Hi,

Based on the responses I've received, I thought I would clarify a bit about my profile, why I'm here and what I'm looking for.

1. I am a straight woman.

2. I am very happily collared to a straight female dominant on the east coast. 

3. I'm not confused about my sexuality, nor is she. D/s and BDSM are about so much more than sex. If you don't understand that, we would not make a good match.

4. She is aware of, and understanding of my search.

I am looking for a man who lives nearby. Not as much for the bdsm or a power exchange as for the romance that I find myself missing. The reason I'm searching here rather than through a vanilla service is because I want to be open and honest about my personal relationships and my belief is that someone from a site like this will be more likely to understand and feel comfortable in this sort of situation.

I am not looking for a master.  I am not looking for a 24/7 relationship. For me, the ideal scenario would be to develop an understanding with a male dominant whose interests, both vanilla and bdsm coincide with mine. I would like to spend time together, not only in kink-related activities, but also in simple dating type ones.

Oh, one other unrelated thing. I don't do drugs, drink very lightly and typically only in social situations, however I am a smoker.

Thanks for taking the time to read my ramble.
