4/23/2011 7:01:52 PM:   Well, I just ran into a really good description of submissive, which I'll quote here: I am submissive. I am not a switch. I am not a slave. My desire is to provide pleasure to and take care of, and relinquish control to, others. I do not want to be *air quotes* a slave, because most people aren't ready for the responsibility that requires on their part, to be wholly accountable for someone's physical and mental well-being. In my opinion, it's essentially the BDSM version of marriage- for most completely unnecessary, for many completely inadvisable. On the other hand, I feel secure and comfortable when someone else takes over responsibility for my body. Something to meditate on.

3/26/2011 8:08:59 PM: So I've decided that I should re-write my profile.  Here's the old one, if you care to give a read.  My apologies for the awful formatting, the editors just don't seem to allow control of line breaks with any degree of precision ... Welcome to my little virtual self description.  Like most men, I don't write nearly as well as I aught; ergo, take what you read with a little salt. Let me start off by observing that I am seeking a real relationship.  If you want to hook up and play, I'm fine with that, please be clear with me about your desires and expectations. Much of how I will treat you depends on my mood.  Some days I am very intense, others I just need to be cared for, still others I just need to sit and talk about simple things. I can hold you, I can scold you, I can spank you, and I can hurt you - depending on our relationship.  That mutual knowledge and trust comes from communication.  Communication takes practice and mistakes.  Are you willing to take that risk? My style of command is results oriented.  Generally, I will tell you what I want you to do, and not how to do it.  Having said that, I am picky about how certain things are to be done, as my experience is that my way gives the best results.  I'm reasonable - do it my way, and don't give me grief. As for me, I'm mostly laid back, but I do get up-tight at times and about certain things.  Perhaps the best description is that I'm an unconventional person, who is a bit difficult to understand. The role I enjoy best is half friend, half playmate, half lover, and another half friend.  I know that's a lot to want/offer.  I do not want to live your life, any more than you want to live mine.  What I do like and seek is that happy, comfortable common ground shared between us.  Yes, the final decision is mine.  However, discussion is sometimes necessary to find the best solution.  Whatever 'best' may mean. I am looking to find a girl who is compatible with me.  Meaning that we are intellectually, emotionally, physically, and sexually compatible.  If in doubt, send a note and we'll chat.  Who knows?  We might decide that we like each other enough to carry forward. Hopefully my profile gives you hit of what I'm like, and my expectations, so you can decide for yourself if it's worth the time to see if we are compatible. Folks from outside the U.S. - if you send me a note, please do tell me why you contacted me. Otherwise, your message just goes straight to the bin.

4/5/2010 5:32:37 AM: I am amused at the jokers/pfishers/arses who think that putting up a very-low quality photograph with contradictory information and a text blurb that paraphrases as 'I'm new to BDSM, come teach me'.  C'mmon idiots, tall and skinny is one thing, but 115 pounds at six feet doesn't begin to approximate that photo.Yes, we are guys ... yes, we are driven by our libidos ... but what the hell do you expect to accomplish.  At least pfish with a little more pride.Faugh, I'm in a foul mood this morning.
