The world of kink contains a myriad of overlapping identities. They can be a useful shorthand for understanding someone's desires but run the risk of caricature when relied on too heavily. So instead I'll try and focus on the actions and activities that bring me joy and gratification. In regards to indenties, I am a cis male white and 40. I play and have sex with men, women, non binary and trans people. I mainly form romantic attachments with female identified people though I am open to other experiences. For most of my adult life, I have practiced ethical non monogamy. I am open to engaging with people of all legal ages and experience levels, though I tend to want to play intensely and try to be responsible in how I play with people new to kink. If you're new to this and want to play with me, be aware that you're jumping into the pool at the deep end. I disproportionally engage as a top. I like to hit people. The delivery of pain is my primary, though not my exclusive tool. The quality of my attention gravitates heavily towards the dominant role. Though I will happily switch if I find someone who I can learn from by doing so. In practice, it happens quite rarely. I have been involved in kink privately and publicly since my twenties. In those years, I have learned from my own mistakes and those of others. Though I'm certain there will be more errors in the future, I hope they will be smaller and of less consequence. Those past mistakes help to clarify my current risk profile when I play. I value risk aware consentual kink.
