New to This - Figuring Out the Details

I started exploring my kinks a few months back, after years of suppressing certain desires. It's all very new and confusing. My partner is open-minded but skeptical, he doesn't fully understand what I'm feeling or why it excites me so much. We agreed to try something different recently; I wanted to feel like I was in my early twenties again, exploring life without responsibilities and just living for the moment. He took on a mentor-like role, guiding and disciplining me when necessary. The first time we tried this out, it felt surreal but also incredibly freeing. We started by setting up a specific room as our 'space', where no cell phones or distractions are allowed. I stripped down to my underwear while he stood there in his usual clothes, the contrast was striking and added to the power dynamic. He gave me some basic instructions on how to act, like wearing an outfit similar to what I might have worn when younger but adapting it to fit current tastes. The physical intimacy started with him gently touching my skin, tracing over scars and memories from years gone by. It was as if he were trying to reclaim parts of my youth that felt lost or neglected. When we progressed to intercourse, his touch was careful yet firm, guiding me through movements I might have experienced before but now viewed with a fresh perspective. Our session ended with him reviewing what happened during the day's playtime, discussing areas where I succeeded and needed improvement. It was surprisingly therapeutic; talking about my desires openly and honestly felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Yet, there's still so much to figure out, finding the right balance between our real-life relationship dynamics and these new experimental roles. Right now, it's all very exploratory and I'm learning as we go along. My partner seems more intrigued than anything else, willing to keep trying but also respecting boundaries. It's a strange but exciting journey we're on together.
