I love this topic and I really love your story. For me, it was when I topped for the first time. I'd never had any desire to do it. I was fresh out of college and dating a girl who surprised me by coming into the living room wearing the cutest lingerie and carrying a wooden hair brush. She said that she had been rude at dinner, which she had, and asked me to spank her. I didn't know if I could. It was out of the blue. But, I did. I started with my hand to get her warmed up. Then I went to the paddle. It came together. We were both really turned on by the end of it. It put my head in a place of being dominant. Since then, I mostly top. It took that natural moment to bring it about.
