As of March 2023…
Single, divorced/widowed I am a fully vaccinated and totally STD-free dominant who favors time for the kind of vanilla dates where people actually get to know one another as people.
Many posters and respondents here seem focused on the sexual component. There’s nothing wrong with sex but I prefer a multi-faceted relationship.
In “lifestyle” matters I see “corporal play” (floggers, canes, single tails and the like) and “interrogation” as gateways that can lead to subspace.
Many seem to fear “pain” but we should consider :
One of the joys of corporal is in “working through the pain until it becomes pleasure.”
While administering pain is one thing, I do not approve of doing damage. Hopefully a partner is confident with that after getting to know me.
I'd like to be the person who releases your endorphins as you bathe in subspace.
I own my home on 14 acres of woodlands (with trails, see below), on my own road with a locked gate. It’s very private here, I have no casual visitors and neighbors are few and far between.
I have indoor and outdoor BDSM-related facilities. I am confident in comparing it to anyone else's home dungeon (as opposed to "commercial" space). I also have a whole house sound system that feels just right for the musician in me.
Interests unlikely to occur (but a guy can dream) include:
"Pony-play" which involves emotional submission but as well a submissive’s physical training (endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility). The initial goal is to pull a cart and rider. The ultimate goal is to race with a cart and rider to win.
It might be important for you to know that:
I am not a Trump supporter.
I'm not a smoker of anything and I do mind if you smoke anything around me.
I care deeply for others.
I am not a climate denier mostly because climate change is real and I have two adult children (in other areas of the USA who do not live with me) whose future I value.
Other facts:
Active in the lifestyle since the late 1990's in Upstate New York where I received my initial training.
(I know: who gets trained any more before self-defining as a Dominant, right ?)
Relocated to the North Carolina Coast in 2011, then to the North Carolina mountains in 2013.
I’m “allergic” to unplanned damage of others causing unplanned trips to the hospital, unplanned visits with the Police, unplanned permanent marks etc. A submissive individual can feel comfortable in my level of safety first.
I am physically clean. It has been pointed out that I am always washing my hands, that I wear Nitrile Exam Gloves, etc.
I’m a very rare drinker, perhaps the occasional glass of wine or beer with dinner.
Fun fact:
I can moderately speak French but can't read or write it worth a damn.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to your response and questions.
