You’ve all waited so patiently! Here’s a new episode with Soulhuntre, Flagg, and Daddy David discussing Daddy Archtypes. As we mention in the cast, we are recording with our new Zoom H2! These baby’s are great sound quality…but that being said…it picks up everything. But we feel a little background noise (while I helped Flagg out at his apartment) is worth it for the awesome discussion and quality! Enjoy!

Thanks and kudos, guys, for a fascinating discussion.
As a gay man who has long identified with the Daddy role I was especially interested to hear your take on things– most notably, from a heterosexist filter. I must draw some similar conclusions to yours in the very different ways that the pan or straight worlds respond to the “Daddy” role versus the gay male leather world. I was also gratified to hear that qualities that I most closely associate with the Daddy role are often shared by my straight counterparts who identify as Master publicly. I had no idea that straight Daddies might be (or feel) less validated within their respective communities or be closeted for having less prestige or, as one of you put it, “the creepy factor.”
At any rate, I think you did a great job in providing an intelligent and very thoughtful discussion about a topic that’s near and dear to many hearts. I hope that queer perspectives will continue to be injected in these dialogues (and that these perspectives will also be shared directly by gay/lesbian/trans persons).
Respectfully,

Thanks for taking the time to comment, it’s always nice to have what we do appreciated. PowerInPractice is a pretty free form little podcast – we talk about whatever strikes our fancy and we try and come at it pretty “real” in the sense that we haven’t rehearsed. As a result the conversation sometimes rambles, or we evolve our positions on the spot as we bounce ideas off each other – but I think that is the charm.
I googled ya and checked out your homepage, pretty cool. Your podcast looks like a great resource as well. I’ll drop you an email, maybe we can get you on sometime.
Thanks again!

Wow you guys really explained this in a way I had never thought to look at this before. I love that you said “you have something I want and I have to ask for it”… And now the word charge comes into play with a whole new meaning.. I am totally a BDSM sub only recently have I found and been learning more about the whole “daddy” side of this. A friend sent me the link to this and I love that he was able to find this and show it to me! You guys keep up the good work and remember…….It’s only funny till someone gets hurt…then it’s hysterical ;)
Wow! This gave me so much to think about. Thank you for that.
When you speak about “Daddy” being perceived as an “equal player” in the community…as “Sir” or “Master”…not as titles but as lifestyle practitioners…do you reject the idea that, moment-to-moment within every D/s relationship, we each have different roles? (for example., http://www.geocities.com/rovershand/3POD.html)
Oh, and I have read your respective articles on “perspectives on protocol” and you should assume in my query above that I understand the differences between modes of behavior, and Who We Are in the context of any relationship.
