Behindthepaddle Podcast invites you inside one of the most tender, misunderstood, and intimate corners of the BDSM world: Caregiver/little dynamics.

We explore the acronyms (DDLG, CGL, MDLB, Littles, Middles, Brats), the psychology of regression and attachment, the rituals of rules and punishments, and the playful, sometimes erotic, worlds of diapers, pacis, and discipline.

We dive deep into:

• What regression really is (and isn’t)
• Why structure makes Littles feel safe
• The brat’s defiance as a plea for love
• Rituals of affirmation and daily caregiving practices
• The risks of Littlespace, drop, and unsafe dynamics
• How permission to need, regress, defy, and be loved is the heart of it all

In this episode, I dive into one of the questions I hear all the time: what’s the difference between a kink and a fetish? These two words get thrown around a lot, but they aren’t the same thing and understanding the difference can change how we see ourselves and our sex lives.

I share my own experience as someone who needs BDSM in my life to feel whole and authentic, but who can still enjoy and orgasm through vanilla sex. For me, kink is the language of my desire not always required for climax, but absolutely essential for fulfillment.

We’ll also look at how fetish has been understood historically, why it was once pathologized, and how modern sex-positive approaches view it today. Along the way, I’ll reflect on how kink expands pleasure, how fetish sometimes replaces it, and why neither is something to be ashamed of.
