In this episode "Daddy" explores a comical notion around relationships. In past episodes you’ve heard me dance and weave around the notion of normative relationships. You know…ones that climb the relationship ladder. Meet, become exclusive, move in, get engaged, etc… Relationships that look like the ones modeled around us as the gold standard. Standards that make it hard to love someone fully and completely and also retain your “you-ness” that made you interesting and attractive in the first place. Step inside the bunny hole with Daddy as we dig deep into the notion that deeply intimate, loving relationships can take place over time, just not ALL the time. We will also hear from a listener who’s question helps illustrate that individuality, when preserved, can possibly help us preserve dynamic from eroding into the every day.

Daddy explores the concept of love. How we are pre-programmed to interpret our neurological responses to love through examples we've learned from for decades before we have our first experiences of love... And how that can flavor our experiences of love. The complex relationship between our sense of selves and what the world around us tells us love should be. In the world of non-normative relationships where our relationship structures already challenge the most resolved human...we also have to battle against our internal programming. Join Daddy on a trip down the bunny hole of non-normative love in a normative world.

Have you ever been frustrated or at odds with how you THINK relationships should be going VS how they have actually played out? Have you expected things of your relationships only to be surprised that they go a completely different direction? Have you ever felt limited in your relationships but also like you needed them to be more? Do you use your past relationship experiences to govern your current or future relationship goals? Then you may be pigeonholing yourself. Take a walk through the aviary with Daddy as he discusses his own insights and views on what pigeonholing your relationships can get you VS the alternative.

What do you do when you find yourself in a long-term relationship and/or marriage when you discover (or re-discover) your kink identity? You talk about it with your partner, Daddy hopes! But what happens when your partner wants nothing to do with the kink lifestyle and cannot identify with that orientation? What's more, if they are not interested in kink than what makes them inclined to be interested in a non-normative, non-monogamous or polyamorous arrangement that affords you a chance to explore and have your needs met? At least without you having to end your relationship to find it? Join Daddy and babygirl as they tackle this sticky topic posed by a Daddy AF listener, Baby bear.

This special episode comes from three, separate conversations I had in one day a listener, a DDlg erotic adult fiction author and my special little girl. All three of them echoed sentiments that represents, what I feel, is a very significant and introspective look into the mind of a submissive little girl. Not only is this topic poignant in and of itself but also relevant to the lifestyle and many of the conversations I've been sharing lately on Daddy AF. Doms? Daddies? Pay attention!!!!
