Hi All! I’m pretty new to being a little. I have friends in the kink community and have heard stories from them about ddlg relationships and have always been interested in being a little myself, but I have never acted on my interests.

I recently started dating a new guy, and he’s very open and understanding, but I’m afraid to tell him about my curiosity.

My biological father is dead, and I’m afraid that my boyfriend will think that if I tell him I want to be his little, or if I ask to call him daddy, he’ll get weirded out because of the real life situation of my own father not being here. I’m afraid he’ll judge me or say I have daddy issues or make fun of me.

How can I bring this up to him? Is there another name I can use with him besides daddy?
