I’m a young looking 58 year old, great genes, white male, in Little Italy, New York City. I have been involved in the leather scene for about 15 years, although I have taken a break from it over the last 5 years. In the past I had the honor of serving Mistress Leslie Savage who taught me to honor my submission and embrace it. I'm sure she would give me a glowing recommendation if asked.

While I list myself as a switch, I am at heart a submissive. I enjoy topping from time to time but that is not where my heart truly is. So, as to me being submissive, I believe that means being more than a piece of furniture. I am a person with a sense of self, an intellectually curious and creative person with a good sense of humor and silliness. I seek one who appreciates that in the one that serves them. I believe in service. In many respects I think of myself as a samurai. The word samurai means "to serve". That does not mean I want to be nothing more than a chore boy. I am willing to submit to one who can respect me as a person. D/s without trust, respect and affection, is nothing more than abuse and while that can be fun for a while, who really wants a steady diet of that?

At present I'd like to at least find a play partner, someone to share the joys and fears (the good kind) of the leather world on a casual basis. Ideally, I’d like relationship with someone who I could submit to on a permanent basis.

As to the rest of me, I like to think that I am a well read, intelligent person. I have an eclectic taste in books and read everything from P.G. Wodehouse to Appian’s histories of Rome. I have a great love of history. One of the things I hope I’ve taken from my study of history is a sense of honor and loyalty to those I care about and from those who care about me.
