figuring it out

so i started this thing where i play mommy for my partner and its been interesting trying to figure out why exactly im into it. like the nurturing side of things feels good, but then there are these moments when he's all submissive and it turns me on in a way that seems kinda contradictory to being this mom figure. maybe im just exploring different sides of myself or something? not sure if its normal for others to feel this way too. anyone have thoughts?
