Just Experimenting

I recently started working from home and found myself drawn to an online DDLG community as a way to relieve stress. Last week, I took the plunge and engaged in my first session with someone more experienced who guided me through a light role-play scenario that felt oddly liberating and comforting, despite being outside my usual comfort zone. The emotional support and connection were unexpected but appreciated. Reflecting on it now, I'm trying to understand why this feels so different from other forms of escapism.
