Old Dog New Tricks

So yeah, I'm a 52-year-old guy who's just now getting into this whole Daddy/kink scene thing. Thought it would be fun to explore my inner daddy and have some fun with that energy in bed. But let me tell you, it's been quite the ride. I've always had an interest in discipline and power play, but I never really acted on it until recently. My partner, let's call her Jane (because I'm old school), is in her mid-thirties and she seems to have wanted this kind of dynamic for a while now. We started off slow with some light role-playing, just talking about rules and boundaries at first. It was exciting, but also nerve-wracking because it felt so different from our usual relationship. Then one night, we decided to take it up a notch. I bought some new outfits and gear that made me feel more authoritative in the bedroom. The transformation was amazing, suddenly, I wasn't just this regular guy anymore. In these clothes and with my newfound confidence, I felt like a dad from another era who could make all the rules. Things got really steamy when we started incorporating physical discipline as part of our playtime. I know it might sound rough, but there was always plenty of foreplay leading up to any spanking or punishment role-play scene. Jane would be tied up or restrained in playful ways before I'd give her a light spanking for breaking one of the made-up rules (she's great at playing along). The thrill and excitement were palpable. Now, here's where things get a bit tricky, after our play sessions, we always have a debriefing to talk about how it went. It's been incredibly revealing; both Jane and I are finding out new aspects of each other that neither of us knew before this dynamic was introduced. The level of intimacy has skyrocketed. But my confession is this: there were times when I felt like I was playing the dad a bit too hard, especially when it came to enforcing discipline. It made me wonder if I might be pushing her boundaries or crossing some lines without even realizing it. So, am I being too strict as daddy? Is it okay for the rules in bed to feel so real sometimes? What do you think? Am I overstepping here or is this something that just needs fine-tuning with more communication and understanding between us?
