I'm an older man who never wants to stop learning and welcomes change. I believe eroticism is fascinating, mysterious and a gift. Like the beat of a drum, it brings primal energy to life.

I am a true romantic. I enjoy chatting. About you. About me. About anything. About nothing. About nice things. About naughty things. Especially about naughty things. If you've got this far, you really should say hello. Not looking for drama, but not afraid of it when I find it.
Whispers are fine, unless the room rules say otherwise.
