New to BDSM, sub/dom relationships, and bondage

Jillian
Last night my boyfriend and I tried something new in our sex life and it was   A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I told him (very embarrassed to say) that I was into rougher stuff in bed and being dominated and what not and at first he was like "oh god I can't ever be violent toward you!". After that I said it's ok we don't have to do that but he said he wanted to try it anyways. Long story short it was some of THE BEST sex I've ever had and he said he enjoyed it too and it felt natural for him. I think it's something we will be doing again❤️. Anyone else have experience with BDSM, dom/sub or other freaky things not considered "vanilla"? I would love to hear what you all are into and tips on how to do it safely, consensually, and to make it as enjoyable for both of us as possible! I've only ever fantasized about it but it was so fun to implement!
