New to this World

I started working at a local bookstore a couple of months ago and recently I've been experimenting with some kink stuff in my personal life. It's funny how something as mundane as reading can lead you down unexpected paths. One day, while browsing through the adult fiction section, I stumbled upon a book about DDLG relationships, which is like a daddy-daughter dynamic but for adults who choose to engage in this kind of role-play. I bought it out of curiosity and started exploring the idea on my own. I decided to try it out with my boyfriend, who's been supportive through all my weird quirks. We set some boundaries and agreed that we'd treat it like a game. It felt different from any other sexual experience we've had before, there was something about taking on roles where I played the part of an adult daughter, while he took on the dad role, that really got to me emotionally as well as physically. The idea of being cared for in a way that felt protective and nurturing, even though we're both 18+, triggered some deep-seated desires within me. It's still early days, but I can already tell this is going to be an important part of my exploration into what makes us tick as individuals. The analysis side of me wonders if it’s about feeling safe and protected in a way that childhood memories suggest, or if there's something more complex at play here. Either way, it feels like a new world I've just discovered.
