Just Another Little Session

So yeah, my long-term partner and I decided to try out a little dynamic. It's not some deep psychological need or anything, I'm just the kind of person who likes to shake things up once in a while. We went over all the rules beforehand, obviously, but it still felt... odd? I mean, we've been together for years and now here I am acting like I’m back at square one with a strict caretaker watching over me. Today was about basic obedience stuff, but honestly, it just made me feel silly more than anything else. Is this normal? Am I supposed to be getting off on all of this or is it okay if I'm mostly just confused and amused? Anyone have any thoughts?
