If you mean by "Imagination", creativity then I would answer as follows. For me, BDSM is always about a dynamic. Generally between two people, but, of course, there are variations on that, too. So in my own experience, sometimes with certain people, I have had what I would characterize as a more creative BDSM dynamic than with others. Some people are really great at thinking about things differently (even in a genre that is saturated with porn and external images). And it has been my personal experience, that my having tremendous creativity or imagination is not as critical as my Top/Dominant having creativity/imagination, because at the end of the day, I'm not the one who is generally masterminding a scene. My main frustration with the BDSM world is that many Tops/Dominants are interested in re-creating something they've read about or seen somewhere, but often have less creativity of their own that they bring into the dynamic. And it's such a shame. Because I think the BDSM world lends itself to tremendous creativity for those who bring creativity into it. My best relationships have been with people (vanilla or BDSM) who were very creative. I like to take the basics of BDSM (however one defines that personally) and then being able to "run with it". But not everyone I've encountered approaches it the same way. A lot of people have ideas that have come from external imagery, and what they want is to simply re-create that. Not as fun, in my mind, but then the BDSM world is a big place, and it is always about finding the right match for one personally. In other words, plenty of people in the BDSM world have successful relationships that are not particularly creative, that stick pretty close to the standard BDSM "plot line" so to speak. But if it works for them, it works for them.
