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 dig deep into the notion that deeply intimate, loving relationships can take place over time, just not ALL the time. We will also hear from a listener who’s question helps illustrate that individuality, when preserved, can possibly help us preserve dynamic from eroding into the every day.

What do you do when your dynamic has become “every day”. The pull of the normative is strong. For those of us who have lived in non-normative relationships for years, and have spent years developing our relationship(s) it can be easy for our brains to fall into a normative mindset. AKA…the new normal. That’s when a lot of “shoulds” and “should nots” creep into our psyche. Take a trip down the bunny hole as Daddy returns to talk about maturing dynamics.   What does it mean that a dynamic has matured?

It's happened. We've all had moments where we "just don't feel like it" whether we grin and bear it or admit it and suffer the judgement. But there is a MUCH better way that can lead you down a wonderful path of discovery. Join Daddy as we shed some light on how losing touch with our dynamic, a form of play or even our Dominant, little or submissive side can be a HUGE opportunity!

A lot of our struggle in relationships, and especially non-normative dynamics, has to do with the key aspects at play in how we perceive and govern our relationships and dynamics.  Take a stroll down the bunny hole with Daddy as we talk about the Right and Wrong way to Evolve our relationships.

Some perspective into both the human capacity for desire and the human limitations of processing and managing our emotions around the interplay of relationship dynamics and the relationships themselves.  Join me as I hop down the bunny hole of how sometimes our relationship dynamics can take up more space than the relationships themselves.

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!   If you would like to hear Daddy talk about a particular concern of your, if you have questions or comments...join the conversation and help build community by contacting Daddy at [email protected].  I also appreciate written reviews, voice messages on anchor and likes on whatever platform you listen.  Thanks!

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. Please send your comments, suggestions and questions to [email protected].  So many episodes come from the community of shared thoughts from listeners writing it.  Won't you join our collective conversation?

Taking the cue from listener emails Daddy shares his advice on young listeners in the DDlg, Kink and non-normative space. You can add your voice to the conversations that expand non-normative ways of life into the mainstream by emailing Daddy at [email protected]

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.
