My (F29) girlfriend (F24) and I both have very similar kinks, and we are both switches. Usually she is dom/top and i'm sub/bottom when it comes to sex, with very rare exceptions (her choice!), but when it comes to non-sexual interactions, we like to trade. I am a lot more experienced with pet play so I have an easier time getting into that headspace but for her, despite knowing it's important to her, it's still a struggle to not feel embarrassed/ashamed/"cringe"/just generally self conscious. I know what I like, but neither of us know what she likes yet- any advice from fellow doms or subs on what they've tried or like to help release that anxiety? What are some good starter puppy scenes we can do to help her ease into it? I know my way around as a dom and a sub but I want to make sure I go as slow as she needs, and I want to try multiple angles to help her find what suits her best. Thanks in advance!
Edited to add: we have a crate, but anything involving closed off/solitary spaces makes her really sad, so I have to avoid that kind of thing!
