'My personal definition of a daddy is someone that's in control - but he's kind and considerate - he wants to really take care of his boy to ensure that he's comfortable and fully satisfied.'
Ryan St. Michael
Every year on Father's Day I spotlight hot dad's. Models, actors and men who are actual fathers, father figures, DILF's and of course, hot Daddies. Almost every year, I also get an e-mail or comment from someone uncomfortable with the use of the word 'daddy'. I think the issue isn't so much the word, but the label or stereotyping of gay men.
I understand that completely. I usually hate and reject most stereotypes and labels. As a psychologist, I've seen the lasting damage labels can inflict, especially on young people. I also know that labels can be positive and incredibly powerful. The difference between being damaging and powerful really pretty simple, it's not about the label, but the labeler.
Though out history, people have always felt the need to label others, especially people they consider 'others'. The power has come when those being labeled take control over the narrative, using words that empower them to label themselves. After decades of being called 'faggots', 'homos', 'dykes' , 'trannie's' and 'sissies', the LBGTQ communality took back the narrative, empowering themselves with their own glossary of labels, including the term 'daddy'.
New York Magazine tells sus the term 'Daddy' was first used in the gay community in the 1940's. It really took off however in the 1970's, especially in adult films, to describe a dominate leather daddy. Today however, the word is more generalized and used to describe any man, wither gay or straight, involved in a relationship with someone younger.
My personal experience with daddy's has all been positive. As I've shared many times before, I came out late. I was engaged to woman, and didn't end the relationship and officially come out until my mid-twenties. A few friends knew, but kept up the act for as long as I could. There were a lot of men around that time to acted as my 'teachers'. Some were older, some were my own age, or younger. All made that journey from the closet easier, welcoming and a hell of a lot of fun. I continued to gravitate towards men who are teachers. I've been out for awhile now, but there are still so many things to learn and exploring is always so better with a hot and knowledgeable guide.
Adult actor Ryan St. Michael is the perfect 'daddy' to spotlight this Father's Day weekend. Not only does he 'play' a daddy in most of his films for Carnal and Say Uncle, he also embraces the term. I also like that Ryan doesn't easily fit the established stereotype. With his handsome face, youthful look, and fit lean body, Ryan isn't someone whose necessarily easy to stick a trademark on. With that face and fashion sense, he could be on the cover of GQ or soap opera stud. His exhibitionist side however, led him in another direction.
I had a goal to get into the best shape of my life when I turned 40. I was always a fit person - but never really tried to "have a six pack" etc. For 8 months I worked hard and was so proud of the results. Because I didn't know how long I'd stay this fit, I hired a famed Houston photographer named Evin Thayer for a sexy photoshoot. I was hooked. I found the experience to be so affirming, challenging...and to be honest, a huge turn on.
The road to adult film work came many years later. After my experience with Evin, just for fun when I traveled, I did erotic photoshoots. I even had photographers sign a document to "not" share the photos. At the onset of 2020, after years of modeling for fun, I started a sexy IG page that took off. Then, when I divorced, I had to decide what I would do for a living. The thing I was most passionate about was content creation. I went for it.
I launched my brand and company, Seersucker Stud, in April of 2021. I started my OnlyFans in August of that year (solo), started collaborating with other guys in March of 2022 and did my first professional studio shoot with Carnal in June of that year. It's at that time that I became "Ryan St. Michael."
I think those Seersucker suits, and Ryan's labeling himself as the 'Seersucker Stud' began his journey to becoming one of the adult film industries most popular daddies. So many of associate suits with daddies, as they've come to represent a certain level of age and maturity. Over the last century, regardless of class or position, most men had to wear suits to work. Over the last few decades however, more professions have abandoned their dress codes.
Suits can be fashionable and stylish, and they can also be uncomfortable, especially when you're sweating through them on a sweltering and humid, hot summer day. This can make it intensely more erotic, when you finally get home, and the suits finally peeled off,. You're finally at home, completely naked, but with someone ready with one final tempting task, before you can finally hit that shower.
I was first introduced to Ryan's work as a model, in and out of his Seersucker Suit, through his work with Tom Rubeck from TR PICS. Check out more of their work together, and more of Ryan's thoughts about being a 'daddy', and his work in adult films, on THE NEXT PAGE HERE:
