Whipping Up Some Fun

So here I am, a 50-year-old Daddy who's got my hands full with all the kink and fun we play. Last weekend, things got a bit wild when my sub asked to try something new, a little spanking action in our age-play scenes. We ended up going a bit further than planned, leading to a light whipping session using a soft paddle. She loved it! I mean, she definitely had some marks but nothing too serious. It was all consensual and we were very careful. Just thinking back on it makes me chuckle. Now the question is, am I being too lenient or indulgent? Is this something others do, too? I don't want to go overboard but she seemed so happy with the experience. Your thoughts?
