It's always interesting to consider what to say in these introductions.
So where to begin? I started enjoying the sight of women tied up at an early age. Watching of all things Scooby Doo (daphne looked hot tied and gagged) and Johnny Socko and His Flying Robot. The latter as a japanese import, and every week one of the women would be tied and gagged, and not the fluffy stuff you see in tv normally. Usually a rag stuffed in their mouth with a cover tied on top.
So flash forward some years, high school days. A girlfriend actually ASKED me to tie her up on her bed while we were fooling around. Which was great fun. (I often wonder what happened to her)
Went in the service after that and met some great people who taught me lots of neat stuff. Among which the most important was that women are not nearly as fragile as I was led to believe growing up. It was a great education.
Got out of the service and met a nice woman and settled down. She had some interest in the life that grew as time passed. We don't really play in public, but had some great days at home.
One particular interest of mine is shibari which I've studied on and off for years. In one of the threads on here about favorite toys, someone wrote that they had about 120 ft of rope. I thought about that for a while. I have no idea how I'd tie someone up using only 120 ft. In my closet I probably have around 1500 ft of various kinds, colors and weights.
I like to make my own toys, nothing says love like showing your sub a freshly made flogger you've finally complete just for her.
Fairly soon, I'm going to be ordering some roo hides from OZ and making my first attempt at a bullwhip. If all else fails, they'll make some spiffy equipment if I screw the bull up.
Some of the stories in the library are very good, and kudo's to the authors. I've written three books, which are horror/young adult, numerous horror short stories, and am just getting back to writing erotica which I hope to post on here soon.
A large part of my free time is spent caring for my wife who is chronically ill, and unable to play anymore. Someday perhaps she will, but for now its just memories.
If I've missed something important, ask.
