Why Does It Turn Me On So Much?

I've been really struggling with this for a while now. I'm in my late 20s and it feels like sometimes the only way I can truly be myself is when I'm acting out as an obedient little, you know, little one. The other day, we were out shopping and I found myself staring at these cute outfits that were obviously meant for much younger folks. As soon as I put on a pair of those adorable shorts and the tiny t-shirt, it felt like all my stress just melted away. It's this odd sensation where everything feels easier to handle when I'm acting small and naive. My partner understands me completely, but still... why does it turn me on so much? Is there something deeper about feeling protected and cared for that's coming out here? Sometimes, the way he disciplines me, like a child getting a time-out in the corner, it just sends shivers down my spine and I feel this overwhelming urge to be submissive. It's like all my adult worries vanish when I'm back in that little space. It’s a weird place for sure, but it feels right.
