A strict, controlling, demanding, yet patient, loving and affectionate Master. Honor, Integrity, Honesty, Principles and Codes of Conduct - these have been and will be the basis of My life. Counselor, teacher, writer, lecturer, mentor, mage, Master, Dominant and protector of women. 47 years in the study, as well as the practice and instruction, of Metaphysical/Spiritual subjects and techniques. 38 years in the Martial Arts, including aspects of energy and healing work through Chinese Medicine, Reiki and other healing/energy disciplines. 26 years body building. Both of those physical pursuits coming to an end when I cracked My back for the second time :-) Clinical Psych.... And yes, with all that is implied therein :-) In fact, My vocation has always been in the psychiatric/psychological services disciplines. Yes, clinical this and abnormal that and hypno this and so on. I also spent a great deal of time teaching at Uni - and loved it. I am somewhat retired these days. I was raised by Old Guard BDSM families in the 50's and 60's, took My first slave as a D/s BDSM Master in 1969 and have been involved in this Lifestyle - both BDSM, and Gor from the 70's - ever since, right up to this very day. I have moved between these two worlds, having respect and appreciation for each. When appropriate, also referred to as Master Arcan, or 'Daddy' :-) I demand honesty - without honesty there can be no trust and without trust, there can be no relationship of any kind. I take-charge and control what is in My life - especially YOU. I do not smoke, drink or do drugs. AND *YOUR* NOT SMOKING IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO *ME*. I love music, particularly Classical, Jazz (acoustic, fusion and electric), Swing Bands, Sinatra and The Rat Pack, Oldies from the 50's and 60's, Motown, Blues and Bluegrass, Broadway Musicals and Movie Soundtracks. Here are some of My other passions: Crossword Puzzles, Shortwave/Police Scanner Radios, Haydn, Chopin, Mendelssohn, e a r l y Dylan, Monk, Bird, Trane, Miles, Lady Day, Ella, Nina, Mel, Tony, Frank, Dino, Sammy, Dorsey, DiMeola, Corea, Chuck, George, Kenny G, Cats (the musical or the real thing! ), Science Fiction, The Arts, The 7 Pillars of Wisdom, Cities in Flight, Horatio Hornblower, The Foundation Trilogy, LOTR, The Hunt for Red October, Lawrence of Arabia, The Untouchables, Blazing Saddles, News, Cuddling, CHOCOLATE, and relaxing at home... For discussion or further contact, message Me. Good conversation is an excellent beginning and intelligent discourse is to be savored. Some of My more notable quotes: "Pain is for pleasure NOT pain alone. Pain for pain's sake is abhorrent and negates the true balance between torment and ecstasy...." "A true Master is a weapon of Subtlety, Art and Power. I AM that Master...." ---------- After reading the above, YOU will know if you are whom I am looking for. CONTACT ME when you do. ---------- I am on Skype as Master_Arcan
