    I had a short-term ex say that and it really turned me off every time. If the relationship went on longer, I would’ve eventually said something. It really weirded me out, especially knowing that her dad died of cancer a year prior. It’s like, what the hell is going on in your head? Get that checked out.

      It’s some sort of power play, parents are authority figures and it’s a very popularized term, so maybe saying daddy instead of boss or Mr officer feels easier, as an introduction to sub/dom play.

      The people that actually have daddy issues are different though.
