Mojave, 67

Physical attraction and, if we're lucky, love, do not recognize, or discriminate against, race, color, or gender ... neither do I. I chose the user name Mojave because, like the desert, I'm having a very, very, dry spell. I'd love to find someone compatible, of either sex, for friendship and maybe more ... , but as committed as is possible, within the limits of extramarital relationships. I don't demand perfection of a friend/partner, but I do expect you to care about/for yourself (hygiene, non-smoker, etc.). I prefer that you be married, as it does lead to a better understanding of the difficulties and emotions involved in making a move like this ... I love my wife deeply and don't want anyone to be hurt, but nothing, not any expression of my overwhelming sense of loss and pain, nor outside counseling, nor patience has moved her toward trying to return to physical intimacy. I am here because after almost 5 years, I need to ... no have to have human contact ... just to hold someone close (even to cuddle) would be the most amazing gift! I don't want someone who's only interested in a quickie. I love women of all shapes and ethnicities. The same would be true if I found a man to whom I was attracted. As for me, I'm not too hard on the eyes, though I do need to get back into working out (you have my stats). I am a passionate lover and very accommodating, but you'll have to let me know if you're interested taking our friendship further. I've been out of the "game" for far too long to trust my instincts and I don't want to wrongly presume that you're interested. Like I said, I don't want anyone hurt, including me. I am open to including your partner in our friendship if it feels right and everyone is on the same page. I will always respect your boundaries and your privacy, and expect the same in return. If I've missed anything, please, feel free to ask. I hope this hasn't turned everyone off ... I really am a very responsive and respectful friend and lover, but it's been so long ... there may be some rust. :-}
