According to the tale of Roman Charity, Pero secretly nursed her father from her breasts to sustain him while he was in prison. As an exemplary story of devotion and transcendent connection, the story of Cimon and Pero inspired generations of artists and spiritual thinkers, who made the tale the subject of their paintings and meditations. I crave that sort of bond, and I'm seeking the Pero to my Cimon!
The sort of relationship I'm seeking includes the (fictive, of course) paternal bond they shared, but otherwise might differ from relationships that more typically fall under the daddy-little umbrella: I'm more interested in offering guidance and mentorship than domination. I can be stern (I've got that professor vibe, but I come by it honestly), but I'd rather express the caregiving aspect of the relationship by being adoring and affectionate than through pain, degradation, humiliation, ownership or control. For the woman who's the right fit for the relationship I'm envisioning, I'm interested in talking about her goals and agreeing on accountability measures to help her reach them, rather than setting strict rules and dishing out punishments for violations of them.
I'm married and polyamorous; we'd both been in poly relationships before we met, and our marriage has been ENM since 2018. We have an amazing relationship of equals, and one of the things that makes polyamory click so well for me is that it's an opportunity to explore and develop different relationship dynamics with different partners. We date separately, so I'm seeking a relationship for me, not for us. I'm experienced with poly dating, but am still largely a neophyte when it comes to incorporating more *****-oriented dynamics into relationships. And, even as I'm seeking a daddy-little dynamic to add to my life, I very much want my partner in that relationship to be a confident, ambitious go-getter who takes care of business professionally, and who has a well-developed sense of self in her life outside of any ***** dynamics we might share.
