Why are there no(so few) links on your page?
Because I want my pages to be about actual information, and not leeching off other peoples information. (Not to mention I hate dead links when I surf, and I know I can't be proactive enough to check every day for dead links.)

Why are there no (so few) graphics on your page?
With very few exceptions (and those are all linked to something) all the graphics done on my pages are my own, and I'm just not any good, though this is changing with the aid of some patience and some wonderful tools like Gimp. Graphics also take precious downloading bandwidth which not everyone has bountiful amounts of. This is beginning to change, at least in part as I finally have more bandwidth myself to serve pages from.

How/when did you get started/interested in BDSM?
I first got interested in the summer of '93 through some stories I was reading on the internet (specifically in alt.sex.stories, and alt.sex.bondage). After a few weeks of debating and trying to learn myself I decided to post an ad on the net (specifically alt.personals.bondage). The ensuing relationship, while net only, answered enough questions in myself to make me sure that this was something I wanted to continue.

Why do I do this? (training)
To me, training is rewarding. I enjoy the teaching aspects of it and being able to help someone to shape and explore their fantasies. Expanding someone's views, mindset and skillset is rewarding. Ultimately however, you learn the most by teaching, and I am an eager and avid learner.

Why do I do this? (BDSM)
I've found in myself an aptitute and desire. It answers fantasies that have been with me for a long time and lets me BE. To not BE would be a horrible crime against myself, one that I can not bear to commit.

Why do I do this? (polyamory)
I (like most) am a person with many interests in many different directions, and I like variety. Having many people in my life is a natural extension of this. I also feel that a group relationship is an ideal way to raise children in the world today as working full time out of the house for both/all parents drains them and they need time to recharge themselves. In the typical 1 or 2 parent households this time for the parent inevitably comes at the expense of the child/children. Having more parents gives the children more attention and love and discipline and also will leave the parents more time to recharge themselves. This will result in much more productive time with the children as being well rested and able to take care of their own needs, the parents can focus more fully on interacting with the children. There are also financial considerations as it becomes more cost effective to share fixed expenses more ways.

Why the name StormCat?

Well, I love cats, and parts of my personality are cat-like. I also love storms. It also sounds pretty cool.

Where am I located?

I grew up in western NY state, spent a couple years in NC, and am right now in Brisbane Australia for a couple years (though no permanent visa yet, so I will be going back to the US eventually).

Do you have any slaves living with you currently? Have you ever had any slaves living with you? If so, for how long?
No. Yes, she was slave for about 7-8 months, and then slipped to submissive, and then to gf over the next 4 years. Now, however, I am alone again.

How many cats do you have? What are there names?
I wish this were a yes. When I moved to Australia, I left my cats with the girl above. Someday I'll have some again.

What do you do for a living?
Computer programming, sort of, mostly.

Do you intend to financially support all your slaves?
No, nor do I intend for them to financially support me.

How do you plan on dealing with the children who may come along? Do you plan on being open about having slaves in front of the children?
Well, I'm optomistic (and planning) on no children for several more years, but I do eventually want them. I also plan on being very open with my children about all aspects of sexuality, religion, politics, and other lifestyle choices and letting them choose their own path without being afraid of what society thinks about them for it.

You mention religion several times on your web site; what religion are you or were you raised as (if any)?
This will get interesting: I was raised in some branch of Christianity that I can't remember how to spell. I just can't make the leap of faith to believe in either a God((dess(e))(s)) or the Big Bang. What I have come to realize (though not fully yet believe) is that percieving reality alters it. Whatever your beliefs, they shape reality. I won't go into too much depth here as I haven't learned yet to use that knowledge to fly. Have recently read some excellent books, and will update this as I grok fullness.
