I'm a successful, divorced, progressive-minded, fun-loving businessman living and working in Manhattan. I have an intellectual bent (two graduate degrees from the University of Chicago). I possess a very strong-willed, yet caring and sensitive temperament.

I want an intense romance with an energetic, literate woman in the NYC area who has a high-voltage intellect, passion for living and good nature. She is physically attractive -- curvaceous, sensual and preferably petite. She may be single or married. She is not passive. In the bedroom, she really enjoys whatever is fun yet safe. She believes as I do that D/s is a mental activity whose objective is real intimacy by creating trust and breaking down barriers. It is not mean or violent (although a little spanking can go a long way). She craves to express her submissive nature as much as I crave to express my dominant essence, by seeking to please me and take my instruction. That I make decisions for her will come as a great relief. To fulfill her need to be taken care of, to be owned, excites me so.
