41 [M4F] #Texas - Unfulfilled, kinky academic seeks grounded, adventurous, and talkative new partner for connection and exploration

I'm looking for an interesting, kind, funny, and confident woman (or person who identifies as a woman) with whom to build a relationship, in the hopes of making an exciting, new, heart-racing connection. One thing I would like to mention early on is that I'm looking for someone who values open, two-way communication and is as interested in carrying on a conversation as I am. I'm talkative and inquisitive by nature and I'm looking for someone to bring that same energy to our talks. Let's find out what makes each other tick!

What I've come to realize is that I'm not unhappy with my current partner, but that I traded my desire for a more adventurous (sexually and otherwise) partner for the stability of a reliable friend and roommate. I miss pushing my sexual boundaries, and feeling flush with the nervousness and anticipation of exploring a new lover and a new kink. I am looking for a long-term AP with whom to chat, laugh, flirt, and build a new relationship. With the right partner and at the right time in the future, I would be willing to go to great lengths to realize our affair in person and have regular meet-ups. Lastly, I travel often to central Texas and the DFW area.

Before you read any further, I'd like to talk about something very important to me: discretion. I am a very private person and would like to remain as anonymous as the Internet will let us until we build rapport and get to know each other. I don't think anonymity excludes a romantic connection, in fact, for me personally it heightens it!

A bit about me:

I'm a reluctant academic and professional in a STEM field who is well traveled and has no kids by choice. I'm a very liberal person, who just happens to be "stuck" in a very conservative state. I was born and raised in Texas, but I've always felt like a fish out of water. Medium height with blonde hair and blue eyes, I'm not much of a gym rat, but I keep myself in good shape in an effort not to slip into a "dad bod". I always prefer morning yoga and afternoon walks to squats and dumbbells. I enjoy good food, good conversation, and good sex. My hobbies include cycling, gaming, woodworking, and cooking. I'm an open book about most things, and I love getting lost in conversation about current events, history, or anything that excites my interests, or that similarly makes you light up. I'm somewhat of a homebody, especially now, but I love exploring new places.

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for a woman who feels "stuck" the way that I do, and who has always felt like she had to suppress her adventurous spirit in trade for a steady partner. Age is not a huge concern, although my preference is that you are a similar age or younger than I am. Body type is not nearly as important to me as an intellectual and sexual connection. I'd like it if you were able to text and chat during the day, as I am less available during the evening hours (but not NOT available). Being in Texas I'm in CST of course, and although location and time zone aren't deal breakers, they would make it much harder to eventually meet up. I'll also be clear that I'm interested in meetups and the relationship being sexual, eventually, even if we are only building something online for now. I've got a platonic friend at home and I'm not looking for another. I want to talk about our feelings and kinks openly, and what we've done in the past that drove us wild and what we'd like to do in the future. That being said, I'm also looking for someone who gets excited to wake up to a message from me in the morning, and leaves me cute texts during the day.

~If you've read this far then I'm sure we should probably talk more. I'm looking forward to the start of something exciting, sexy, and new with your message!
