Hello and welcome to my profile. :)

I am an experienced straight male Dominant, not actively seeking relationships, but I am open to friendships, play partners, and knowledge exchanges. If any of this interests you, please read the rest of this profile before sending me a message. I endeavour to reply to all messages sent, however please be patient as life can be busy at times.

Before describing what I seek, let me inform you of who I am. Although I am listed as Pantheras on this site and others, I am more commonly known simply by my first name, or as Master Mushu (yes, as in the little red dragon from Mulan). My involvement in the BDSM lifestyle dates back almost 15 years now and has been filled with quite a bit of adventure. In the past, I have periodically visited clubs and events within the cities of Ottawa, Hamilton, and Montréal, but generally avoided becoming a permanent member in any of these communities after seeing safety issues or witnessing the thickness of the politics that had been involved at the time.

Recently, something has changed and I am actively involved in supporting the community, particularly within Ottawa and Montréal. I have had many good discussions, met some very cool people, and attended some very good events that have me wanting to stay. In my exploration, I have grown quite a bit, becoming very comfortable with expressing my fantasies as well as aiding others in exploring theirs. In particular, I have interest in role play, interrogation, fantasy rape, kidnappings, and many forms of edge play including knife play (not to be confused with cutting), electrical play (with a violet wand, not a tens-unit), breath play, and fire play (as taught to me by the late Lord TZ of DSSG in Hamilton). I also have an affinity for bondage of many types, from rope (up to basic shibari which were taught by Midori via workshop and book, as well as through self-learning), duct tape (yum), scarves/ties, leather/metal cuffs, to pallet wrap (mummification is a relatively unexplored area for me), and all sorts of other things that aren't coming to mind right now. Yes, I enjoy the use of crosses, benches, tables, beds, limited suspension, and various other equipment.

The list goes on when you add sensory toys I suppose, notably flogging, paddling, spanking, scratching (and I have a set of silver claws that really enhance that experience), and soft/textured touch (by implement or body contact). Basically, I like to use a broad gamut of tools and scenarios to keep things diverse and fun. And I am quite devious, enjoying mind games, humiliation (not degradation), and dynamic use of toys (take my claws, put them in the freezer, then play with them on you until they warm up, and then, hmm... oh, let's connect to the violet wand now and run them all over your body again). To keep this from becoming a book, just know there are other methods and tools I enjoy using as well, but that my rush, the pleasure I feel, comes from the reaction and pleasure I give to the bottom or submissive that I am playing with or observing.

More important than what I do, is how I think and who I am. Patient, passionate, caring, and always willing to listen, I am a man that believes the power exchange to be a gift from an equal, not something I am entitled to take from someone lesser than me. I also ensure everything is safe, sane, consensual, discrete, and fun for all, fostering this through precaution, study, constant communication, and respect. Although I'm a joker and always seem to be laughing or telling a joke, I never laugh at someone's fantasy, someone's needs, or their secrets. Through this approach, I have had some wonderful experiences with some wonderful people and have greatly expanded the types of play I find safe and worthwhile. I always look forward to learning something new, exploring something fresh, or sharing what I've done with others.

Where I am in life is also important to pass on. I am poly, have a partner that I am very much in love with, and am involved with other partners in different fashions as well. If you're unclear as to how that works or even what I mean, don't hesitate to ask me. Note that I make time for all my partners, am honest and open with them, work from a moral and loyal fibre, and only engage with partners willing to do the same. I'm located within the city of Ottawa and am a writer/photographer who is reintegrating himself into the traditional workplace. I enjoy camping, especially in the winter, and annually visit a large pagan festival as a gathering of family and friends. I am a philosophical Buddhist (way of life, not a religion to me), laid-back, a goofball, a romantic, full of trivial knowledge, enjoy intellectual discourse, and am a gamer as well. I know how to be silly in a scene to enhance it, not ruin it, but I can also be intense and passionate, pleasantly harsh, and deliciously devious when its appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope that if it interested you, I'll hear from you soon. Regardless, cheers and happy hunting.
