Hey everyone, I know it's a long-shot ... but I'm looking for something meaningful but with a kinky flavour, and gotta give myself a chance. So strap-in (wink wink) for my novella:

About Me:

A bit about me is I'm a 29 year old male, I own and operate a design agency, and I currently live in Croatia. Other than that, I generally have the freedom to work remotely so location isn't an issue from that perspective, although I have this unfortunate habit/necessity of working a lot (50-60 hours most weeks). I currently split most of my time between Croatia and Canada for family reasons (I'm half Croatian, half Canadian).

As a person I'm very physically affectionate and sensual, despite my traditionally masculine presentation that comes with a beard, athletic build, and healthy dose of tattoos (working towards a partial Japanese body suit). I'm not the tallest dude I'm somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10 with an athletic build (broad shoulders-narrow waist), and I come in pretty good shape (I'm getting back to lifting weights 4-5x a week and running 3-4x a week). I have short dark brown hair with some grey speckled in, usually keep a short-to-medium length beard, and have a very dark body hair that covers my arms, legs, and chest. I've got hazel green eyes which range from light olive coloured to dark brown depending on the light and season.

Hobbies/Interests:
Outside of work you can find me tinkering with new pizza recipes (I recently got a pizza oven and am very into it lol), reading– mostly nonfiction, but have a strong appreciation for fiction, going to art galleries/exhibitions/museums, attending concerts, going to the movies, watching whatever HBO show I'm obsessed with, catching a sunset/lounging at the beach, swimming, playing ps5 sometimes when I get hooked on a great game, and/or watching boxing or tennis.

What I'm looking for:
I am definitely seeking a connection where we both get to explore and see how it develops, particularly as it pertains to our roles. If we really click I'd really love for it to lead to an LTR, in whatever shape that looks. I've had an interest in femdom and am only starting now to explore it. I kinda wanna have a normal life on the outside but kinky when it's appropriate and fitting. I really tend to gravitate towards more GFD but am definitely open as to what shape the dynamic takes. I like the emotional intimacy of GFD where you expose the most animalistic and kinky side of yourselves only to be embraced in love, warm, and comfort at the end.

Kinky me:
In terms of kinks, and embracing a subby role, I think I seek submission as a reprieve from day-to-day life. I am naturally a heavy introvert, but both in my social setting, work, and previous relationships I'm often assigned or take up the role of being a leader. Part of my daily job was and still is in a different context managing & advising executives and other decision makers, as well as managing my own team internally. Friends and even roommates are surprised to hear when I tell them I'm an introvert. This means that I regularly need time to decompress and have my own time. I would love to submit for hours or days at a time, as it's also time that I'm not in control and can more or less go along for the ride as someone else is driving. That being said as kinky as I am and would love to be, I don't want it to be the sole defining feature of a life as I've got plenty of other interests as well.

On a kinky level, I think you'll be happy to know that I'm quite pliable! A list of things that I'm very much into as far as I know (definitely not exhaustive) would be edging, tease and denial, ruined orgasms, forced orgasms, post-orgasm torture, bondage, ropes, light pain/cbt (love me a nice endorphin rush), all manner of body worship, foot rubs/worship, being called a good-boy/praise kink, calling the domme mommy or daddy (only if they are into it!), face-sitting, smothering, CEI/snowballing (super, super hot), being dressed up in your panties/stockings/nylons, discrete public play and some verbal degradation can be great too. I'm also really curious about trying some chastity, pegging, collars (really want to try being collared and leashed), trying plugs and other anal training, as well as sensory deprivation/stimulation. Also not sure if it counts but I also really love erotic hypnosis and asmr. Hard limits of mine would be pretty normal/vanilla things like not getting shat on and anything overtly humiliating in public?

Closing thoughts:
I would say I still romanticize many things in life and am more than likely to be romantic in a relationship as it's something I don't believe a relationship should go without. I'm romantic in both your typical sappy ways and also in terms of small gestures. Passion and satisfying my partner is my love language. Would love someone to travel with, have little and big adventures together, share incredible experiences of all ilks, just genuinely be amazing life partners while also being kinky af!
