Hello Joy. I’m Richard. Hope this note finds you well! I have also been in the BDSM lifestyle for many years, maybe 25 now. Most of that time was as a submissive as I enjoyed being dominated by my girlfriend who was a local dominatrix in this area for many years until she got her PHD in Psychology and moved out of state. I have since then enjoyed life as submissive, and still enjoy being dominated and put in bondage, although I did start Switching every once in a while, although life was better with the old girlfriend, as I guess you could call ours a FLR, though I don’t remember people calling it that back then.
I’m a degreed individual with a few different careers – I started out in Sales, was not happy with the job or options after a few years, and then moved to the computer field as a mainframe computer programmer/analyst for 15 years before getting burned out and then returning to a sales-related corporate position.
Just like you, I also demand open and honest communication and a sense of humor, and mine can be quite warped at times. I love engaging in conversation about most topics, including sports, politics, bdsm, sex, local news, music, movies, or life in general. You will find me to be a very open person. Ever since a serious cancer scare, I am very straight forward and can be blunt at times.
If you enjoy kayaking, there is the Rocky River in the Metroparks that can provide fun kayaking, leading out to Lake Erie. We also have a few decent beaches in the Cleveland area and a relatively new Beach House at the downtown beach that has a bar that overlooks the beach and lake. That said, I’d love to see you up here on the North Coast, and look forward to seeing if we can click at some FLR level.
