It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.

One must do violence to the of ones desire when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.
Marquis De Sade

Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.
Marquis De Sade

How delicious to corrupt, to stifle all semblances of virtue and religion in that young heart!
Marquis De Sade

To suffer in love is to completely understand it.
Dr. Justin Hale

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I have come close enough to know that there is something to the spiritual side of leather.
Jack Rinella

Ive been involved with BDSM since my early twenties and in that time I have been lucky to be involved with several groups in the both the local and southeast community.
UnApologetically pagan. I identify as Druid but even following the rites and rituals of fellow practitioners my spiritually is very personal and accepting of other beliefs.
I was recently diagnosed with conditions I have suffered from and managed all my life with professional help maybe I can finally move from managing and surviving to living happily with and flourishing, even if this does come to pass I still cuddle with my demons and unleash the beast inside from time to time, Hes been leashed for far to long and Im waiting for his grow to pass my lips again.
At this point in my life I am looking forward to getting involved with the local community again and reacquainting myself with old friends and hopefully making new ones as well. I have resolved to be more open with people and make more of an effort to relate, so if you have questions feel free to ask. The only stupid question is one left unasked. So ask and Ill see if I have a matching answer.
For those who dont know me Im short, dark, and Scottish(complete with the kilts and everything). Although not directly from Scotland Im fourth generation. I am a logical meticulous thinker and a dreamer, I am both the slow subtle storm and the passionately violent hurricane, I am all the things that shouldnt exist together.

If youve made it this far I am looking for my goddess in chains. Tattoos not necessary but encouraged, more than a touch of geekiness needed. Open minded a requisite.
