..longevity. Is it possible to find all three?

How difficult is this next bit? Describing oneself is always tricky; succinctly conveying one's attachment to kink more so. The permutations too; do I lead with person or pervery? Try to be humorous or keep it straight? But enough. What follows is, at least for now, an accurate picture of who I am & where I'm at

I identify more with D/s than s&m in that it's the psychological that I find fulfilling; the meeting of minds and shared acknowledgement that one has captured the other and is free to utilise it however she wishes. I do love the physical aspect of kink and understand that it can intensify the dynamic, it's just that I feel its essentially an outward expression of it.

While my submissiveness isn't the sum of my personality it is an intrinsic element of it. I can best summarise its meaning for me as a profound need to surrender control; to serve and to please.

“The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons” ..I think Aristotle had an accurate take on the submissive mindset.

The rest of me is a fit, attractive, reasonably intelligent male currently living in Bristol. I work in the public sector and am slowly inching my way towards managing a better work-life balance. I don't find it easy to describe myself as I often feel I'm a walking collection of contradictions. Is it just me that secretly feels this or do most people?? But that I'm friendly, sociable and optimistic are pretty much constants.

While identifying as submissive I am not a doormat. I am not compliant in my everyday life and while, for the right person, I will happily serve and endure I have my own thoughts, ideas and opinions. I am drawn to people that like to talk and laugh and are reasonably confident. I hope to meet someone fun, interesting and cultured who, in terms of a relationship, happens to want the flip side of what I'm looking for. Someone that will cherish and nurture my submission.

A random list of some stuff I like; walking, the countryside, empty beaches, thunderstorms, snow, theatre, politics, psychology, coffee, country churches, The Sopranos, running in the rain, conversation, courtesy, confidence, The Office, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, The Prodigy, Laurel & Hardy Some things I don't; early mornings, rudeness, reactionary newspapers..
