Strange type of dom/switch?

[Bearly]

I like to be a caregiver in the form of a big teddy bear. I basically take over when there are no adults around and will take care of littles and help them with things, and of course keep them safe. But I also like to be played with and dressed up and treated like a teddy bear. My interests as a CG are completely SFW. Would you consider that a switch or just a very relaxed dom? Does the caregiver always have to be the dom? Are there other dynamics that involve the little taking charge in some situations?

I don't think you need to label what or who you are as a CG. Some Caregivers are very much on the "softer" side of the spectrum, i don't think that makes them switchy at all, just maybe a little bit more in tune with the needs of their charges. Caregivers do not always have to be Dom, the same way that littles aren't always subbish. The best thing about this side of BDSM and kink, is that you can just be who you are and take as many of those ready made "labels" as you want, if you want ^^ There are littles on this forum who identify as Alpha or Dom or Top, so yeah, there are definitely dynamics and other people out there who will be on the other side of the situation you are describing <3

Yes there are absolutely dynamics where the little takes charge. That is how Princess and I are 90% of the time. But the caregiving aspect is still there and I actually see it more in a service sub kind of way. It's easy to flip things when you see it like that. Personally, I see service as a daddy through a submissive lens, and it is 24/7 for me. All it requires is for the little to be demanding and the daddy to submit to those demands and boom, there you go, a whole new world opens up.

 

The dominance of the little is as much determined by the willingness of the daddy to submit as it is the little to dominate.

I love this. I think the spectrum and fluidity of the dynamics are some of the reason I feel so at home in them. Some subs treat their Doms like a sub because that is what they want. It is not really the action that carries the definition but the dynamic one is in I guess.
