ORIGINAL: WhoreMods FR: I think a couple of posters are missing the point that it's often a lot easier to convince a vanilla-ish partner to experiment a little* than it is to persuade a hardcore kinkster of any stripe to do the same? *(more on the "try it, you might like it," level of a kinky Green Eggs and Ham than browbeating somebody into a abusive relationship involving nipple clamps and whips, obviously) Which again comes down to a need for an all-round compatibility. If what you're looking for is somebody who'll naturally lead/follow in a relationship, and who is willing to experiment in the bedroom with some bondage and spanking, then a vanilla partner with those proclivities might work well for you. However, a vanilla partner who is absolutely straight edge and conservative, or who will naturally want to lead/follow when you want them to do the opposite (depending on which side of the slash you yourself fall under) will still be a poor fit, no matter how compatible vanilla interests are. You cannot exclude their sexual or BDSM proclivities from your search, because they're an integral part of the entire package of what you're looking for in a partner. Likewise -unless you're looking for casual play only, without a relationship- you cannot exclude their personality from your search, because sexual and/or BDSM compatibility in and of itself isn't enough to have a long term, pair bonded, relationship with somebody. As for kinksters being less willing to experiment. I don't think that's the case in a general sense. Though it is the case when somebody has already tried certain things and has found out they don't like them. Me for example, I'm not into needle play. I'm not willing to experiment with needle play, because I know I don't like it. Nothing you'll say to me will convince me to give it another try... been there, done that, not for me. You'll find the same attitude in a vanilla partner who has already tried to experiment with BDSM a little, and has found out that it's not for them. They won't be willing to experiment any further, because they already know they don't like it. If you find less willingness to experiment in kinky people than you do with vanillas, my guess it's because most kinky people have already experimented much more, with many more different things, than most vanilla people have, and therefore have a much longer exclusion list based on their past experiences.
