Yes, I am a Dominant but also respected and known as Mentor by some within the lifestyle. I do come with references if needed for vetting a potential play partner. I have evolved over the years...into a much more loving, caring and forgiving parental role (caregiver) in the past 10 or so years. I was raised in a 1950 type household where my father and mother were a practicing BDSM couple in a D/s relationship. My father taught me from a young age to be a Dominant and I have been around the lifestyle my entire life. My younger years were hanging out with kinksters with who my parents were friends. There was nothing monogamous about their relationship and I was raised by various submissive’s that lived or frequently visited our strict household. I do have a need to control, but a Dominant always balances "control" of his submissive keeping a directive, to ensure safety and security always and meet the needs and desires of a submissive in his care. I care deeply for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of any submissive. I do have a type that I desire and love to mentor in D/s, namely someone who considers herself as a "little", “lg” who is either experienced in DD/lg or identifies just as a submissive. This would include those looking for training and education within the lifestyle in DD/lg or BDSM as a submissive… Distance is not an issue with the right submissive to meet. Just be serious and not waste my time nor will I waste yours. I can always host; I do own a beautiful home in NE Oklahoma on Ft Gibson Lake where you could visit or live sometime in the future after we meet and build trust and a connection. I'm comfortable in my household as I have everything needed to submerge a submissive into BDSM lifestyle. I own a humble but small business...have a lot of time at home as I can set my own schedule. I'm looking for a playful submissive who is seriously looking for training or a 24/7 D/s Dynamic. I don't do online so don't ask. I am financially secure and independent if that matters to you. I have a soft side, but I can push a submissive beyond soft limits, especially if she wants to explore other areas of the BDSM lifestyle. I do travel a lot and you can go with me, even when I work. I just returned from Palm Springs CA and the month before I was in Scottsdale AZ for two weeks. I fish, hike, hunt, camp out, ski and spend time with other like-minded kinksters at different events. I also am self-sufficient and have been taught to live off the land. I possess two Grad Degrees, MPH and MPA and sapiosexual and intelligence and intelligent conversations turn me on. Here is an opportunity to live your dream with a caring, loving, compassionate and intelligent/educated Dominant where your submission is earned and appreciated… Just moved from a location on West Coast I have lived for over 30 years. A very active Kink scene in Portland OR and Seattle WA. I am now in a rural area in Oklahoma and very conservative and not a lot of opportunities to be social with other kinksters. My play partner did not move with me after a 15-year D/s (light BDSM) relationship. In otherwards I am 100% single at this stage in my life. Being an older Dominant and identifying as a Daddy Dominant sometimes, let’s just say there’s not a lot of opportunities to find submissive’s or littles/middles who want or play and learn with an older experienced Dominant. Something OR Somewhere I would never think I would be in the lifestyle, older Dominant w/o a play partner or submissive... Looking for friends locally (NE Oklahoma/surrounding area), My Assets...
