Erotic Heritage Museum
Museums are obviously not a place to perform BDSM acts, however, they still qualify as a great place to visit for any to partners in a d/s dynamic. The Erotic Heritage Museum has displays related to sex, kink and more. It is a great place to learn about the dynamic a domme and her slave loves so much. The museum also gives a rare insight into how sex, BDSM, and kink are enjoyed elsewhere in the world.

The ranch is pay to play kinky destination, where you can choose from several dominants and dominatrix who specialise in almost every kind of play routine there is.

The place is loaded with all sorts of play equipment and encourages you and your partner to leave nothing to the imagination.

Compatibility in BDSM
Many would that for a relationship type that is supposed to mostly physical, compatibility isn’t as important. However, kink can not only become great but also last a while longer if a dominant and submissive are compatible. A d/s dynamic is way deeper than a dominant just ordering their submissive around. Getting to know your partner and creating a connection before delving into more extreme sorts of BDSM is still important.

Once a submissive connects to their domme, they will enjoy submitting more and vice versa. Are you willing to learn what your partner is into? Can you tolerate or get used to a few their quirky habits whether in and outside of a scene? Both the submissive and dominant can only go the extra mile if they feel strongly towards each other. So, how do you know if your potential dominant and submissive is someone you can create a connection with?

BDSM isn’t All
BDSM isn’t everything a domme and slave do when they are in a d/s dynamic. Even for couples who are a part of a full-time BDSM relationship, there will obviously be times where they aren’t involved in steamy kinky action. Hence, the goal is to be with a person you can enjoy being with when the BDSM action is over. Take the liberty of asking them their likes and dislikes and be sure to tell them yours. Sexual compatibility is great, but connecting out of sex is also equally important for sustainable BDSM relationships. D/s dynamics work better if you genuinely being around your top or bottom. You don’t want to be sitting with your BDSM partner over dinner in awkward silence. When partners don’t connect on a personal level, it only takes some time before someone gets intolerable. To be able to enjoy routine almost as much as BDSM is always desirable.

Similar BDSM Interests
It goes without saying that figuring out similarities in BDSM are pivotal for a great Dom-sub relationship. A great tool to figure out whether or not both of you have BDSM stuff in common is a BDSM checklist. Both of you should come up with your own BDSM checklist. Categorize sections as mandatory for stuff you think you would want in your BDSM dynamic and then also make a list of things you’d like to have but can let go if your partner does not feel great about them. Once done, sit together and have them tick boxes against the activities they feel comfortable about. No two partners will love everything about each other. Hence, if some don’t match it is completely alright. The goal is to create a healthy balance between your needs and wants in accordance with theirs.

Open Communication
If you are with a partner to whom you’re afraid to communicate your desires, something is broken. In any healthy relationship, its success depends on healthy communication and BDSM is no different. Open communication from the start helps build a strong foundation. Partners who can share stuff that is hard to communicate always go a long way. If a partner can communicate openly to their dominant or submissive, only then can they think about sharing their new kinks and interests with them. To put it simply, if you think you can communicate with your partner without fear, chances are you will be able to build a strong connection with them.

Expectation Management
What do you both want to get out of your d/s dynamic? Do they want the same relationship dynamics as you do? If your partner wants a private relationship and you want to announce your new dynamic to the world, obviously it wouldn’t work. Similarly, if your dominant wants you to be exclusive and you’re a submissive who enjoys polyamorous relationships, the dynamic is already flawed even before its beginning. Your partner and your expectations from a relationship should overlap – not all of them but for the most part. At the end of the day, it comes to if the relationship feels right to you. Your gut never lies to you, however, keeping a checklist always helps clear the questions in your head. BDSM is equal parts psychological and physical, if not more. A submissive and dominant should connect when part of a d/s dynamic and there are no two ways around it.
