Hi. I'm a 40 year old guy... kind of shy, though able to assert myself when needed.

I love to submit and submit quite easily in the bedroom. Getting to the bedroom requires more of a connection, though. I can't just submit to anyone, for it's own sake. I need to care about the person and feel some kind of connection. I'm open to having a play partner, though long-term I seek an LTR (is that redundant?). Ideally it would be an organic and natural blend of the vanilla and bdsm world.

I'd be happy to send along a picture of myself if you are interested; I'm 6'1" (typing heights always makes me think of Spinal Tap and Lil Stonehenges) and 195 pounds, brown hair and really nice blue eyes (so they tell me). I wear glasses and fluctuate between a goatee, beard and scruffy-looking unshaven.

I love bondage; I find it intensely erotic and, under the right circumstances, very peaceful and calming. I love to give up control; I have limits, but like to have them pushed. When I'm in a relationship with a woman, I can become obsessed with her. All I want to do is spend time with her, be in her presence, make her happy, be told I'm a "good boy (big turn-on)," etc. This hasn't always worked well in vanilla relationships, but I think it's kinda perfectly suited for a Domme who would like to be worshipped by me.

On the vanilla side of life... I'm a pretty normal, intelligent, down to earth kind of guy. I can be childlike and silly; I have a good sense of humor and never really wanted to grow up (age play kind of creeps me out, but I can't deny that there is a motherly quality in a Domme that I'm drawn to. I've never actually participated in puppy play, but I find the "puppy" mentally to be a pretty good match to the kind of submissive I am. I like to have my head rubbed and nuzzle and cuddle, I'm eager to please and live for that above-mentioned "good boy.")

On the switch side, I'm not the naturally dominant type that most submissives are seeking. Like I said, I love bondage and nothing turns me on more than having a woman tied up before me. If switching, my form of domination tends more towards the subtle, sensual, playful type. And lots and lots of bondage. :)
