Into: Bikes, Music, Scuba, Dancing, Art, Design, Photography, History, Travel, Science and Technology, Markets, Museums, Mountains, Deserts, ...etc.

I wish the favourite fetishes multiple choice page offered more than tick boxes, there are some things I'm not very into but enjoy if someone else is into them, some things I'd be willing to try, and other things that leave me cold. Even the things that get ticked vary between really into and moderately enjoy. I'm interested in exploring my sub side, although I am not really a sub. I'm not sure I'm really a Dom either, just kinky I guess.

Ex academic, Consultant Engineer. Drink moderately, don't smoke, don't do drugs (no more, Lord, praise be hallelujah)

Education: Anglo-French, degrees in Science, Design and Engineering. PhD in Applied Thermodynamics.

I work mainly in London, but travel a lot and have spent a number of years abroad (France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, USA, Australia).

I realise that post-45 the chances of settling down, marrying and having kids with one's perfect partner head towards zero, but I still like the idea of it.

I work too much but would like to do more socially. I have a number of friends and play-partners on the scene, but I am interested in meeting up with compatible people occasionally to do vanilla stuff, e.g. - dancing, live music, jamming, picnics, markets, galleries, etc.

I don't think of myself as a Dom, more that BDSM is a game that I enjoy playing. Definitely not 24/7 or lifestyle. In my teens/20's I was more switchy but tended to be in the Dom role more and more as time went on. Maybe I should try subbing again, it used to be quite fun.

Happy to socialise, will play with friends but have to like and respect you first... well, usually,...oh, go on then.

My "Network Strategy" is pretty random. There are some people on it that I hardly know, while other long term friends aren't on it. Don't assume that because someone is on my network it is some kind of endorsement of them.
