Well, I finally worked my way down the forums list to this and decided I would add my 1.5 cents worth.

I am 52 years old, Dominant, sadist and admitted hedonist. I have been interested in tieing and dominating females for as long as I can remember. In fact, my first sexual rememberance is the hard on I got when I thought about ties up the little red head down the street and doing nasty things to her. The fact that I was about 12 years old, had no idea what nasty things really were, and that she was 15 didn't make a difference to me. I just knew I liked the sensations the thoughts brought on. I was hooked.

Now I am much older, not sure if I am much wiser, but I still like those sensations and now I have a much greater appreciation of what those "nasty things" really encompass.

As for the rest of my life. I spent 25 years riding fire trucks as a professional fire fighter. I have an MBA with a specialty in Human Resource Management. I am retired except for a small consulting practice and some part time teaching at the university level. I am currently considering returning to school to Pile it HIgher and Deeper after my name.

I have been married almost 30 years. Fortunately, we discovered early on that we were complementary personalities; she submissive and me dominant. It has been a wonderful time and I hope it lasts another 30 years.

We, at one time or another, have tried just about everything we could think of in the lifestyle. Some we liked and we made it a part of our lifestyle. Some we didn't like and we just don't do those things. Others like those things and we don't have a problem with that. We have done the groups thing, the play party things, etc. We find that now, our play is more intimate, more private and more intense than ever before.

I do not profess to be a professional at this thing we call bdsm, but I do know that in 30 years I have seen a lot, done a lot, experienced a lot, made a lot of screw ups, discovered some really neat things and come a long way as a Master and a Dominant. I don't know if any of it is anything that will help anyone else, but, like most Dominant personalities, I usually have an opinion and I don't mind sharing it.

If you have any more questions or want to know more, please don't hesitate to ask either here in public or in private if you want. I am open, accessible and more than willing to talk and answer questions.
