Sensual, warm hearted soul prepared to light a mutual fire and share basking in the glow. Some fires are meant to be special affairs -- long remembered, and deeply cherished. Seeking a tender, caring, and sensuous, relationship built on a foundation of mutual respect … to seduce and be seduced … to tease-and-please each other … to rest in each other's arms between repeated sessions of shared passion. While resting, we could talk -- whatever you wish … intimate or intellectual? I'll take my cues from my partner and will ALWAYS be respectful of her wishes. I am a tall (6’1”), fun, fit, well-traveled, over-educated gentleman.

I am amiable, insightful, and sensual.

I’ve recently slowed down my consulting and speaking around the world to sequester myself in my office to work on a book. I'm looking forward to resuming my worldwide travels as soon as the writing is done. I'm comfortable in work-boots or hiking-boots or in a top-hat or tux, and yes, I own all four of those items of attire.

Being mellow with a partner to share my deep background and enthusiasm for a number of avocational interests--both indoors and outdoors (e.g. cycling, hiking, canoeing, photography, woodworking, etc.). Yet also being very willing, and most eager, to imbibe the excitement, enthusiasm, and knowledge of my partner for whatever inspires her.

Genuine (with no airs), intelligent/insightful, understanding/empathetic, friendly/approachable, listens well, and tells a story well.

Read widely, mostly non-fiction, in diverse areas of the arts (fine art, decorative art, graphic design, fine craftsmanship), the natural & social sciences, and technology. What's a 'movie'? I do watch movies, but am not a maven. Music ... all types, especially classical, and some jazz/country. Food ... healthy food.

Maslow's oft-quoted hierarchies, articulated in his 1943 paper, identify 28 basic needs ... of which I am blessed to have met most.

Beyond the basics, I will thrive on the challenges as I:

(1) increase my knowledge in many areas,

(2) creatively link threads from different disciplines creating a synergy,

(3) parse out rules/themes/issues within any problem or domain,

(4) pass on my knowledge and insights (from 1-3) to others through … sharing on a personal level with a partner, teaching, and writing,

(5) volunteer time with youth ... serving as a role model, imparting skills and inspiring a wonder of the world and how it works,

(6) share a passionate, sensual, intimacy with a close partner.

Items 1-6, above.

Beginning to rejeuvenate from the week before.

Ummmm... No ... not here ... but ask me.

You are a woman who yearns to share the joys of the intellect (as touched upon above), as well as the joys of a passionate, sensual, intimacy with a close partner.
