I'm a bit remiss at sending this in. I'm a male Dom who has been active in the lifestyle since my early teens. I am now in my late fifties, so have seen the lifestyle somewhat come out into the light of day as knowledge, especially personal knowledge, has changed perceptions. My participation has been at various stages of activity, but my interest has been constant. I began as something of a switch, but have settle down to a Dom role for some time.
MY ancestors, on my father's side, arrived in Canada with Brave Wolfe and evidently did something semi-heroic because they were granted a large land grant on the shores of the St. Lawrence. In the 1870's they evidently lost it in a poker game, or were exiled screaming "please! I promise I won't do it again!" They moved to Arkansas, USA, and eventually to California (thank God). My mother's side arrived after the Restoration to the colony of Virginia. One of these ancestors signed the death warrant of Charles I. Since they were Roundhead English, and the other side Irish Catholics, perhaps they met earlier and fought and raped each other. That could explain a lot, lol. I, too, feel a great affinity to Canada, for obvious reason.
I love the international flair of this forum. I was born and am currently living in Kentucky, USA (the only state whose abreviation, KY, has sexual overtones). I have lived in LA, Manhattan, Chicago, as well as several other places. I have intense interests in history, movies, cooking, aviation, ships, railroading, erotic art, graphics (flags, coats of arms, insignias). As Indiana Jones said, "It ain't the years, it's the mileage."
