http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=486920&page=submissionsThe stories tell you a little about who I am, but not that much, because they are fiction.Secondly, I cycle a lot, and sail and camp a bit; and walk, and climb hills. Active things, out of doors. If being out in the weather and getting wet and tired and dirty doesn't appeal to you then I'm probably the wrong person for you.Finally, I plant trees, and look after trees, with friends. Not a lot, these days, but it's important to me. I'm mostly a quiet and solitary person, but doing things with friends matters.Apart from that, I'm rather serious and thoughtful. I'm agnostic rather than atheist, but I'm strongly against most organised religion. I'm politically libertarian, fairly green and very left wing; within Scottish politics, I see the break up of the United Kingdom as a good thing (but mainly for geopolitical rather than domestic reasons). I enjoy thoughtful and reasoned discussion of these things. I read a lot, mainly fiction; I play and write role playing games on computers; I listen to Radio 4. I don't have (and don't want) a television.I'm a sensualist (obviously, or I wouldn't be here). I love to dance. I love the wild places of the world, particularly forests. I am a complex person, not fully the straightforward alpha-male dominant. I am often extremely gentle. I am possessive and protective. I am thoughtful in many senses of that word. But at the same time I am extremely interested in the theatre and performance of domination. A friend once described me as 'a mild, inoffensive sadist'. I enjoy tying women up for sex; I'm good with ropes, but also like leather. Extreme pain disturbs me and I'd need to feel very certain of my partner's consent before I would enjoy causing it; moderate pain I enjoy administering. For me, these things - bondage and pain - are playful, part of play, something I enjoy rather than something I am driven to or could not live without. But I'd rather remain celibate for the rest of my life than have a relationship with someone who preferred to have sex in the missionary position at night in bed with the light off.What I'm looking forI'm looking for someone - one someone, not several someones - to play with. I don't need anyone. I'm pretty happy as I am. Ideally, when I find that someone, I want our relationship to last as long as possible.Dominance is a relative thing. I do not want a slave. I am not going to take control of, or responsibility for, anyone's life. I want a friend who is my equal intellectually, who can challenge me in argument, who is her own person - but who enjoys playing at submission in a sexual context. In that context - the sexual context - I will demand (and offer) exclusive committment; and I will demand submission.I would enjoy her wearing the marks of ownership (a collar; in the long term, perhaps, a brand) but I would by no means insist on it - doing so would be her gift.The person I'm looking for is adult in the full sense of that term - her own person, with her own life. She might be an academic or an artist. She is certainly physically fit, and takes some regular exercise (if she were a cyclist that would be splendid). She might be small and light enough to be easily lifted. She loves the quiet, wild places of the world. Sexually, she is playful and imaginative. She enjoys outdoor sex; she enjoys being bound; she probably enjoys being spanked and might enjoy being beaten. She is probably not currently in a relationship with anyone else.
