Caregiver/little (often abbreviated Cg/l) is a D/s dynamic centered around caregiving and age regression. The Caregiver may take on roles like Daddy, Mommy, or a non-gendered nurturing figure, while the little expresses a younger, softer part of themselves. This dynamic emphasizes emotional attunement, gentle control, and rituals that provide comfort or structure—like bedtime routines, rules, or stuffed animals. While it may or may not be sexual, it’s deeply intimate. For many, this dynamic creates a safe space to rest, regress, or explore playfulness without shame.
