Bi, married, father, non-drinker, teacher, cat friend, based in Ghent -- CET 1.

Into symbols and esp. languages. Daydreaming about purple thunderbolts, double rainbows, and sunsets on pinewood lakes. Valuing nature in all its diversity and humans in their glory, but as far as my taste for men goes, I have a weakness for beards, stubbles, body hair and especially furry chests.

Prefer relaxed fika over crowded clubbing or boozed bars. Enjoy the feel and smell of books, with an interest ranging from the work of Umberto Eco over Mo Hayder and Murakami Haruki to even Esther Perel. Lately escaping daily life by watching --mostly but not exclusively Nordic/Scandi-- crime shows such as Trapped, The Valhalla Murders, Sorjonen, Karppi, Fallet, Midnattsol, and The Serpent; historical dramas, including Peaky Blinders, Black Sails, Vikings, The Borgias, and Versailles; some HBO productions such as Looking, Chernobyl, and GOT, as well as other epic fantasy series, e.g. His Dark Materials and The Shannara Chronicles.

Looking to establish a loving connection with a man. To me that is more (and/or can be something else) than just physical attraction and sex: it's a genuine willingness to discover each other as a unique person. It's about building a safe space of trust, in which it is ok to be and reveal ourselves not merely in a literal way. It’s a story of feeling involved in each other’s world, and a commitment of really wanting to be there for each other. In short, NSA/hookups are not my thing, and in order to make me tick, connection is key!

Open to ethical/consensual forms of non-monogamy only: whatever may grow between us, always happens with the knowledge and consent of my nesting partner, as well as your other partner(s), if applicable.

Also, I really love the concept of ‘kitchen table poly' because open communication between all partners involved allows everyone’s needs to be taken into consideration. So, if you already have (an)other relationship(s), at one point you may be open to introduce me to your loved one(s), and conversely, over time you may perhaps also be interested to get to know my nesting partner.

How does this resonate with you? Hit me up, and let’s find out if there’s a mutual spark...

Please refrain from contacting me if (1) you’re just looking for sex, and (2) tell yourself that you need alcohol, other narcotic substances and/or booster drugs in order to enjoy life, including spending time with other people.
