What Is DD/lg?

DD/lg stands for Daddy Dom / little girl. This is a relationship dynamic, and a sub-category of two other more general relationship dynamics, CG/l (Caregiver / little) and D/s (dominance and submission). Within this dynamic the dominant partner is known as a “Daddy” and is in a caregiver role, while the submissive partner is known as a “little” and is the one being cared for. Daddies almost always assume the title of “Daddy”, whereas there are several different titles that are commonly used by littles, including “babygirl”, “princess”, “sweetheart”, and “little one”.

Other Similar Dynamics

Although this book is written about DD/lg, much of it would also apply to similar CG/l relationship dynamics, including MD/lb (Mommy Dom / little boy), MD/lg (Mommy Dom / little girl), and DD/lb (Daddy Dom / little boy). Doms could be either mommies or daddies and submissives could either be little girls or little boys. These roles may not correspond with their respective genders at all, and instead may correspond to their gender identities. In fact, this book would largely apply to any relationship that has both a CG/l and a D/s dynamic. For the remainder of this book, I will refer to the little in this relationship as “babygirl” since that is the most common title used in DD/lg relationships. But feel free to substitute titles and pronouns as you read to fit your own preferences.

What is CG/l?

CG/l (Caregiver / little) is a relationship dynamic where one partner, the Caregiver, cares for the other partner, the little. Caring for each other is actually foundational to any healthy relationship, but with a CG/l relationship, there is a much stronger emphasis on this. Littles require a much greater than average level of care, and Caregivers, or “Bigs” as they are also known, need to be needed in this way, and derive pleasure from providing that care.

A daddy is a caregiver within a CG/l (Caregiver / little) relationship. The CG/l relationship dynamic can be, and often is, non-sexual. So, not all daddies are doms, and not all daddies are even kinky in bed. It’s possible to be a Daddy within a relationship where the sex is vanilla. It’s even possible to be in a CG/l relationship and not have sex at all. It’s also possible that the couple does have sex, just not when babygirl has regressed into what we call “little space”, which is when her mentality is more child-like. When they do have sex, it could be vanilla, or it could be kinky. Sex is not the motivating factor in this type of relationship and may not be a factor at all.
