I have had the literal pleasure of meeting many wonderful redditors over the years, for many different types of relationships, but this is my first time dipping my toes in this realm, based on what I've learned about myself. With that in mind, please excuse a bit of ignorance on my part, and I ask that you read this (very long) post in full, and respond only if you meet all the criteria please and thank you. I will immediately block anyone who does not comply.

What I now think I'm looking for in the long-term: on the face, I want to find my person, the ooey-gooey romance, I want to do the domestic song and dance of getting married and having kids, I want to share a passionate, fun, and fulfilling physical relationship with my partner, be deeply in love, and committed to our life together. But...I also want to be able to engage with others, myself, for purely sexual disciplined casual encounters. This does not necessarily have to be frequently or immediately exercised, but it needs to be on the table. And though I would welcome my partner's involvement in those encounters, I would not want him to have other partners of his own. I typically go for a pleasure-dom type and continue to deeply enjoy/seek this dynamic from potential partners.

About you:

• 25-38M
• Preferably local to New England, or at least willing to relocate as I own my home
• Single (no currently partnered folks)
• Will send a very thorough intro message followed soon after by a sfw photo
• Most likely racially white, sturdy/fit build, and conventionally attractive, well-dressed, and good hair. Not into piercings, excessive tattoos, excessive facial hair.
• Educated/intelligent/erudite (above a bachelor's)
• Ambitious with a successful and stable career. Probably in STEM.
• Good conversationalist with a really solid sense of humor and interests, passions, and hobbies. Not into gamers or anime enthusiasts, sorry.
• Politically liberal, feminist, anti-racist, and all that good stuff
• Highly affectionate in all ways
• Good communicator with emotional intelligence. Points if you're happily in therapy as well.
• Sexually: above average endowment (please just be fucking honest), extremely skilled in pleasure as well as consent and care.

About Me:

• White, blonde, blue eyes, average height, curvy and chubby, well-proportioned, generally considered quite attractive
• Well-educated young professional with a very stable career
• Atheist/anti-theist, prefer you be as well, or at least agnostic or uninterested in faith.
• Initially somewhat shy/introverted. An extroverted partner historically balances me well. I am quite chatty though, as well as witty.
• Highly affectionate, and has often felt that I cared more than past partners. Looking for someone that makes an equal effort to make me feel loved. I'm not super needy and codependent, and I enjoy my personal time, but I still like to feel deeply understood, supported, loved, and desired.
• Enjoys literature, travel, good food (cooking or restaurants), intellectual stimulation, time spent with animals or children, good coffee, naps, and work-life balance.

Feel free to ask anything else!
