When My Husband and I Tried CNC Roleplay

I never thought my husband would be into anything like this. We've been together for years, and while we explore different aspects of our sexual life, this one really caught me off guard. It started when he suggested we try out a consensual non-consent roleplay scenario. At first, I was hesitant; it's not something that comes naturally to me or fits my personality at all. But the way he spoke about it, the intensity in his eyes as he described this fantasy of his, somehow, I found myself nodding along. We set some strict boundaries beforehand and agreed on a safe word for when things felt too far out of control. Even with those safeguards in place, there was an eerie edge to everything that night. Afterward, though, we both admitted it left us feeling strangely connected. It's made me wonder about the psychology behind such roleplays, why they appeal to some people and not others. I'm still trying to understand my own mixed feelings.
