I've been on scene now since the beginning of 2000. I have had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people, and carrying out my darkest deepest fantasies. Obviously it hasn't always been a smooth ride, but i have been lucky with the relationships that i've had, very lucky indeed.

When i originally came onto the fetish scene it was with a view to finding a like minded girl, leading to a monogamous relationship. I have had a lot of fun, and was in a great relationship until I got ill with M.E. in September 2002. It has been quite a tough period for me, but now i'm trying to get back out there.

Although i have enjoyed, and won't rule out casual play. I am now beginning to start thinking about a serious relationship again. That's why i came onto the fetish scene in the first place, and that's what I deserve.

During my scene hiatus, i have been going to see lots of live music again. It is quite a good thing to do when you have no energy. Get on train, go to venue, sit down and relax. Mainly dark acoustic and experimental music, although i do like upbeat guitar music like sons and daughters, and 80s matchbox b-line disaster. Kind of alternative melodic guitar.

Since i started gigging again in Nov 2006 i have had a real kick start to recovery. I've really enjoyed getting out and playing again. I've met a lot of great people (Even if they are all vanilla)

When i came on scene i would describe myself as a switch. In real terms when i look back to the year 2000 i was 60% sub/40% Dom. So much has happened in the last seven years, i've experienced so much. My last two scene girlfriend's have been subs and it has changed everything. I would now say that i am still a switch, but i'm 70% Dom/30% sub. I think the whole thing is about chemistry. There are occasionally still women that make me feel submissive, and there are also girls that i'd like to grab by their hair and just TAKE! Girls that are so beautifully submissive that just turn me on, and empower me.

Here are a few artists whose music i could not live without............ .. ..

Acoustic music: Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, Kate Bush, Loenard Cohen, Nick Drake, Merz, Kristen Hersh (my hero!) Lori Carson, Patrick wolfe

Rock: Nirvana, Early U2, Early R.E.M, QOTSA, Interpol, Throwing Muses, RATM, Radiohead, Radio dept, Sonic youth, Pixies, Cure, Talking Heads, NIN, MUSE!!!!

Other: Scout Nibblett, Anja Garbarek, Bjork, Klima, Peter Gabriel, The knife(I love theses people- Fantastic from Sweden), Radio Dept, Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard, eno

Anyway, bye for now. If you're bored take a listen to some of my music. Some of it is fetish related. "A womans Touch" is unashamedly a fetish song. I have one more which i'm trying to finish for my new album. God knows when it will be finished.
