My Dom likes being called Daddy but I’m struggling with seeing the term as sexual or equivalent, which in turn makes me uncomfortable calling him so. I don’t want to upset him by calling him a different word. How can I fix this on my part?

I’m going to jump to the end for you: you need to talk to him.

Now, my observations:

  • It feels weird to me that he’s pushing “Daddy” in the face of what I’m assuming is apparent disinterest on your end. A Daddy’s girl tends to reveal her nature pretty quickly, so he should know you’re not on that page with him.
  • I’ll bet you actually can see the term as sexual… you just can’t imagine it being palatably so. That’s a pretty big disconnect between the two of you, right there.
  • Sometimes we have to upset the people we care about, because becoming upset is a natural human reaction to being told the truth. And we owe them truth as much as comfort.

And in case you missed it the first time: you need to talk to him.
