I view the physical as a means to satisfy the emotional and psychological aspects of play and domination. As with many things in life, it isn't about the destination, but rather the journey that gets you to there. I am dominate in the scene but am sensitive and considerate outside of the scene.
I am patient, and fully understand the need, especially in a relationship that involves BDSM to consider my partner's need to develop trust and confidence.
I particularly like play with spanking as a major part of it, but most anything is open to discussion and exploration. My profile lists my interests or areas I am most willing to explore, not a list of expected activities.
I enjoy travelling, I square dance, I have participated in martial arts (Aikido, but not for a few years and Judo many years ago). I prefer the history channel, PBS, discovery channel, and news channels over most others, but enjoy Law and Order (the original -- not the spinoffs), Boston Legal, House, and John Stewart/Colbert Report. I like mysteries, action movies, comedies, romances, and don't like horror, much science fiction, and most dealing with the supernatural/ghosts, etc.
I have travelled extensively throughout Western Europe, the Far East, "down under" and have lived in two different countries.
I try to be an ethical person in all aspects of my life, but don't claim to ethical -- because doing that means that you have arrived and ethics is about trying to do the right thing even if you don't always succeed.
