I'm an ambitious and often very serious individual given to occasional bouts of goofyness. I've been interested in space exploration since I can remember and it is a major part of my life. I'd ultimately like to be an astronaut, but with the current state of NASA and manned spaceflight, I'm not sure how likely that is. I have high hopes, but even if it doesn't happen I've got a really cool career path to follow.
I am a fan and advocate of molecular nanotechnology and an early-adopter of innovation.
My sexuality, as a kinky, fetish-minded gay man, plays a large role in who I am and who my friends are. This is likely a consequence of desiring to be open, honest, and as drama-free as possible in my personal relationships...and it's easy to find people who accept your proclivities when they have similar 'extracurricular activities'. Of course, some of my best friends are kink-aware, though not themselves part of that lifestyle.

I draw little distinction between the ideal characteristics for a friend and those for a lover, partner, boyfriend, or playmate. In a way, the latter are a subset of the former. I think sex should be friendly, and I'd much rather play with someone with whom I could be friends.
I'm attracted to people with ambition, genuine personalities, and an variety of interests they enjoy sharing with others.
Regarding sex, my laundry-list of interests, kinky and otherwise, is quite extensive. My position (top, bottom, dominant, submissive) depends a great deal on the chemistry between myself and the person I'm with.
Looking forward to a relationship, I'd prefer a more egalitarian MO, with myself and my partner able to take either set of roles depending on our moods.
