As I stated in my profile, I'm interested in creating a relationship deeply grounded in a mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and sexual connection which includes, but is not completely defined by, a D/s dynamic.

- I believe in equality of individuals but clarity of roles.

- I believe both Dominant and submissive are servants in their own way.

 - I believe friendship, mutual respect, a common view of life, and common goals are the foundation of any long-term relationship.

- I believe kink, rough sex, and exploring limits can be fun, but more importantly are a workshop for developing trust and understanding.

- I believe communication is absolutely paramount, and requires both parties to value clarity and truthfulness. And don't say you can't communicate because you're an Introvert; I'm an INFP (if you're into the whole Myers-Briggs thing). If we're considering a relationship, I'll not make Dominant-type requests of you prior to reaching some common understandings and agreements. Our initial meeting - or meetings, until you reach a level of comfort with and trust in me - will be a date, not a test drive.

I am first and foremost a gentleman until it is no longer appropriate to behave strictly in a gentlemanly manner.

I'm primarily a Mentor/Teacher/Daddy/Sensei type of Dom. Don't assume from that, however, that I am either unwilling or unable to be extreme should extreme be called for.
