Hello, I'm a "Fellow in Green Bay." It took me a while to find this opportunity to say something about myself. I have just joined recently (3/14), and am struggling to configure things yet. I am probably older than you by a least a little (73 y/o). You need to know that - along with much more about me before you spend too much time on me. Like,..... My favorite kink is bondage. I am a switch. I like both doing the tying and the being tied. I enjoy the sensations, the "look," the symbolism, the struggle, the ***ness and surrender, other psychological features, and probably some things I am not thinking of. I have recently read a profile by one of the women on this site. She was into as kinks and fetishes a LOT of things. I have to say, some of them I couldn't do anymore at my age, but almost all of them sounded super exciting. I was "moved." About a long term relationship: I AM open to that DEPENDING UPON just what you mean by it. I don't see myself getting married. I'm very poor. I'd have nothing to offer financially to such a relationship. Our financial lives would have to be mostly separate - to protect both of us. But it is my belief that Friends with Benefits, CAN be "long term" and very meaningful. I think I have much to offer a relationship as a friend. But not as husband. I'm too much older, and impoverished. I take care of myself by living within my means. I think I am a fairly sensitive guy - empathic, kind, compassionate. I have a degree in Human Development from the University of Wisconsin. It's obviously out of date at this point. I'm liberal - politically, socially, and religiously. That's getting to be more important in today's world - and in dating. I have some limitations that come with being 73 years old. We'd need to talk about those, given the site we are on. My "religion" is important to me - but it's definitely NOT what you might think of when I say that. It's another thing we could spend some time discussing. I say I am looking for Friends with Benefits - but BOTH the Benefits part AND the Friends part are important to me. I think they at least can in some circumstances act synergistically. I have spent the last 8 months on a site where it seemed everyone wanted to text (and text and text.....) until it was time they came up with some unlikely reason to need ***. I don't want to do that again. Our goal should be to meet and to get to know each other IN PERSON. I want a "real" relationship, not a pen pal, and I don't believe one can really get to know someone via texting. I need to see and hear and "be with" you to get to know and understand you. To watch your body language and facial expressions, and hear your tone and pace and volume when you speak, and observe how you approach or hesitate, and a million other things. That's all I can think of off the cuff here. Consider it, and you can decide if you want to connect with me on some level.
Hugs,
Michael

I AM into bondage, and lots of it.
I am not into "anal things." I don't do asshole licking, etc.
I am not into extreme ***, though some *** play is okay, and certainly symbolic *** is welcome.
I'm also not into ***/poop, or urine, or ***, or vomit, or ***, or permanent marking.
Safe words need to be clearly defined and honored.
Consent is mandatory, though certainly the pretense of being violated is acceptable. I think it would be fun to wrestle and overcome, or be overcome by, a strong woman, lol.
For psychological reasons, I'm not into *** or ***, either giving or receiving. I won't do that - even pretending - to someone I care about - and I'm too fragile in self-esteem to endure it.
I think I would on occasion prefer "gentle, loving, playful, caring, kind" sex. But mostly something a little "rougher" is good.
That's all I can think of right now.
Hugs,
Michael
