Hello BDSM personals!

About me (not kinky):

I'm a 29 year old based in central Massachusetts who's hobbies include road biking, manga and anime, rock climbing (new for me and excited to explore it with someone!) literature, horror movies, art (creating and appreciating), and video games. In my professional life I work in health care. What I think I'd want someone reading my personal to know about me is that I'd describe myself as someone for whom emotional and intellectual connection and compatibility are both very important. I've spent a long time trying to decide if I lean more introvert or extrovert and I think I've finally decided I'm somewhere in the middle. I think I am a patient and empathetic person, and I really value empathy in the people I meet. If you'd like a physical description I'll first say I'm open to sending images after talking for a while via text and making sure we both feel comfortable enough with each other that we're real people and have some chemistry. Past that I'm a 5'10 Caucasian guy, brown hair and brown eyes, I do exercise and have a physique I'm getting happier with as my time at the gym goes on - I do have some weight I could stand to lose sitting on top said physique.

About me (Kinky edition):

I am new to the scene. I've attended a few munches over the years but life circumstance has kept me out of really exploring kink for a long time, but now I'm looking to see if I can't develop this side of myself. At this point I'd describe myself as a switch. There's a few different aspects of kink that I think draw me in in particular: the hedonistic side of things - I want to have vivid sensory experiences with kink. The honesty - I feel like two people getting kinky with each other are doing their best to approach each other openly and honestly without judgment about their desires, and I'm drawn to that openness. And the tasks - I'm a detail oriented person, I like to tinker and fiddle, and I feel like kink gives me an opportunity to express that side of myself in the bedroom. To talk specific kinks - with the disclaimer that most of these I have fantasized about but not had real life experience - bondage, hot wax, spanking, biting, hairpulling, gags, blindfolds, dirty talk.

What am I looking for?

First and foremost I don't feel I'm at a place in my life where right now I'm looking for my long term life partner. If that is what you are seeking I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I'm looking for a more casual connection that has the space in it to explore and let us both grow in understanding our kinky sides. I would still very much like to have an emotional connection, to get along outside of the bedroom and spend quality time together. What I would imagine this would look like is messaging and chatting first, just to see if it feels like we have any conversational chemistry, and then from there seeing if we feel like we are comfortable meeting for some casual non-kinky dates and seeing if that chemistry holds up in person.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this. If it peaks your interest please shoot me a message, and if not I hope you find someone who does tick your boxes.
