In this episode "Daddy" explores a comical notion around relationships. In past episodes you’ve heard me dance and weave around the notion of normative relationships. You know…ones that climb the relationship ladder. Meet, become exclusive, move in, get engaged, etc… Relationships that look like the ones modeled around us as the gold standard. Standards that make it hard to love someone fully and completely and also retain your “you-ness” that made you interesting and attractive in the first place.  Step inside the bunny hole with Daddy as we

Daddy tackles a listener's question about coming out and where to begin.  With plenty of experience in tackling that exact aspect of living and loving non normatively, Daddy shares his perspective and experience on what it is to live open and what it takes to get there.  The pitfalls, challenges and benefits along the way.

A listener left Daddy a message regarding a DDlg relationship that recently ended.  He had questions around the notion of rebuilding eroded trust and what to do if there is a failure to communicate.  What to do when there are issues with trust?  Well...as you can imagine Daddy has a lot of thoughts around the topic.  So hop on in to the journey down the bunny hole...trust me, it's a good one!  

Daddy shares some truths he has learned from his relationships over the past 29 years.  Marriages, play partners, poly partners, power exchange, swinging and dating.  Daddy hasn't seen it all by any stretch...but he certainly has seen enough to reveal some very real truths.  At least truths for his life.  And as we all know..we're all human.  Which means our experiences are certainly relative to this journey together.  The names may change but the stories are all very much the same.  Listen and and see what resonates for you.  Never know what little hidden gem you could uncover for your journey.

Taking the cue from listener emails Daddy shares his advice on young listeners in the DDlg, Kink and non-normative space.

Daddy explores the concept of love.  How we are pre-programmed to interpret our neurological responses to love through examples we've learned from for decades before we have our first experiences of love...  And how that can flavor our experiences of love.  The complex relationship between our sense of selves and what the world around us tells us love should be.  In the world of non-normative relationships where our relationship structures already challenge the most resolved human...we also have to battle against our internal programming.  Join Daddy on a trip down the bunny hole of non-normative love in a normative world.
