A Night Of Surprise

So last night I decided to experiment with something new in my casual dating life. We've been seeing each other for a few weeks now and things felt stagnant, so I surprised him at home with handcuffs and a blindfold. The idea was just to explore restraint play... but once he put them on, there was this unexpected sense of trust. It made everything feel more intimate than it had before, which is odd since we've already been fairly open sexually... But now I'm wondering if that openness was what let me push further without fear. Did I find a new layer to our connection? Or did I just get lucky with timing?...
