I'm been in the situation a few times where I've wanted to play with people who have different base interests than I do. Basically we sit down and talk and work out something that will work for us. I had a few sessions with Doms (Tops?) into rope when I was with an Owner who was not into bondage at all. I was able to experience some neat things that I'd have not otherwise experienced.
I've never had the experience that after some negotiation a scene agreeable to both of us could not be worked out.
