One of the most misunderstood types of BDSM relationships is the Daddy Dom/little girl dynamic (or DDlg). For some, it’s just fun role-playing with clothing and outfits. For other ageplayers like myself however, it is their identity. Even though there are many benefits to ageplaying, 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 rules, definition of “little space”, Daddy dominant traits, and get new ideas, so you can enjoy ageplay responsibly.
The Real Definition of Ageplay
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. A Daddy Dom wants to be with HIS little girl, not little girls in general.
Why is the DDlg 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:
The 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. 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.
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 rules and knowing they’re making their Daddy happy gives them immense reassurance.
How to Incorporate Ageplaying
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 ideas for making it work:
Outfits, Clothing, and Other Ways to Look the Part
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
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.”
DDlg Rules, Little Space, and Other Ideas
DDlg revolves around wanting to please and fearing disapproval, so rewards and punishments are vital. Pats on the head and forehead kisses mean a lot, and spankings are usually a must. Keeping the attitude of “Daddy knows best” will also deepen intimacy. Good rules for littles include a set bedtime, no swearing, and keeping their room clean.
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 DDlg lifestyle can become the basis for a healthy BDSM relationship, and bring even more happiness to both the Dom and his sub. 🖤
