It can be easier to date someone with similar interests in domination and submission because this type of relationship requires a lot of trust, communication, and understanding. Having similar interests can help ensure that both partners are on the same page when it comes to expectations and boundaries. That said, some people enjoy the challenge of dating someone who is different from them when it comes to these topics. Ultimately, finding someone with whom you feel comfortable exploring your fetishes and desires is key – whether they share those particular interests or not.
