Conflicted College Kid's Playtime Dilemma

So, I'm this college student who’s been into little play for a while now. It's weird because I’m not exactly the type you'd peg as wanting to regress in age-play scenarios, but here we are. My partner and I have only been doing this seriously for about six months now. We’re both 18+, and it started just kind of organically between us, mostly cuddling, talking baby talk over coffee, that sorta thing. Nothing too intense or sexual initially, but as time went on, the dynamic deepened. I was a little surprised at how much I enjoyed letting go like this. It’s not something I ever imagined doing in my wildest dreams. But it’s been liberating, feeling young again, having someone take care of me for once, and being able to ask for whatever I need without feeling silly about it. I remember the first time we did more than just cuddle, I mean, there was a lot of teasing involved beforehand, but that day was different. He had some things he wanted us to try, props and stuff, and at first, I was like 'um... no way.' But then, once I got into it, wow, it was amazing. It felt good in ways I never expected. So here’s the dilemma: we've talked about taking this to another level, something more public or recorded for ourselves maybe? But that feels scary because what if people find out and judge me? Is that even fair? I mean, everyone has their own kinks. Should I worry so much? It's hard figuring all of this out while also trying not to let it consume my thoughts too much. It’s fun, but I keep wondering where exactly we’re going with it. We’ve discussed a few things, like maybe exploring Daddy/kitten play next semester or something. But the idea of sharing that side of me feels daunting. Anyway, just needed to get this off my chest. Sometimes these questions whirl around in my head and it’s nice to talk about them, even if anonymously. Who knows where all this will lead, probably nowhere at all, or maybe somewhere totally unexpected.
