Bndgswitch Looking for leather and bondage connections

No longer a premium member.
I am a single gay guy looking for leather friends or friends-with-benefits. In November 2023 I was diagnosed with high grade non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I responded well to treatment and am now in complete metabolic remission. Thanks to everyone who offered support and encouragement during a difficult and challenging time.

I'm genuinely friendly, yet shy and reserved until I get to know people. Unfortunately this often makes me appear stand-offish, which is truly not the case, and I respond well to approaches.

I'm heavily into leather and all forms of bondage. I love straitjackets, ropes, gags, blindfolds and hoods - both wearing them and putting or seeing them on others. Sexually I enjoy being tactile, kissing, oral give/take, nipple play, rimming give/take (clean only), flogging, electro, boots, rubber, gas masks, safe anal, toys.

While I'm naturally submissive I'm often mistaken for a Top. I'm flattered by this and sometimes switch with pleasing results. When topping my aim is to please the sub guy although I'm not into inflicting really heavy pain, humiliation or verbal abuse. I can probably take more than I like to administer. I like poppers although they're not compulsory. I have been avoiding them lately in case they clash with my prescribed meds.
I rarely agree to meet at short notice as I’m not looking for quick hook ups. I find some planning ahead works best and builds anticipation for all sides.

I use the cruise function as a way of acknowledging friends or to simply pay a compliment to a profile I admire.
