Welcome Rotmeister. I am kind of in the same boat. Just joined the site, and trying to figure it out. I will say that my wife has hinted at the D/s roles off and on in the past. My biggest road block then was all the information I could find was either “try blindfolding and tying her up” or the other extreme involving clothespins, leather suits, etc. We had done the first, and while I see nothing wrong with the second, I knew I wasn’t “there” yet. Wish I would have found this site years earlier, because I kept questioning “now what”. I finally asked myself “what would I REALLY like”? Turns out for me, at this stage, it is simple things like seeing her wearing only t-shirt and panties all day around the house, having her masturbate in front of me, etc. I know still pretty vanilla for many, but its baby steps. I have learned very quickly that communication is the key to all of it (you will probably hear that a lot), and that is where my wife and I are right now. I will leave it to others more experienced to give specifics.
Welcome!
