To call ‘him’ daddy or not?

Brings out the mic. Drum roll. Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! – would you call your husband ‘Daddy’? Would your answer be Yes or Ewwwww? There are two different perspectives to this; there are individuals who are okay with this form of endearment while the other individuals are on the Ewwww side. As for people who sit on the fence or are indifferent to this, the people who say if that is what their husband wants then they are okay with it, we would just ignore them for the sake of this discussion.

Starting with the second perspective: This group of people finds it rather disgusting to call their husbands Daddy. They believe that when it’s time for that intimate act it’s quite repulsive to call him daddy as it makes them feel as though they were imaging such an act with their dad. They believe that it also depicts a lack of bond. It shows how distant they are with their spouse. They would rather see their spouse as a friend, gist partner, someone they can relate with and calling their partner the name daddy doesn’t foster that bond to them. This group of people says they can’t help but laugh when they address him as such because it’s rather weird.

The individuals with the first perspective believe that addressing a man as a father shows that he is a protector, one who shows you love and provides everything you need. Let me chip in that if by chance you are a housewife you ‘may’ also automatically fall into this category. Individuals in this perspective say that it has an effect on them while having an intimate act with their spouse. To them, it stimulates them. The individuals with this perspective may not start out with the intention of calling their husband daddy but when they have children they find themselves using this name to talk to their children and it just sticks.

Narrowing it down to the typical Nigerian family setting, some of the wives I have watched closely don’t call their husbands ‘Sir’ and ‘Daddy’ because he is protective or loving, it’s just a thing of you are beneath and I am above. It’s really peculiar to certain tribes. The men like to be addressed as Daddy. When he steps into the house everyone takes cover. The Daddy is back! Sounds like saying ‘Return of the Mummy’.

The Individuals with the perspective that calling their husbands daddy during sexual intercourse stimulates them is a perspective common with whites. These individuals say that the fact that it is incensed is what turns them on. Which is definitely wrong from a biblical standpoint and the Bible is our standard. So the motive of calling him daddy clearly matters. However, the Nigerian woman in some cases calls her husband Daddy to show his authority.

So let me explain a particular situation that happened to me once and maybe you can deduce my stand in this matter; There was a certain brother interested me. I hadn’t given him an answer, so imagine my alarm when we were having a conversation and he told a lady to give us space that mummy and daddy are talking. Well, I did not take it lightly. Oh, and I gave him a piece of my mind. Maybe it was repulsive to me then because I felt that was like helping me make a decision when I hadn’t. Whichever reason it was for me, the name didn’t sit well with me that day. Don’t know if I will be okay with it in the long run. I just know I want to be super close to my husband! He must be free, someone I can relate with and have fun with.

Let’s hear from you! Ladies, are you okay with calling him, daddy? Men, are you okay with your wife calling you daddy?
