Are things like "DD/LG or "Littles" a trend?

***Please let me preface the following/below by saying that I am NOT trying to do ANY " Kink Shaming" of ANY kind!
This is ALL from a curious and observational standpoint, nothing more!***

With the above being said... Here it goes!!!

In the BDSM/Fetish LifeStyles, back when I first really got into it all, like 40yrs. ago, "BDSM/Slave Contracts" seemed to be all the rage?!
Then came, "Poly Households"... now it seems like almost EVERY Sub/Slave profile you read ANYWHERE, whether it be on here or "FetLife" or wherever... you see a person describing themselves as a "Little". This was usually from females, looking for a "Daddy DOM" type of dynamic, {but also sometimes a "Mommy Domme" if bi, lesbian/queer or transing?!} but I've also seen it from males as well now!


So... like in the past... is this a "Trend"... or is it something else... much deeper?!
WHAT SAY YOU?!

I would say it could be due to the caring nature of a DD that’s attract some to identify as having Little traits. In general we are more emotionally aware and intelligent so identify a certain need to be protected looked after and cared for. That’s just from my point of view not sure about others

[Ar****]

I say no it is not a trend... nor does it have to be anything deeper either.

 

It simply is what it is. There certainly may be an element of people *** it because they feel it is "the thing to do", but that is no different to many other kinks and aspects of this community in the modern era of media saturation - such people are not the majority. 

 

Some people enjoy it, or need it, or feel better satisfied/fulfilled with this manner of dynamic in their life, and that's all there is to it.

 

That said, I think your point about comment about kink shaming shines a light on why it may appear more commonplace now; previously these dynamics were perhaps some of the more taboo ones, indeed there is still often more stigma associated than with many other types. The gradual acceptance and dissipation of shame associated with DDlg and littles is likely why this is more readily and openly embraced/practiced.

I would call it a trend, or fashionable, perhaps. I think the Internet has been electrifying for kink. Things spread fast, far, and wide.

There is both a evolutionary and a psychological foundation for the phenomena. I'm sure women were calling men "Daddy", in some form, since the beginning of time.

Daddy (her real Daddy) is the first man she falls in love with and is the model for all men that follow. This of course assumes he's around and not a piece of shit, as well.

She's the first man she'll compete for the attention of (against Mom).

She'll come into her own, sexually, in his presence (figuratively speaking).

From an evolutionary perspective, an older and well-established male is an optimal candidate for reproduction. As he is older (modern preference is still around +10 years) the dynamic echoes that of the one with her father, to a degree. Very easily then can that idea of "Daddy" come into mind.

What's interesting to me, is that Daddy in DDlg is played at, but perception of the role as being the real Daddy is absent. Meaning, there is a hint of the taboo, but not in its true form.

Also, for those that get weirded out by DDlg, there is an inverse correlation for those interested in it and those interested in under-aged persons in real life. I've read the research. Still looking for the original work, which I will link in the thread once I find it.

The word little seems to be a new term. The important thing is that baby girl knows how to genuinely play her role and daddy acts like a daddy it's not about gifts and cuddling afterwards those are nice too we all want that stuff

[Sc****]

I forgot to add this in my first post:

There is a lot of overlap between the role of little and that of bimbo. Both deal with the removal of responsibility and the dehumanizing of the player. This is very much a BDSM dynamic at heart.

Sadly, it is a bit of a trend. Even though it's been there for a while. The difference is that some of them like to roleplay as littles, and are not truly littles that regress for real. If that makes sense. Age regression is a real thing and most of them just want the cuteness of the kink. The most common age regress people are the ones that are on the spectrum. Paired with ADHD. The rest just jumped on the bandwagon. To them, wearing thigh highs, plait skirts, cute pink tops with a colourful picture of an *** and a pacifier is what being a little is all about. And it's not. So, let's agree to call them "hobby littles". 🤭

It’s just a wave of *** hunnys. A lot of sexuality is monetized by USA if at all possible. And for people who don’t know how to fuck right or just want *** and no love or juice 🧃 even. I don’t want to take care of every
One else around me either all the day long. I want to be a sub brat sometimes too. Take me out to dinner and I’ll eat yours and say mines gross. Then while you eat I’ll continue to slam on your food until you loose your appetite. Then we go back to b a n g right and I’ll let you bj me really fast and not receiprokate lol.
