Particular to gay male relationships (I’ve not heard a similar term: “Mum/daughter” in lesbian relationships) the “Dad/Son” or “Father/Son” relationship within some gay male relationships is more common than some folk imagine.
In LGBT culture, a “daddy” is a slang expression referring to someone who is an older man – but with particular accompanying reference to a younger gay male “son” (“boy” or “boi”); this is a sexualised intimate-relationship – specifically acting out passionate & non-sexually intimate aspects of father/son relationships but also often (but not always) including sex as part of the intimacy.
There is an important distinction about dad/son relationships – that the “dad” and “son” are not actually related to each other (i.e. this is not incest) and it’s not necessary for the partners to be of a particularly defined age range other than there is either a distinct age difference (for example, t

Father opens up about coming out to his 3 sons: I'm still the same dad as before
"Good Morning America" is featuring stories in celebration of Pride Month. Scott Takacs, a 46-year-old and father of three, penned a personal essay about his experience coming out as a gay man to his sons. Study about his journey below in his own words.

The whole experience is somewhat of a blur, mostly in part to the proof that at that point in my life there was a lot of change happening and some significant pent-up emotions. There wasn't much of a plan, no guidebook in hand, only goals that I hoped my boys would start the process of comprehending and accepting their dad for whom I truly was: a gay man.
It had been a long 15 months since coming out to my wife, an experience I unfortunately wouldn't explain as positive, joy or something I ever want to repeat. It was wrought with the happiness of finally telling the closest person in my true identity, while simultaneously ripping her wo
Who’s your daddy? The archetype of the father/son relationship is one paradigm that can be used to understand and experience homosexual men’s sexuality and relationships. It’s an idea that may not work for everyone but it’s long been a potent conceptual framework for me.
Whether it contains overt role-playing or not, sometimes the ways two adult men relate to one another — in bed and out — can have aspects of the familial and paternal with someone who seems “older and wiser” taking charge and offering encouragement and support to someone else who needs it.
For me this is not specifically about age: The first time another man called me “Daddy” in a sexual context I was in my early 20s. I’ve enjoyed swinging on both limbs of that family tree with gusto since then, but for years now I’ve found myself more and more in the dad role, sometimes even with men much older than me.
It’s hard for me to pin down what I even mean by that — it’s a very particular way of perceiving yourself in relation to a fellow human being. A physical example: Probably the most highly charged and fulfilling thing I can
