| I recently took early retirement from a college teaching career which took most of my time but now I'm free. I've been involved in D/s for 20+ years although it was part-time when time allowed. Now I'm finding that I actually need a monogamous, committed, LTR for many reasons but one important reason is that providing direction and structure to a woman actually structures my own life - gives me meaning. My interests involve protocol, rituals, and the provision of structure. My objective is always the welfare of my partner. In fact, my favorite definition of Love is "a willingness to extend oneself for the purpose of enhancing the growth of one's partner". I think of myself not in terms of average but as balanced. I'm not into extremes yet I'm receptive to trying almost anything that's legal and non-injurious. I used to teach a course in Human Sexuality so am probably a little more knowledgeable than many other guys.
D/s isn't something I "do" on a weekend. Rather, to me, it's a natural component interwoven into a relationship between two consenting adults and that adult, for me, is a vibrant, alluring, intelligent woman of middle age. I'm just not into arm candy nor am I attempting to recapture my youth. Instead, I want a woman with some life experience who can chuckle at life's challenges and savor life's wonderment. I'm seeking a woman who desires and needs to her very core an old-fashioned relationship where each partner has a clear role. I will listen to you, take your point of view into consideration, and then make a decision regarding the issue being discussed. Also, I'd be willing to discuss the possibility of a M/s relationship although it would be a learning experience for me.
I have a wide range of interests I'd like to share with a partner and I'd like to share your interests. I love anything dealing with the water - swim, kayak, SCUBA. I enjoy weekend spontaneous trips to unknown places on back roads. And music such as blues, classical, folk, bluegrass. Horse trail riding, hiking, motorcycle, classic convertible, concerts, plays. And the visual arts.
As to how D/s is expressed in a relationship I'll leave to later discussion. Since I have a lovely home in a fantastic, artsy, coastal town I really can't relocate right now although I'd think about it when the economy recovers enough to sell a house. I enjoy a comfortable lifestyle which I'd like to share but I'm not in a position to be anyone's Sugar Daddy.
I prefer not to post a photo but I do include several in correspondence and I always respond to messages because that's what men who respect women do.
