I am a 26-year-old with a daddy issue. I thought by growing older, I will grow out of it. But unfortunately, I didn't.
All my life, I have been attracted to men in their 40s. The first time I realized my desire for the body of a mature man was when desperate housewife was still on air, and actor Doug Savant dress in leapord underwear. That scene was a great turn-on for me that I jerked off for several months only thinking about him.
Since then, my sex fantasy, which I have enacted with a lot of men in their 40s years afterward, is to be fucked by an older man while he compliments my obedience and desire to please him the daddy. Even up till now, I have no sexual attraction to people my age. This is quite unfortunate since I would not have a long-term relationship with an older man. So my best guess is that I may never been in love.
From my research and understanding, your sexuality would probably be set after your puberty. So whatever tickles your boyish pee pee will tickle you for the rest of your life. One example is Louis CK. When he was a teenager, an older girl asked him to jerk off in front of her. He then carried that fantasy to later his adult life (as I record).
It may sound so random. However, why such an experience turned you on in the first place should be the main issue to focus on. One psychological trivial I learned from my research and life experience is that your sexual desire reflects what you lack. Human being is very strange in this way. When we lack something psychologically, most of the case we don't actively seek out the things we lack, but it will manifest itself into a twisted sexual desire. For example, people who into being submissive may have grown up in an environment where he or she will need to take charge even at a very young age. People into voyeur were probably grown up having no friends or unable to connect with others.
As for daddy issue, from my first hand experience, was because I grow up having little validation. I was a bit of a late boomer and I was good at absolutely nothing when I grew up. And my parents were either worried or disappointed. So in my early childhood, I was basically chasing the parents and teachers approval while I only got very few. It all changed when I suddenly have a spike in my intelligence and became a top student at 16 then went on to best college in my country. Don't know why, must have been something in the water. LOL. But my need for approval probably got twisted into a sexual desire for older person and I will probably carry it for the rest of my life.
I don't know the previous generation. But my guess for daddies to become so popular is because kids these days grow up in social media and reality TV, which are basically a bunch of bragging. They may think their life was not that glorious and tried to compensate and seek approval from peers and parents, which they mostly did't get.
So for all of you who are interested in getting a young guy with a daddy issue in bed. I can give you a few tips. 1. Don't just refer to yourself as "I" only, refer yourself as "Daddy" from time to time. 2. Pretend to have an interest in his well-being but not the things he love, say stuffs like "Maybe you can come here eariler, I don't want you to be tired at work/school tomorrow", and defintely not, " I love Beyonce, she is my Kween B and Cardi B is my second Kween B". 3. And compliment him for being handsome and cute, try to use fewer words such as "sexy" or "hot".
