I am an academic, author, and consultant who lives in the Carmel/Monterey area. I am not retired but I am flexible with my own time, especially during the summer. I am starting afresh now as a single man, open-minded and fresh, seeking to meet new faces. I hope to enjoy this journey. I am open to meet women (and possibly couples) for friendship and erotic exploration. I am youthful in spirit (physically and mentally), zesty, worldly, honest, curious, reliable, sensual, and playful. I am comfortable in my own skin and I am a non-drama guy. I can host in a beautiful and isolated house viewing the Pacific, yet in the heart of civilization. On occasions, I can offer space to visiting people, yet without a concrete expectation for anything.

My Ideal Person I welcome sophisticated women (and cpls), women with intellectual, social and, yes, erotic curiosity. I also welcome friendship with couples, with no concrete expectations.

I like people with enthusiasm and passion, people who appreciate life's sense of wonder and absurd; people who are spontaneous, who are not afraid of exploring new things, who are intrigued by the unknown.

As the cliche goes, age is just a number. I like both younger and older people, as long as they are interesting and open-minded.

One thing I should mention: I am NOT a fan of tattoos. Not my thing. Sorry.
