Good day, Ma'am, and I hope this finds you in good health.

Mentally, formatting this as something of an open letter just seems to be a logical concept. It lets me straighten out my thoughts and give me an idea of direction with what I'm saying. One of my worst feelings is that I've gone off and started rambling again - I hate answering machines because I always feel that way.

As I said above, I'm a man of 41 years age (as of this writing, rather freshly.) I've read r/Gentlefemdom for some time, and I seem to stand out from some of the stereotypes as I'm firstly, not a Femboy. I'm more the protective bulwark type out in public, one whom trouble tends to avoid, even though some trouble might be entertaining on occasion. I'm divorced, a 20 year marriage that left its share of scars and damage on my heart and mind. I wish I could say I knew my triggers intimately, but sadly, I'm still sweeping that minefield myself, but with enough mental discipline I manage to avoid serious problems when they're found. I do especially like the feeling of being a kept pet/person, not on the financial aspect, but just the psychological feeling of belonging. My limits are like my triggers, I know when I get close to them, but I also have not had them truly tested, and with somebody I trust, I would love nothing more than to explore them. Sadly, for my age I'm a bit of a tabula rasa, so to speak.

I'm generally quite calm, laid back, and easy-going on things. I used to be a lot more tense and easily agitated, but time and life smoothed that out of me.

Your age, your looks, your ethnicity, I see a complete kaleidoscope before me, a myriad of possibilities, and I hold no judgement on any of them. I am more attuned to the person beneath those factors, and the hand that touches me. It's who and how you approach me, more than any other factor, that finds my answer.

Of course, I would be more open to talk here first, and get to know you properly, before extending it further in-person. I'm old, and I do try to maintain some of the older methods of propriety on things. Chivalry isn't dead if I have a say in it.

Anyways, Ma'am, thankyou for taking the time to read this.
