So Much Kink Lately!

Hey there everyone, I've been really exploring a lot of new kinks lately. My partner and I are both very open to experimentation, and we've recently tried some CNC roleplay which was incredibly exciting for me, especially because it pushed my boundaries in ways I never thought possible before. We were watching an adult film together when the idea struck her, she said something like, “What if I pretend to not consent?” It felt weird at first, but once we established all the safety words and non-negotiables beforehand, it was actually one of the hottest experiences ever. The dynamics really shifted as my partner took on this role, and it triggered a strong emotional response in me that was incredibly arousing. I'm 35 now, and I've never felt so connected to my sexuality before. But there's also this nagging feeling, am I just getting too into the power play aspects? It feels good, but is it normal to get this invested in a fantasy scenario where things aren't actually happening in real life? I really want to hear from other folks out there who have had similar experiences or have thoughts on navigating these kinds of dynamics. Is it healthy for me to be so attracted to scenarios that feel so intense? I guess what I'm looking for is understanding and maybe some advice if anyone has any wisdom they can share. Thanks in advance, everyone! Looking forward to your insights.
