Agree with Domina M here. Defining chemistry a bit more would be helpful.

Personally I find chemistry very hard to predict until I’ve actually sessioned with someone and not always correlated with experience. I’ve sessioned with very experienced Dommes who I’ve just not “clicked with” and on the other hand I have had amazing rapport with some fairly junior Dommes.

In my experience though downright BAD sessions are rare though they do happen. 8 in a row of awful sessions seems odd, 8 in a row with limited chemistry definitely seems possible. It’s a bit like dating, I can go on 8 dates and not feel a strong connection but it doesn’t mean they were all bad dates.

I think the bell curve comment that was made earlier is spot on. Of all the Dommes I’ve seen over the years, maybe 10% I had extraordinary chemistry with, 10% were just a terrible match, and 80% were fun sessions without any amazing connection.
