My rules:

• I won't chat on Yahoo until I'm ready.
• I won't give you my phone number.
• I won't cam for just anyone.
• I'm done fucking around with game players and fakes.  Are you real?  Prove it.

Yes, I understand that people (women) want to be careful about who they're talking to online.  And yes, I know that there are a lot of men posing as women on CM.  So I will voice verify.  I will prove that I am who I say I am.  But I won't do it within 5 minutes of meeting you.  If that means you give up on getting to know me, so be it.  I'm cautious, but I still trust people.  Have some faith and for fuck's sake, chill out!

I ask a lot of questions because I really want to know the answers.  I don't expect a sub or slave to be brain dead.  I want you to be able to think.  And to tell me what you're thinking, when I ask.  If you can't do that, we're not going to work. 

This is an excellent article to read.  For anyone, not just submissives.  It's not just a quiz - you'll have to truly think about your answers.

Yes, I'm married.  He's in the lifestyle, too, and knows about this profile.  In fact, he has a profile here as well.  You can find him at tomPDX.  Sometimes we play together, sometimes we don't.  

Being a Dom to a young, attractive woman must be a very dangerous profession.  So many seem to die suddenly!  (That was sarcasm, in case you were wondering.)

Although my biggest pet peeve is people who are 20-25 and claim to have been in "the lifestyle" for 10-15 years.  Either you're lying, were abused, or were an extremely sexually precocious 10 year old.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you or the facts.  I'm just skeptical that there are that many people who were introduced to BDSM at such a young age.

Let me make something very clear: I won't dominate you financially.  Either online or in person.  I don't want you to pay me.  And I won't pay you.  If money changes hands, that makes it prostitution (in my book, anyway).  While that may be a fun role-play scenario, it's not something I'll do in real life.  

If things work out between you and me, I expect you to have a job.  I won't support you financially.  My husband and I both work, you'll do the same.  

I completely understand wanting to be supported and taken care of.  If you can find someone to do that for you, fantastic.  It's just not me.
