This is an interesting topic. One I think that may have more depth to it than at first it may seem.
I understand the context of this is based around those seeking people who don’t know any different, because they have no level of comparison to what constitutes honourable behaviour in this lifestyle... so they can be taken advantage of. That definitely happens a lot.
A few other possible factors came to mind for me when reading this thread. I have encountered many, many Dominants in-person who’s “thing” is “firsts.” They are addicted to being the one to see a submissives face light up... or being the one who gains their trust... or being a guiding hand, when experiencing something for the first time. In this context of course, I’m speaking in solely a play aspect, and isn’t necessarily harmful behaviour if the intent behind it is coming from a place of goodness.
I think there are some who are attracted to the endearing naivety of inexperienced people (in anything) because really, it is a beautiful thing... and I believe that not everyone wants to take advantage of that... there are some who simply treasure that and want to nurture it for themselves.
Within the context of this community, we see the common theme of broken hearted submissives rotating here. I don’t mean this without sympathy... I have been one... however, that would be pretty exhausting trying to have as a beginning foundation. Some are up to the task. Perhaps some simply are not... and that’s ok.
Then there’s also the potential negative flip side of someone who calls themselves an experienced submissive, possibly being inflexible and stuck in believing that the way they were initially “trained” is the way submission *is*... regardless of who they’re trying to align with. That can be potentially more problematic than a newbie, and a very difficult area to navigate for a new Dominant... we also see that here a lot.
I’m not writing all of this to disagree. I think you bring up a very valid point of something to be wary of. I guess I’ve never thought it to be odd... a bit romanticised, yes... however, I simply figured that everyone likes what they like, and who am I to say otherwise, just because I don’t match their preferences.
Like everything that makes this lifestyle difficult to navigate, it’s impossible to lump everything with one reason. I think it takes looking at the whole context of someone’s behaviour to have an understanding of what their intentions are, and it can be a slippery slope of confusion if we try to pinpoint specifics.
