Learning Curves

So I started exploring DDLG and kink stuff a few weeks ago. It's been really exciting to be honest, there’s this woman in her early thirties who’s into it too, we’re sort of just figuring things out together now. Last night was our second time, and she tied me up after we had some nice cuddling and conversation about my childhood dreams of being an astronaut or something silly like that. We didn't go all the way first time because I wanted to make sure everything felt right before getting too deep into it. This time though, things got a lot more serious. She let me wear her little girl's clothes which was a big thrill for me. The physical side of things... oh wow, hard to describe but really satisfying. After all the cuddling and role play, we ended up making love in such an intense way that it felt like I was being reborn or something mystical. And then there was this moment where she disciplined me gently after, just a few taps on my behind with her hand, saying I needed to remember my place. It left marks but nothing painful, and it made everything feel more real somehow. So here's what I need help with: is all of this normal? Am I doing okay in exploring these new things? Any advice would be amazing.
