Hi everyone! I'm a tall (6'4"), gainfully employed, and reasonably athletic guy living in DC. I've tried this a couple times and have had some luck, but am giving this shot again.

Outside of the bedroom I enjoy the outdoors, skiing, running, board games, new restaurants, and cooking. I tend to fall into endless Wikipedia rabbit holes and get along great with curious individuals who are passionate about learning new things. That said, I'm more extroverted than introverted and try to maintain an active social life. I've also traveled to 20 countries and am always looking to swap stories. Postgrad educated but believe credentialism is silly.

In the bedroom, I'm looking for a partner who craves the submissive role, is eager to please, and enjoys a structured but caring dynamic. I like lists and rules and appropriate punishments when broken, but not looking for brats who disobey for the fun of it. I also enjoy restraints and have a decent collection going, if you're interested. In summary I'm a soft dom with a rough side. Happy to share more if we chat.

I have experience in both vanilla and non-vanilla relationships, but I've now realized a d/s dynamic is required for my personal fulfillment. Over time I've found the value of being up-front with my desires rather than rolling the dice. While I work relatively long hours, I believe in prioritizing personal relationships - both romantic and platonic - and will always find time for those I care about.

Ideally I'm looking for someone around my age but am open to a wider range as long as we have a good connection. Having an active and healthy lifestyle is important to me as well. Bonus points if you're into fantasy or science fiction. Appearance-wise I am white with brown eyes and curly hair. I workout semi-regularly and am fairly trim.

If you're still reading at this point and are interested, shoot me a PM directly!
