So, you want to know a bit about me?
I can tell you about things I've done, but who I am you won't ever know unless you meet me.
I've been involved in BDSM both privately and community for fifteen years. I have taught seminars on safe play for novices and mentored people in advanced techniques. I have been a member of groups in the northeast and southwest and even have credits as a fetish film photographer and producer. Some of my work can be viewed in this profile.
For the past eight years I've lived in Austin and been involved in that scene, though I'm semi-retired from it these days.
I have a devoted slave who I am quite happy with and am not looking to change partners. We are principally monagamous, but occasionally play with other singles or couples who interest us.
I visit this site mostly to meet new people who live in central Texas and haven't connected with others through the scene or are very new and need help finding their way around.
I don't visit very often or do much with this profile anymore, if you know me, you know how to reach me. If you don't know how else to reach me, just don't expect a quick reply. I get notices of messages, but it's not my highest priority to respond.

Commitment:?
This weekend I attended a party where people were discussing collaring and its meaning.?
To me, a collar is only an outward symbol of the inner commitment which is to honor, respect and obey.? A dom or sub can only be measured by their adherence to their word-their bond.
Someone who can't stand up to their promises can't possibly wear a collar.? The meaning would be lost on them. |

Trying to repost this one more time, don't know why but it hasn't shown up either of the two previous entry attempts:Going to put this away for awhile. I'm deactivating my profile and I don't know whether I'll bring it back. It's a combination of needing to focus on some real issues going on and serious problems with the administrators of this site. They keep rejecting my photo of myself - saying it doesn't meet with community standards- yet I sent in a picture of Richard Gere for my profile and they approved it right away. (no, I deleted it afterwards)Sheesh, how dumb can they be?
Not like it's doing anything for my ego to be told I'm too unappealing for this site-compared with some photos here I don't see what could possibly be inappropriate about a photo of me in a suit; are only nude photos of genitalia permissable now? If so, then I really do not need to be here. Bye all, it's been fun. |

A new irk to become peeved about-again, that is.
In a conversation with another user yesterday it turned up that my profile pics were gone. This is the second time that my pics vanished mysteriously from my profile and thrice before has the text of my profile evaporated into the ether.
I've since taken the precaution of keeping the profile backed up but now I'm once again engaged in a battle to get my profile pics approved by the administration of our lovely site.
Although these pics have graced my profile for nearly a year and are downright tame in comparison to some of the content here, my pics have been rejected twice now for "failing to meet community standards". Of course, the definition of that term is unavailable for examination which makes the whole ridiculous exercise extremely irritating.
For example, the posted guidelines say only "no professional photos, copyrighted works, artwork, only pictures you took yourself"
Okay, so setting aside the idea that only pictures you shoot in a mirror are allowed-which some people do but not everyone here- I'm left with the facts that the photos I have had up for the past year are my own works, were not made for money and I am not a full-time professional photographer; but even if I were, why whould that be held against me in posting my own pictures?
That leaves copyright-which I have tried to stress to the site owners here repeatedly is an unrealistic demand simply because it violates US copyright law:
By definition all artwork and photgraphs have copyright attached at the moment of their creation, so each and every pic on this site is copyright by somebody somewhere. Eveidently the site owners don't believe in the rights of artists, therefore it's unlikely that my pictures will be appearing here again anytime soon. If you really want to see what the fuss is about, write me and I can point you to where you can view some of the works. |

I just saw the funniest profile in the world-and this is not unique, it's just the best example of unrealistic subs' expectations.
" Submissive female, 18, seeks MASTER 20-25 with LOTS of experience...must have at least 10 years in the scene or don't bother.
I mean, c'mon, how many 12-year olds has anyone ever seen up at TES? If ya want somebody your own age-great, pick up some guy at school. Ya want someone with experience, you have to take somebody who's been around long enough to get some experience!
The best part is this silly girl then gripes later about how the only responses she gets are from creepy old guys or clueless dorks. Gee, wonder why? |

Ah the eternal dilemna; to write people or wait for them to write first.
This came out of a conversation that I was in last week, where a group was debating protocols, but really doesn't have a satisfactory solution.
Half the group thinks that doms whould be approached by subs-the other vice-versa. Problem being, there are problems on both sides.
Doms approaching subs would seem to work with the personalities of each-active/passive-but here, for example, that means that each new sub female gets bombarded with dozens of emails from people, many of whom are basically mass-mailing a form note.
If it's up to subs to approach, then a whole lot of nothing is going to happen while the new, timid sub screws up the courage to approach a potential dom who she doesn't know if they'd be interested in her.
This assumes of course, that everyone knows what they're supposed to do in the first place! Usually, the whole mess starts looking like a sixth-grade dance, with eveyone lining up against the walls waiting for someone else to make a move.
It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Okay, new ground rules, since some people haven't learned any manners.
If you want to exchange mail, fine.
But if I say I'm not interested in talking with you any longer, then it ends. Likewise, don't send me any mail if you're going to evaporate one day and stop answering messages without so much as a goodbye. Manners and courtesy are not negotiable. |

Finally got around to updating the profile. I'm not shooting photos right now, I've moved on to video work, that's really interesting. My former partner still does photos though, interested people can inquire for contact info since it's not allowed to post here.
I'm just here to read the forums and chat with the folks I've met while here |
