Is there something halfway between Dd/lg & D/s?

I think that sometimes we lump little and baby girls together. To me little deal in age regression, whereas baby girls deal with more of a role play. In short, you can be and feel however you wish. Also, and a big YAY!, there’s a dominant for every submissive. Just be honest about what you want and you’ll find it….eventually. I’m a masochist slave with a lot of babygirl in me and thought I’d never find anyone comparable with that.

I'm curious about this. How do you, personally, differentiate between a "little" vs a "baby girl" and age regression versus "simple" role play? This is a damnable quagmire isn't it? As for me? I refuse to label myself as anything other than a masochist who has the potential to be a submissive with the exact "right man". I love being nurtured and babied in the context of aftercare or when I'm depressed or emotionally overwrought but can't imagine using any one descriptive label to present to the rest of the world.

Whether we like it or not, and whether or not we think it's right or even fair, we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to pigeon holing ourselves and then falling into the trap of complaining about being misunderstood.

It seems to me that, depending on the speed of the fluid, that that could be further qualified to:" the exact right Man doing the exact right thing in the exact right moment." Which seems daunting, and is prolly impossible, if we are approaching interaction from a standpoint of static knowledge, or our memorized idea of who/what that person is. Seeing interaction as a dance helps me. It may be choreographed, the steps memorized, but there is still a lead and a follower, and the motion of the dance is individual, personalized, by the dancers.

Snipped for focus:
But when I said "right man" it was in quotation marks as I'm aware of all the qualifiers that the phrase carries. I was more interested in how the other poster distinguishes "littles" from "baby girls" and "age regression" versus "role playing". There's a point where all of this seems like splitting hairs for me and I'm interested in how others perceive what can frequently seem to be minutiae to me when all the words are woven and packaged away. Thanks, as always, for your response since you're always very eloquent and thought provoking. I'm left still not understanding how some people see the difference between littles and baby girls, and age regression versus role playing that was introduced previously. ?

i have never thought of myself as a "little, baby, or age regressed." Then i spent time with a Man. There were no labels or identifiers used between us, i've written about the experience in other posts, but the result was, He regressed me. i wasn't looking for it, we hadn't discussed it, i suspect He was just being Himself, but i do not honestly know if He was purposefully trying to regress me.
It was not till after that i realized what had happened and put words to it. But while we were together He kept affirming me and identifying me as a "good boy, " telling me how "proud He was of me, etc.." At one point, i was there, i was a good boy and feeling proud of myself, even blushing when He praised me as such.

i'm pretty analytical, so i have looked at the experience a lot since then. i can only speak for myself, but i don't identify as a little, baby or "boy," but i think there is a part of me that can be evoked and surfaced that is a "boy."

For me, It was real, i was not playing a role. i wonder if evoked is more accurate than regressed though? i think part of the conflict we feel accepting these labels some times is we try to make them all or nothing, when it may just be a part of us?

To be that Dom that grabs you tosses you on the bed and has his way and makes you so happy you are not only a sub but his sub. After he has turned your body into a soft painful blob of sweet hot mess he starts at your toes and kisses his way to your nose then lets you know the bath is ready. He steps in then helps you slide into his arms and the warm water. Gentle washing and much neck nibbling he reminds you why you chose him.

I ask because the idea of a nurturing, protective, caring Dom with that steely dominant core really appeals to me but being treated as a little doesn’t.
Does that make any sense?
