Mama and Daddy

I don’t have anything resembling a daddy kink, and yet I’ve found myself frequently referring to my husband as daddy recently, I do this because we have a dog and I frequently tell the dog things like “daddy will be home soon”, similarly, my husband often says things like “you want to go sit with mommy?” which got me to thinking about the historical usage of Mama and Daddy as terms of endearment, as in “Hot mama” or Mamie Smith’s track “Daddy Your Mama Is Lonesome For You” and frankly it seems that the original appeal of these terms wasn’t that they eroticized the parent/child relationship but rather eroticized the actually erotic relationship between parents (parents frequently end up refering to one another by their parental titles because it’s their role in the family and this was even more prevelent historically).  Mamie Smith’s track makes this particularly clear.

I suspect that calling a partner mama or daddy in bed historically had a lot more to do with the idea of making a baby than it did with your partner being your baby.

Y’ know what I mean?  The eroticism wasn’t the taboo it was more of an impregnation fetish if anything.
