Sexual compatibility??

Ok so I know it's not Friday and I'm likely to be flamed/ called a troll or hairy trucker but rest assured I'm not. I'm not here to offend anyone or draw attention to myself. Just want an honest answer.

After coming out of a long-term relationship, and spending a night with someone I realised something about myself that I suppose I've always known was there - that I'm into a bit of kinkier sex.

Problem is I attract totally the opposite kind of guy. I've tried to explain to one or two and they are either shocked or just don't get it. My current fella I've just started to date doesn't really get it either and he's is too nice for me take him seriously even if he did try. Lovely guy though.

I don't know what to do. Should I just forget it and bury this part of me because it looks like I'm never going to find someone who is compatible the way I want? I've had a look at various sites but they all seem like 'hook-ups' and that generally isn't me, for my own safety primarily. I keep thinking, well I did it for xx amount of years, what's the difference now?
Yet the thought of turning back on what I really want is a bit depressing. I've tasted the excitement I felt and now want more but with someone I trust completely.

I just want a perspective on this. I know sex isn't the be all and end in a relationship but after spending a lot of time with my ex sexless because he didn't want to I know it can put a strain on a relationship. Would you settle for anyone who is sexually incompatible with you and who you think is a bit - well - boring in bed??

That would be an interesting prospect sbg. There is absolutely no fetish clubs where we live so who knows I suppose. If there was I would be there in a shot Grin

I understand where you are coming from maleview. It's the paradox I know that most men might find difficult to define. However, if you read my previous comments you would see that I had settled for no sex for year-long stretches before which made me unhappy. Good for people who can cope with it, but I found it very difficult.

Am a bloke but disagree with maleview. Firstly, what you are looking for in a man - someone dominant in bed but respectful out of it - is not hard to work out (it's the mirror image of what you want, after all) and there are loads of men who can offer this. And secondly, while everyone does settle in some way degree, sexual compatibility is really a deal breaker for some. Frustration and wondering what you might have had can gradually drive you nuts. So why settle for that this early on?

Check out informed consent. If there isn't a club there may well be a munch near you.

Thank you dogfish.

AKiss - yep I'm on IC (and a lot of others). The munch's round me are 'play' type things (as long as you have met one of the main members). Not the normal coffee type things where you meet others that I've hear other munch's described as
