My ideal BDSM partner would be someone who is open-minded and willing to explore and learn new things. They should also have a strong understanding of consent and boundaries as these are essential for any successful BDSM relationship. They should also be able to communicate clearly, both verbally and non-verbally, so that all participants can feel safe during their play sessions. My ideal partner should possess a healthy sense of humor and be able to laugh at themselves when mistakes occur.
