Hello redditors,

I find myself in the middle of being (i) not platonic or vanilla enough for a true platonic friendship, (ii) not dirty enough for a 24x7 master-slave dynamic. I love rope bondage. And I have been loving it for almost one-third my life now. So, it is important and almost a hobby at this point. If I had to choose between a romantic night and rope-bondage, as agonizing as the choice may be, I'd choose the latter. Of course, mixing the two and sharing it with you would be amazing :)!

Unfortunately, that someone has been hard to come by, in large part because I also love science! My particular interests have led me to move cities across my own country, and if the magistrates show mercy, I will be in Vienna, Austria for gradschool in another few months. I will be there for atleast 4 years to love science. And after that, may be more to love you! But really, given the niche interests I have developed, my fingers will remain crossed until I actually get my first job, and eventually, then, either I move out of academia or get a tenureship. Well, that's a bit too far into the future, but I'm just putting it out on the table if you want to discuss long term plans.

I love ropes, I love cuddling, I love light tickles and sensual play. So, all of that makes a long-distance relationship impossible! It's not that I fear I'll cheat, but just that I'd feel unloved - did I say touch and cuddles is a huge love-language for me? Yet, some of my best platonic friendships have been with people I have never met IRL! Turns out spending quality time together is another big way to feel loved for me. What's my idea of quality time?

The last but not the least third of my life centers around anime. I don't watch many. But the ones I love, I can love them for years! Usually, it's the characters and their dynamics I feel the love for. It's often times also the music! The current I'm in love with is Sword Art Online. I think it's more than a year now. I've watched others in the meanwhile - Kino No Tabi, Kara No Kyoukai or Garden of Sinners, Fairy Tail, Hunter x Hunter, Seven Deadly Sins aka Nanatsu no Taizai. And there are others like Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood I'd love to rewatch! And what better way to spend the weekend than being cuddled up, with one of us tied up, and watch anime :)? I'm open to non-anime content. I watched and loved Rain or Shine kdrama a few months ago. So, if you are more experienced with non-anime content, we can have an equivalent exchange - you watch shows I love and I watch the ones you love. It's of course negotiable, if you truly dislike some show, I'm not gonna force you to it, and likewise for me I hope. I'm also trying out JRPG lately, currently into Honkai: Star Rail but have also dabbled into Honkai Impact 3 before, so watching the other play while one of us is tied up is another activity I'm going to enjoy.

Now, watching anime or playing games doesn't need to be mixed with ropes. It can also be just another of our online activities! Others could include playing board games, or online versions of these. These could include both strategy as well as luck-based not-really-strategy ones just for the fun and banter. I've been into text-based bondage-centric roleplays aka collaborative story-writing before, but I'm also looking to get into DnD and table top RPGs. And may be combine them with anime. If you happen to be a grad student too, we could also just explain each other's niches to each other, trying not to make the other feel like idiots explaining stuff to each other!

Activities aside, I want to know you as a person. I want to know what makes you comfortable and I want to avoid what makes you uncomfortable. I want to surprise you with thoughtful acts and gifts or whatever it is you feel best loved with and brings a smile to your face. I identify as a gentle dom and switch, so I want to tease you only to make things more fun for you, and of course, I'm going to be enjoyed being teased by you. It doesn't necessarily have to be sexual, but that will probably always stay as a possibility since I have no intention to keep things purely platonic :). Although, mind you, I also identify as a demisexual. Even though, I'm okay practicing kinks with people I don't know too well, penetrative sex would be off-the-bat. Likewise, if you too are on the demi- spectrum, I'm okay taking things slow!

Hard limits off the top of my head: anal, scat, gore, excessive pain, mummification, 24x7 dynamics

So, if ropes and cuddles, and anime or science (technology or liberal arts!) are something you enjoy, feel free to send a message or chat request. And we can see where things go from there. Have a nice day!
