I've dated some people who were brand new to BDSM (either had fantasised about it before, but hadn't had a chance to try it, or open-minded vanillas). Personally, I strongly prefer newbies who are very honest about their lack of real-world experience and who are openminded about trying different things, instead of having a richly detailed fantasy life with no room for interaction with *my* needs and desires! Of course, when I was looking, I wanted someone who was mature and already had a life in general, had good enough social skills to meet my friends (and have friends for *me* to hang out with occasionally), and who was intelligent and interesting to talk with. Having no idea what they wanted in terms of being a bottom, a submissive, or a switch (to stick with the relevant orientations here), what kinks they would enjoy, if they could enjoy service on a D/s level rather than only wanting to make me happy by doing things for me, seemed perfectly reasonable. Going off to visit a pro-Domme and demanding that kind of experience for free, on the other hand, made them far less desirable.
