How do you feel about the word "daddy?"

As a sexual term, I think it's plain weird. Especially as my youngest son calls me that.

Happy days

 

Creepy and Awkward, i just don't get how it can turn some people on o.o

 

Hah, I can't even remember the last time I called my own father "daddy"!

Seriously, any words that establish a power dynamic between partners just make me sick. This is a particular thing for me in MF relationships, but it extends to same-sex relationships as well.

Daddy, mommy, baby, babygirl (those last two are particularly disturbing). I grew up in a culture that frowns on incest and child molestation...so words that suggest those sorts of relationships are just right out.

Give me a healthy egalitarian relationship any day...or leave me the fuck alone!

 

It is gross and creepy as :***:.

 

Naw, I prefer sheik & sheba.

Daddy or mamma... No, not my meat...

 

It's what I call my dad

 

Idk i find it a bit akward but also a bit sexy however i dont think i would ever use it. But on the other hand the word mama kinda wierds me out

 

I'm ambivalent on being called or calling someone else "daddy", but for the most part, a great deal of you guys call it awkward, off-putting, and incestuous. My version of this feeling would be being called "papi" just because I'm latino or have tanned skin.It really does feel weird and I have begun to revile the word increasingly over the years. It's stereotypical banter and I refuse to be rendered to simple terms. I'm way more multi-dimensional than that stupid word.

 

To porn and incest-y. It's cringe inducing.

 

Is it weird that I thought this thread was going to be about things children call their parents?
Yes? Okay then....

 

I have a different perspective. When I lived in NYC, a lot of Hispanic folks addressed me as papi, even though I'm Asian. I didn't mind it really. In fact, I kinda like those terms of endearment.

As for the word daddy, I would feel uncomfortable being called that or calling someone else that.

 

:roflmao: BEST REPLY IN THIS THREAD, in my opinion. HAHAHAHA!!!

That would be my reaction too. Eeek! Though some couples in here use that and "mommy" as their terms of endearment. Imagine if they are doing it in the bedroom, EEEW!

 

I hate it. "Hate" is actually kinda an understatement.

 

I don't care for it personally, but whatever floats your boat.

It has an almost southern sound too it. Maybe because of Tennessee Williams, and characters like Big Daddy, in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Or, conversely, of charters like Baby-doll, in the Tennessee Williams film/play, 'Baby-doll'. There's one to watch, if you want a touch of that Gothic-weird-romance angle!

So though I don't like it, if people over the age of consent wish to use it sexually, and it makes them happy, who am I to judge?

I mean, I have fantasies of me and my mate dressing up like TMNTs and having sex, and people might think that's weird, whereas to us, it's just creative fun.

"Papi" is what my parents used to call me before I went rancid and bad. Still feels patronizing, as if I were naive and childish. That is exactly how my parents treated me and still do. :eusa_doh:
Endearing yeah, but not my favorite expression of it.
Interesting that you mention that. Never knew.

 

Daddy is definitely NOT ok. To me, it makes it sound like a relationship with an underage person. We should not try to sound like pedophiles. I didn't call Cecil Fielder "Big Daddy" growing up and never called David Ortiz "Big Papi" either. Weird.

 

Yeah nothing gets me going as much as picturing my fat hairy father.

*sarcasm*

 

I generally agree with all comments above (uneven power dynamics in a romantic relationship/incestuous overtones/etc...).

The only situation I personally see it being possibly "cute" is between soon-to-be or new parents (i.e. it's about acknowledging the other person's relationship to the child, not them - i.e. daddy, the father of our child).

However, to each their own I suppose.
(and Ai Papi reminds me of a Will Smith song from awhile ago...)
