What kind of love is DDLG?

[JJBee]

So I’ve been with my daddy for about a month or so now and he’s... ugh he’s perfect. We started saying “I love you” to each other and we both know it’s not an “I’m in love with you, love”. So... what kind is it? I know it’s like an “I love you because I don’t want anything to happen to you and I care about you, love” but is there an actual word for it? Or does anyone else have any other ways to describe it?

It can go from the love that a parent can have with there child, to the love that two lovers can feel, it all depends on your relationship that you have with your daddy.

Have you heard of the 7 types of love? If according to that, I think it'd be classified as Philia, a type of love typically for family and close friends.

Hm I would say, as already mentioned above, there's different types of love. But personally for me, I feel like the kind of love ddlg is, is definitely a really intimate type. Sort of a "I will care and protect you, but also you can confide and be vulnerable with me' way. But then again it really all depends on the way you think about it and the way you feel about DDLG.

I think it depends on SO many variables, it can be really hard to pin down! What the dynamic between you and your DD is like, how you feel about what DDlg means to you, and how you interact outside of the dynamic as well.

 

Some people aren’t at all sexual within a CG/l dynamic, really, and for them that type of love might be more along the lines of parent-child affection, or very close friends. Some people are, but are not at all interested in “falling in love” or pursuing anything romantic between one another, and for them, “love” might mean that they share a level of physical intimacy, trust, and openness that they simply don’t share with others. Common threads here are that you deeply care for and look out for one another, and can open up to show a vulnerable side of yourself that others don’t get to see.

 

Some people feel like BDSM is akin to a spiritual experience, where both partners help each other grow in strength of mind and awareness of body through the dynamic (which they should anyway, it’s just that some folks tend to be a bit more philosophical about it than others.) For them, “love” might mean “you’re a part of who I am”. Kind of a “higher” type of love between two people.

 

My after that ramble is that the definition is incredibly fuzzy because it’s incredibly personal - with DDlg, one size never fits all!
