I am a gentle, caring, dominant man with many years of experience in the BDSM community who knows what he wants. I am not domineering, I am dominant. The difference is an important one for the trust and relationship to grow. I view my submissive as someone to be cherished, cared for, protected and nurtured, to be guided to grow to their fullest potential as a per. I can be firm when needed but am never cruel. I am looking for a Submissive and hope that in due time the beautiful flower of our connection will blossom into a long term relationship. Judge me on what I do and who I am. The rest is the mystery of discovery. Come discover the mysteries with me… It is my experience and philosophy that a Dominant/Master, one that is dedicated to tranquility and harmony, will have a relationship founded on mutual love and respect. Dominants with this mindset/philosophy find no need to talk down to their Submissive/Slave. They see them as the truly wonderful per they are. Each one unique and special, a living human being with desires and needs of their own, to be cherished and cared for. The Dominant/Master earns Respect, not demanding it, by naturally being who they are. Respect is given by the Submissive/Slave because they have sensed this, “loving leadership and have been treated with honor and mutual respect.” The Dominant sees and understand the beauty and harmony of the service given to them, and responds to it with love, affection, and care. They may correct and or punish, but it is never, ever done with rage or anger. It is with love and discipline that is it done. My role in the relationship is one of guidance, protection and teaching. Open communication between myself and my partner become the stepping stones to help her achievement. The earning and keeping of her trust in my guidance, protection and teaching will help achieve the goals we set out for us both. This is a relationship that is founded on Harmony, Tranquility, Respect and Purity. (Some of this is paraphrased from Taku, Master of Nawa Ao, an excellent source)
