I need intimacy that goes beyond just sex. I need someone that I can connect to mentally and emotionally, someone I can hold without either of us just being another warm body.

I'm from the western Massachusetts area, and I really want to meet someone nearby.

I haven't been in any sort of real relationship in a few years now, I've gone on a few dates here and there but never made a connection. I'm a Dom (maybe switch?) and I want someone I can engage in that part of myself with, to take care of, and to pleasure, and to punish. My greatest pleasure is making sure my partner enjoys everything we do together, and I'll try almost anything once if my partner enjoys it. (I'll list whatever kinks i can personally think of below)

But the physical aspect just doesn't feel right, or nearly as enjoyable, if I don't feel truly care for a person. I need someone I can talk to and feel connected to, someone that makes me want to understand them and is willing to understand me. I need someone that can laugh with me, and enjoy time spent together doing anything. Someone who I can lay down with and hold, and feel not just a warm body, but true passion.

Now that doesn't mean I need someone who will absolutely fall in love with me, that connection can be a committed relationship, it can be just more than friends, or something else, I'm honestly open to anything, as long as your open to knowing one another, both physically, and mentally, so that when we bare ourselves to each other, it's more than just our bodies that we share.

Okay so as far as kinks, this is by no means a complete list, it's just the things I can think of off the top of my head that I've enjoyed at some point: DDLG, Bondage, CNC, roleplay, knife play, free use, scratching (you having sharp nails is a plus), biting, hickies/marking, spanking
