Experience Levels
In BDSM relationships, experience levels between partners can influence the dynamic in significant ways. A recent poll of my followers revealed that 68% are new to the lifestyle, while 49% would not consider a partner unless they were of intermediate experience level or higher. This creates a clear divide, with some newer individuals seeking experienced partners for guidance, while others prefer to avoid relationships where there is a significant experience gap. It is valid for individuals to seek partners with similar or greater experience, as differing levels can bring challenges such as misunderstandings or mismatched expectations. Not only that but those new to the lifestyle are often at risk of exploitation, as scammers may target less experienced individuals looking for guidance. Despite these challenges, partners can navigate the experience gap and build successful connections. So it is now time to answer Jimmi Hendrix’s famous question “Are you experienced?” and see how it can matter in BDSM.
