Not a fan.

Learned behavior from a conditioned respose to a social norm about a cultural identity sterotype, of some extremely misunderstanding female who has not encountered higher conscious males, who respect women on an egalitarian level of consciousness...... Unless of coarse she is role playing, in which senario I would respectfuly resign from the game. And then spend the next few hours trying to figure out how I became apart of this situation, and become an exiter.

I don't think I have an opinion here, other than if a woman wants to call me that then who am I to disagree?? ( Who am I kidding???... That will never happen, so no worries ??)

Meh, whatever turns you on and works for your intended purpose.

I don't care. It isn't for me, but, if other people do it, it is none of my business.

@BangkokBette What was the another member question?

Not in public, please. What you do in the bedroom is your business, I just don't want to know about this particular kink.

Doesn't bother me what other people are calling each other. But I can't stand to hear it for other reasons. It turns out my fiancee of a few years back was referring to my best friend as 'daddy' when discussing their antics in s&m forums

Even in a dom world it's rare, a guy refers to the woman as mommy. So no

Whoops! I think I just added a comment in the wrong spot. Sorry! But what I said still stands - I despise being called “baby” and I refuse to call a man “baby”. It’s so demeaning!

In the BDSM world, it's a complex dynamic that varies by the individual and the couple/partners. Contrary to ignorant mainstream thinking on the subject, it has absolutely zero to do with incest. With the caveat that it varies by individual and couple/partners, for many, it is a sign of simultaneous submission and request for nurture, guidance, and acceptance. The emotional message might be something like: "I feel emotionally small and I need someone in my life who will serve a paternal-like mentor role, even as we are romantic and/or sexual partners". It can also include: "I want to feel sexually submissive and servile and I want someone to take advantage of me, but not in a sadistic way, but in a kinder way".

Considering that for some women in this role, they have been actually abused by people who were supposed to nurture them, this can be an empowering way to receive healing experiences of nurturing and love in an adult context - one over which they have control and to which they give consent.

Nope!
