Differences between a Dom and Daddy Dom: A Dom gives his take | Domination and Surrender (2024)

In the BDSM world, there can be a lot of names and roles that could overwhelm a person when they are new. When I first got introduced to BDSM, it was really hard for me to remember all the roles and personalities that people can embody. Shortly after realizing that I was a Dom, I was soon wondering what was the difference between a Dom and a Daddy Dom?

In general, a Dom is someone who dominates or leads a submissive in the relationship. A Daddy Dom is a specific role or type of Dom that dominates a specific submissive; usually called a little.

Dom is a term that is used as an overarching term or an umbrella term in the BDSM world. Meaning there many different types of roles that fall under Dom. And Daddy Dom is just one of those roles.

A deeper dive into a Dom and Daddy Dom

As I said in the section above this, there are several roles that fall under the Dom umbrella. The type of relationship that Daddy Dom is specific to, is usually called a CGL, or Caregiver-Little relationship.

In a CGL relationship, the person that takes on the Dominant role or the caregiver is the Daddy or Mommy, and the person that takes on the submissive or little role is the “little”. This is basically what people call “age-play”.

The Dom in the CGL relationship will play as the parent, and will take care of the sub. The submissive will regress in age and state of mind, and will play as a younger child. The most common age regression range is in between 6-12 yrs old. Anything in the baby age range, and you will start entering the Adult Baby Diaper Lover community, which is ABDL.

As for Doms like myself, we don’t usually get into age play, but you can if you want to. I’m what I usually call just a regular Dom, or dominant. Just because you’re a Dom or like being a Dom doesn’t mean you have to be a Daddy/Mommy Dom. It all just depends what you’re interested in and what you like.

Since I’m a Dom who doesn’t choose to do age play or the Daddy role, I just like submissive feminine women who I can lead and dominate.

How are Dom relationships and Daddy Dom relationships different?

Daddy little relationships are not that much different from Dom sub relationships. In the Daddy little relationship, there is still a Dom, and there is still a submissive. It’s just the type of role each person will play is slightly different. In the Dom sub relationship, there is just a Dominant person and a submissive person.

The only slight difference is that Daddy/Mommy Doms are playing as the “caregiver”, or parent in the relationship. The “littles” will usually act like, talk like, walk like, and literally play with toys just like younger kids. I’ve even seen some cases where the little will buy onesies and throw temper tantrums also. it blew my mind the first time I seen it.

Basically anything than a younger kid or toddler would do, the little will somehow enact. They will call their dominant caregiver Daddy or Mommy, just like kids. (I also like my subs to call me Daddy, I just choose not to play in the DDLG environment.)

How are Dom relationships and Daddy Dom relationships formed?

As a whole, Dom sub relationships are formed by both parties in the relationship agreeing to be in that particular relationship. There is no secret code or password to recite. They both just have to sit down and mutually agree to the terms.

So if you are wondering how you could be in a Dom sub relationship, either with your current significant other, or if you are single and looking for someone to be in that type of relationship, it all comes down to being truthful and telling them upfront.

Same thing when it comes to CGL relationships. You have to be honest with your intentions and let the other person know what would turn you on or what you’re interested in.

Why would someone want to be a Dom or Daddy Dom?

In general, the reason why someone would to be a Dom or Daddy Dom is because they like the feeling of being in control. They like domination or being dominant, and that turns them on. It’s the same reason why some people would like to be a submissive or a little. They think it’s fun or this is what gets them excited.

When I talk to some subs, they like the feeling of letting go and letting someone else take charge. This is just who they are. Same thing with littles. They like the fact they get to role play as a younger kid and have a parent or caregiver taking care of them.

When I talk to Doms, it’s the opposite. They like the leader role, the dominant person in charge. They like to be the one calling the shots. And the Daddy/Mommy people love to take care of their littles. They like to help them take their baths, supervise them while they’re playing with their toys, and watch cartoons with them.
