Just Can't Help It

I’ve been this daddy in the DDLG scene for years now, and I still find myself puzzled by why I enjoy it so much. Is it the sense of authority? The feeling of guiding someone through life's challenges? Or is there something more primal beneath all that? Recently, my partner was going through a tough time at work, and we slipped into our dynamic to help her cope. It felt... right somehow. But then I start questioning everything, am I just drawn to control because of some leftover insecurity from being the youngest in my family growing up? Or is there something else I’m not seeing about myself?
