new to this stuff

so yeah i just started exploring some bdsm and ddlg stuff last month. been seeing a dom for the past few weeks and its kinda blowing my mind honestly. hes like, way older than me, mid 50s maybe? and hes got this whole thing going where he treats me like his little girl, which is... weird but surprisingly comforting at times. we do light bondage stuff sometimes but mostly hes into roleplaying scenarios where i have to clean the house or something. it sounds silly but there’s just something about being told what to do that makes me feel less stressed? dont know if its because im 35 and maybe feeling like a kid again is just, idk, cathartic somehow? or maybe cause hes so experienced he knows exactly how to push my buttons without going too far. still figuring it all out tbh.
