This workshop allows participants to explore the edgy psychological kink of “daddy” / “little” in a trauma-informed way. We review the rich queer history of “daddy” kink, address associations with incest and pedophilia, and discuss the potential for retraumatization. We also explore the ways that playing in this dynamic can actually address “the father wound” and the responsibility that comes from being someone’s Daddy.
The group engages in a visualization exercise, discusses various archetypes, engages in dyad role plays and exercises, and has the opportunity to write out a fantasy scenario. The workshop presents a gender-neutral approach to daddy dynamics, emphasizing daddy energy rather than appearance, and incorporates humor throughout.
