My self-summary
I'm just your typical, average, run-of-the-mill
mostly-straight-but-bi-curious
polyamorous kinky nudist Wiccan writer, living in sin with two submissive
female partners. It's a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work,
and right now my social life is pretty full. Nonetheless, if after
reading this profile, you still want to get to know me, then I'd
certainly enjoy hearing from you.
First off, please understand that my life largely revolves around
BDSM and
polyamory, and if you're
not into either of those things, you might as well just stop
reading now. My senior partner (who is not online) and I met at the
first
Master/slave conference back in
2004, and while we tried living as a M/s couple for a few years,
that didn't work for us, so now she's just my submissive, not my
slave. My junior partner,
sntrckt86, and I have only been together
a few months so far, but in that time we've established a very
promising M/s relationship, which we both hope will last a very
long time.
While I'm obviously not looking for any new primary or secondary
partners, my partners and I are active in the local BDSM community,
and are quite interested in meeting other poly kinky folk for both
friendship and play.
That being said, here's some info about me. At various times in my
life, I have been active in
theater,
SF fandom,
roleplaying, the
SCA, the
pagan community,
nudist clubs, the
mouse fancy, and the
BDSM scene. I'm interested in
reading,
writing,
relationships,
history,
astronomy,
evolutionary biology,
Aikido,
mythology,
dog training, and
games. I enjoy
sushi,
movies,
dancing,
hiking,
conversation,
cuddling, and
sex. I enjoy playing all sorts of
games, both in the bedroom and on the computer; I mix the two by
playing a *very* kinky
Sims 2 world (though not as kinky as my
actual life, in fact).
I try to listen more than I talk (though often fail), try to be
open-minded and caring, and think I have a good (though somewhat
dark and dry) sense of humor.
But since I don't smoke, drink, watch TV, like sports, listen to
music much, or cheat on my girlfriend, I once had a friend ask me
(in all seriousness) just what I do for fun.
Apparently, I wasn't big on talking about myself back then.
And I'm still not. But not because I'm afraid of weirding people
out. Just the opposite, in fact. It says a great deal about me that
that I regard all these things I just told you about myself as so
boring and ordinary that nobody could possibly be interested in
them. And I *hate* being boring.
Or at least, I hate it when I'm talking, and my audience wants to
be somewhere else. (It's sometimes hard to tell the difference.)
Call it the Leo in me - I like giving people what they want, so
they're interested in being with me. And most people seem to like
being listened to, so that's what I prefer doing.
So, following the advice of a High Priest I respect, I usually try
to NOT lead with my weird, lest I bore people with my plethora of
interests and activities. I mean, they're all fascinating to *me*,
of course. But over they tears, it has slowly seeped into my
consciousness that other people are, well, ... different ... than I
am.
It's not their fault, of course. I'm open-minded. They can't help
being what they are, no matter how odd it may seem to me. So I've
learned to try to fit in with their strangeness. I put on clothes
so I don't draw their attention. I hide the fact that I'm an
skeptical atheist who happens to worship the Goddess and work
magic. I ask people questions about themselves, and listen to what
they say, and they never notice that I'm not talking about
myself.
And it works. In a world full of people so breathtakingly strange
that I wonder how they can possibly exist, I manage to fit in. When
I'm out there with all the weirdoes, I can look and act *very* much
like them. In fact, sometimes I appear so 'ordinary' that my gf
actually worries about it. (Of course, she is convinced that I'm
part space alien. That's not true, of course; the DNA is totally
incompatible. I'm afraid she makes far too much of the fact that I
was conceived in Roswell, NM.)
But here online, I'm not particularly concerned about trying to fit
in. Or for that matter, even keeping your interest. (And if you buy
that one, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested
in.) Ok, I lie. Of *course* I'm trying to catch your interest. But
only if you actually *are* interested in the kind of person I am.
Otherwise, I'm *trying* to scare you off. If you can't deal with
me, I'd prefer we both discover that fact as quickly as possible.
And since you're doing in it the privacy of your own home, and I
never met you anyway, I really don't care. Really. If you think I'm
not the kind of person you want to know, just go away. I promise, I
won't be offended.
[Waits a few seconds]
Still with me?
Wonderful! If after reading the above, you still have any interest
in getting to know me, then you are *definitely* the kind of person
I'd like to get to know in return!

What I'm doing with my life
Trying to adjust to living with two primary partners at the same
time. While my partners and I have been poly for years, this is the
first time that any of us have actually lived with more than one
partner, and we're just starting to figure out how to manage
it.
Most weekdays, I'm in front on my computer, either writing or (I
hesitate to admit it, but apparently I'm not the only writer who
has this problem) playing games. I occasionally take breaks to eat
and walk my dog, an old Labrador. My primary goal at this point is
to write a novel that I consider good enough to submit for
publication - and let me tell you, it ain't easy. Over the longer
term, I'd like to eventually get to first Dan in Aikido. And I'm
planning to start teaching classes in the local BDSM and pagan
communities, on things like energy work in everyday life, and how
to apply animal training techniques to D/s relationships.
And over the much longer term, my dream is to eventually pull it
all together and help create a coven/community of like minded folk,
kind of like what
Raven Kaldera has done up at
Cauldron Farm in MA.

I'm really good at
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
I dunno; I've never asked. But I suspect it's my grin.
And while is probably isn't the first thing people notice, after
they've seen me a few times, they might note that I rarely wear
anything but black. It's simple, mixes and matches well, looks
good, and doesn't show the hair from my Labrador.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books, books, and more books: I am a total biblioholic; my house is
overflowing with books on every topic that has ever interested me,
which is a pretty vast spectrum. Currently, the largest and most
used collections are history, sexuality, and writing, but I also
have shelves and boxes full of science, humor, the occult,
folklore, and mythology.
In fiction, I mostly read urban fantasy and erotica. My absolute
faves are the
Discworld, Harry Potter, and Dresden
Files series, which are the *only* books I buy in hardcover the
moment they come out. Otherwise, I like the Anita Blake series, old
Anne Rice (especially the Sleeping Beauty trilogy), the Bernie
Rhodenbarr series by Lawrence Block, Frank Miller graphic novels,
collections of Charles Addams cartoons, and anything by Neil
Gaiman.
But I read way more non-fiction that fiction. For light
entertainment, I love Barbara Tuchman, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard
Dawkins, or Scientific American.
Movies: I love movies, and have a fairly large collection, which I
mostly watch while using the exercise bike. I have rarely seen a
movie I didn't like, including schlock (though Eraserhead has my
vote for the worst movie of all time, slightly edging out 'Revenge
of the Sith'). Recently, I was monumentally impressed with 'Good
Night, and Good Luck'. But mostly, I like dark action and comedy,
like Big Trouble in Little China, Goodfellas, Aliens, Sin City, Don
Juan de Marco, or anything by Tim Burton. I *used* to like Star
Wars, but then Lucas went and made Greebo shoot first, which as far
as I'm concerned is just proof of how totally he lost touch with
what made the original trilogy so good. I'm also a big fan of
offbeat 'cult' films, especially those with dark and SF motifs,
such as Blade Runner, Road Warrior, and La Femme Nikita.
I'm not particularly into horror per se, but I *do* have a vast
collection of vampire films. And among them, my absolute fave is
'Innocent Blood', which contains everything I could ever want in a
movie (darkness, humor, love, trust, vampires, blood, action,
nudity, sex, violence, handcuffs, and a strong female lead, all
played by the delightful Anne Parrilaud), *PLUS* is set in the
Pittsburgh neighborhood that I used to live in!
Music: I'm not big on listening to music - I much prefer quiet. But
when I do, I prefer classical and folk, with some classic rock
thrown in. As far as I'm concerned, Loreena McKennit is the voice
of the Goddess. I also like Clannad, Enya, Kiva, The Eagles, Pat
Benatar, and (I hesitate to admit it) old Madonna songs. In
classical, I prefer the late romantic tone poems of Debussy,
Sibelius, and Richard Strauss.
Foods: Sushi. Dim Sum. Ice cream. Thai. Good steak. Milk chocolate
- I know all the experts prefer the dark stuff, but so long as I
get my Cadbury's, I don't mind being them calling me Mr.
Philistine.
And in the 'they didn't ask but I'm telling you anyway
department':
TV: I don't actually *have* real TV; all I can watch are DVDs and
tapes. But I used to, I see things online and over at friends'
houses, and I get DVDs. The only show for which I have the
*complete* sets of DVD's are Buffy and Monty Python, but I also
have collections of Xena, X-Files, Star Trek (original and TNG),
Highlander, Homicide, Robin Hood (the 80's BBC show), and Family
Guy.

The six things I could never do without
Friends. Books. Time. Love. Freedom. Ice Cream (Cherry Vanilla or
Mint Chocolate Chip, mostly. But odd as it may be, I also really
like Vanilla).
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Writing, people and relationships.
On a typical Friday night I am
On a date with one of my partners, which normally includes some
sort of dinner, a horror or sexy movie, then lots of kinky
sex.
And on Saturday night, it gets even more interesting...
But they didn't ask about that. And I don't want to bore you :).
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
What, you think there are secrets I haven't told you already?
Hardly. I've already listed the biggies, though there are of course
lots of details that a profile like this can't even hint at.
Still, here's a little tidbit for you. Like I said, I'm a nudist. I
pretty much never wear clothes in private. Or -- and here's the
secret -- when I think there's nobody who'll notice. I've done
*lots* of nude hiking - in fact, that's how I got into
nudism.
For most of my childhood, I hiked nude for hours every day -- and
never got caught. In fact, I used to totally hate letting anyone
see me naked. While I wandered nude in the woods every day, nobody
ever knew, much less ever saw me. And I abhorred getting undressed
in my high school locker room.
I didn't get over that modesty until I started attending
clothing-optional pagan events in the 80's. After a few years on
envying the courage of those people who went skyclad, I finally
started daring to do so myself. And you know something? When people
saw me naked, they weren't horrified.
Nowadays, I have absolutely no modesty about being seen nude. In
fact, I've gone on nude hikes and canoe trips, hot tubed with
friends, and often drive nude. It's just more comfy. Yes, I've been
seen. Most people just smiled. Some averted their eyes. A few were
jerks. A very few were actually curious. None of them died. Or even
had to go to the hospital, for that matter.
But while nudism has been a key part of my lifestyle for 35+ years,
it still feels a bit odd to come out and say so. I guess I'm still
a bit shy about scaring people off by being too weird.
And *that* is the most private thing that I'm willing to admit
here.

You should message me if
You live within an hour of Baltimore (we get to DC a lot), are into
BDSM, cool with
nudism, and are
definitely
poly.
First and foremost, we're looking for friends, not just play
partners. What we want to find are people whom we enjoy spending
time with, especially at places such as pagan gatherings, bdsm
parties, and nudist clubs. But we're also interested in just
hanging out, going to dinner, talking, watching movies, playing
games, and so on. While we certainly enjoy playing with our
friends, we regard that as just one possible activity - and if
that's the only thing we do together, we're really not
interested.
While we're most interested in hanging out with other couples and
bi women, we'd also open to getting to know gay and bi men, and
TS's and TV's. However, if you're in one of those categories, make
sure you re-read the above paragraph, and express interest in more
than just being dominated by a kinky couple.
And, finally, while we'd like to find friends who enjoy hanging out
with both of us, we *are* poly, and not joined at the hip. So, if
you're a poly woman who's more interested in getting to know just
me, well, we can *definitely* talk. I'm not at all concerned about
age (I have friends from 24 to 64) or weight (actually, I quite
like BBW), or submissiveness (I adore dominant women, so long as
they don't try to dom me without my consent), but I *am* allergic
to cigarette smoke and anyone who supports the current
administration.
