New to the lifestyle

[TNDaddy1981]

I had a girlfriend for about 2 years along with my wife. We all lived together during this time period. During this time, she would call me daddy and I went with it as a form of foreplay. I didn't realize there was an entire lifestyle devoted to it.

 

I recently lost her and found out her new Daddy actually lives this type of lifestyle.

 

 Does it have to include sex or can it simply be a role in which the Daddy acts a an actual father figure providing advice, assurance, comfort etc?

It can be either.  Some include sex, some don't.  It's all individual.

I see. Thank you Ponygirl.

I'll also point out that "living the lifestyle" can be different for everyone. Like Ponygirl said, sometimes sex is involved and sometimes not. But further than that, some people like a more strict relationship with rules (varying from a bedtime for the little to requirements to perform sexual favors) and punishments (could be spanking, a time out, no dessert, etc). Other people like softer lifestyles, with a focus on cuddling and being sweet and the daddy (or mommy) looking out for the little's wellbeing without there being so many rules/punishments. I hope this isn't too confusing.
