Good evening, readers! I spent some time recently writing replies to posts here and thought why not put it to broader use.

I'm a 28 year old guy from Northern New Mexico (with some flexibility on distance as long as we have a plan to see each other frequently and close the distance reasonably soon). I am an experienced if slightly rusty dominant who is both deeply sadistic and profoundly caring. I am in touch with my emotions, kind, patient, and curious. I'm the kind of person friends turn to for a calming presence and steady hand in difficult times. I do my best not to take myself, or life, too seriously. Life is about having fun with people you care about, in my opinion, and I would like to find a partner who wants to have lots of fun, laugh with and at each other, and generally enjoy life.

I'm looking for a long-term, serious, in-person (eventually, obviously) relationship. I have a career and intend to stay in my current role for another two years or so, with the plan of finding remote work after that. I would like to stay along the Rockies, but am more than open to the idea of splitting time between the mountains and a beach (or lake). I am working towards early retirement and childfree.

I enjoy eager, intelligent partners who have their own personality (but who want to be broken down, at least in private). I am very open minded, somewhat hedonistic, and simply enjoy the connection and trust involved in passionate, rough, kinky activities of all persuasions. I enjoy control in all its forms, and particularly enjoy enforcing the rules of our negotiated dynamic. My interests/desires in the bedroom are firmly rooted in ownership/power exchange and control. Impact play, breath play, CNC/freeuse, orgasm control, service (sexual and domestic), toys, creampies/breeding, anal/throat training, watersports (I recognize this is a limit for you, which isn't a problem), sloppy throatfucking, manhandling, and cuddles (before and after we clean up the mess I make of you) are all some of my favorites (though certainly not requirements).

I am physically imposing at 6'1", 240lb, with broad shoulders, a beard (when I don't have to shave for work), and dark (mixed white/middle eastern) features. I enjoy cycling, powerlifting, yoga, hiking, and snowboarding. I'm a punk at heart, but am outwardly a chickenshit conformist these days. I consider myself to hold progressive principles and do everything I can to give voice to the underrepresented. I love reading nonfiction books and consuming borderline sophomoric comedy (e.g. IASIP, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bob's Burgers, Workaholics, etc.). I also enjoy working with my hands (e.g. woodworking, metalworking, car/bike maintenance, home improvement).

Ideally you are (among other things):

• An unabashed goofball
• Childfree
• Working towards early retirement
• 23-35 years old
• Live an active lifestyle and enjoy the outdoors

I'm sure I've left many details out, but it's more fun to learn those as we go, anyway. Hopefully I've caught your eye - I'd love to get to know you.
