I am an Aristocrat. My family have lived in the same house since 1059 and I was put through the full rigours of a classical education, and you, my friend, with your chosen lifestyle and the art and dignity in which you have chosen to live, are every inch my equal. Being an Aristocrat is not about blood, people used to be knighted on the field of battle every day and the survivors built the huge estates and enterprises that shaped the world we live in. An Aristocrat is forged in the fire of his will, interests, and in the respect he recieves from others. A woman on her knees is the surest sign that you have achieved a measure of it.
I see my lifestyle as a continuation of the mediaeval philosophy of intrigue and conquest, the search for prey, the warm willing conquest and the bestowal of power on you by those who choose to serve you and the acceptance of the responsibility for the protection and authority over another, and the right to adminster discipline and punishment, you are the only law you need recognise.
The study of the finer things in life is yours as a taken right, music, art, literature, the appreciation of fine food and wine and the striving and acquistion of them, they all exalt you.
I'm very Gothic in my own outlook, and as my father was a second son, and therefore we did not inherit the family pile, I do enjoy treating my own, modest home like a castle. I have book lined rooms and a vast collection of old things that amuse me. Most importantly we have our slaves, oh yes, I am married to another dom, who comes from a similar background to me and has her own male pets who include muscians and actors who spend much time keeping her entertained.
I have my props, my Dobermanns, my swords on the wall and my ancient motorcycle and my eccentric sense of humour and outlook.
You are not the only one, and I am very happy to say I am the same.
