It was a few weeks ago. New partner, we're a couple months in.
We talked a ton about what we liked once we realized that we would be spending some nights together. We are around 40 and blessedly well past the point where anyone feels a need to rush.
They asked me to tell them what I was into, and I replied, just plain sex. In our case, plain old heterosexual sex, like something out of a biology textbook I guess. Can it get any more vanilla?. (Side note, just learned of the term vanilla, thanks gang.)
When I asked them what they were into, the answer was lengthy and included a bunch of the stuff that I had read about in some of the better stories on this site. I guess I had just never actually imagined myself into participation. But, why not?
So we had some lengthy discussions about what to try, and though I was still unsure, experimentation begin. This led to more thought and feedback about what worked and what didn't, about limits, and about ways we want to be pushed. Having to talk about these things is great practice in being vulnerable with each other, as a bonus.
Also, as a middle-aged beginner, I want to make it known to readers who may be younger beginners in either role. Something wonderful about the current status of our relationship is that there is a lot of reassurance that we care for each other deeply, are beginning to love each other, and that this all is truly just play. We are both feminists. We would never actually humiliate, demean, dominate, Etc the other outside the bedroom. This may seem obvious, but as a beginner, but I think it is important to establish a clear boundary for D / s roles as well as a clear, much larger boundary for respect and love, for lack of better terms. That only works because of this.
This level of communication is difficult to reach and requires a tremendous amount of research and intentional practice. And it is completely worth it if your goal is to have an emotionally and physically complex relationship with another being who wants something similar. What could be better than, say, getting tied up by someone you *trust* is wild about you? Cue the neurotransmitters.
Anyway, I have seen a few posts already from people who have not had great experiences with beginning this type of relationship. Just want to encourage you all to feed the fires that you want to burn, and run the other way if someone is being a jerk or has not convinced you that they care about you.
Long-windedly,
