Since my partner never had a father, it was also very therapeutic for him to be the role that he never had in his life. It was extremely empowering for both of us.

DDlg Meaning & Relationship Dynamics

Ageplaying involves treating the sub like they are a certain age, usually younger, anywhere from toddler to teenager.  As a result, the sub treats their Dom like their Daddy.  He takes on the paternal role of protector and caregiver, and administers discipline and training when needed.  The sub becomes his “little” and relies on him emotionally, physically, and even sexually and sometimes financially.

Ageplayers are NOT pedophiles.  The definition of pedophilia is having sexual feelings towards children.  A sub is not a child, but is a consenting adult.  Therefore, a Daddy Dom wants to be with HIS little girl, not little girls in general.

Why is the DD/lg Relationship so Fulfilling for Ageplayers?

It can be hard to explain this lifestyle or know what things to say to someone who doesn’t understand this kink. Basically, age playing and DDlg satisfy both individuals involved on many levels:

How to Be a Daddy Dom

Usually men are naturally attracted to youth and innocence, and having a little meets that need continuously. They will also have the satisfaction of having someone rely and dote on them, and counting on them to “fix it” when things get hard.  Similarly, littles are constantly seeking the praise and attention of their Daddy and will do their best to please him.

When his baby girl disobeys rules, a Daddy Dom also gets the fulfillment of disciplining her in any way he desires, (and she has consented to).  She will also come to him with her sexual needs, as he knows how best to please her.

How to Be the Little Girl

In a symbiotic way, what makes the Daddy happy fulfills the little’s needs and vice versa.  She will be made to feel eternally youthful and beautiful, and he will spoil her and cherish her.  Subs that choose this relationship are usually emotionally fragile at times, and having a supportive, paternal figure is very soothing.

Likewise, being told they’re a “good girl” makes sub ageplayers feel extremely content.  And obeying the DD/lg rules and knowing they’re making their Daddy happy gives them immense reassurance. For example, head pats and forehead kisses mean the world to me.

How to Live the DD/lg Lifestyle

Now that you know the real definition for ageplay and what both the Daddy Dom and little girl get out of it, here are some of my experiences and ideas for making it work:

DDlg Ideas

The Daddy Dom ultimately chooses the clothing his little girl wears, but short skirts, dresses, and having their hair in braids or pigtails is usual protocol.  School girl outfits are very popular, and Brazilian waxes are a great way to get that look and feel for ageplaying.

Daddy Dominant Traits and Things to Say as a Daddy Dom

Littles should refer to their Dom as Daddy, and always ask them for permission, just like a dependent child would.  Daddys need to call their littles by appropriate names like Baby Girl, and conversations and lectures are more enjoyable when she’s told to sit on his lap.

Littles also usually require a softer approach when being dominated.  Good Daddy Dominant traits are being nurturing, caring but strict, being a good listener, and supportive.  Here are some ideas for things to say:

• “Be a good girl.”
• “Behave.”
• “Do you need a spanking?”
• “I’m proud of you.”
• “You’re too little to do that, let me help you.”
• “Be careful.”
• “Let me touch/see your princess parts.”
• “Use your words.”
• “Let’s have cuddle time.”
• “Don’t worry, I’ll make it all better.”

DD/lg Rules, Little Space, and Other Ideas

DDlg revolves around wanting to please and fearing disapproval, so rewards and punishments are vital.  Therefore pats on the head and forehead kisses mean a lot, and spankings are usually a must.  In addition, keeping the attitude of “Daddy knows best” will also deepen intimacy.

Good DD/lg rules for littles include:

• A set bedtime
• No swearing
• Keeping their room clean
• Eating their fruits and vegetables
• Screentime limits

The definition of “Little Space” is a state of mind submissive ageplayers enter when they’re deeply feeling little. Here are some ideas for age appropriate activities to help a sub enter little space more easily:

• Coloring
• Reading stories together
• Having a stuffie
• Keeping a journal
• Cuddling
• Watching cartoons
• Going on outings together
• Using stickers

Ageplaying is a great way to mix childlike innocence with naughty sexual curiosity. Don’t listen to people who try to say that ageplay is wrong.  The DD/lg lifestyle can become the basis for a healthy BDSM relationship, and bring even more happiness to both the Dom and his sub.
