You could also book with someone who you think might be open to this and have a vanilla appointment to see if you have a good connection to start with and bring up the topic towards the end of the appointment. That way you have a chance to discuss and feel each other out face to face. A lot of my d/s relationships have started this way and I like it because it lets me form an opinion based on who I’ve met rather than the possibilities behind a keyboard. Good luck on your search!
