About Me

Yes, I am a doctor. I practice in Houston. I sometimes provide quasi-medical advice through this web site or via e-mail, particularly for spanking-related questions, but I’m sure you understand that for significant medical advice you should ask your own doctor. Oh, and one more thing—if you think you’d like me to spank you, don’t come to see me as a patient. In the office I’m just another regular MD, and I like my license too much to do something sexual with a patient. In addition to seeing patients in the office, I do some of the other things that doctors do, including giving lectures now and then. I managed to work a reference to spanking into a recent talk I gave--see Lecturer for a sound clip.

I am single. I was married for 23 years, but my wife and I separated in early 2006 and our divorce became final that October. My spanking interests were part, but not all, of the reason for our separation. I still feel good about the years we spent together and the work we shared raising our children.

I have two adolescent children, who absorb a large share of my love, time, and energy. No divorce is easy, but my wife and I have done all we could to minimize the pain for our children and each other, and she and I continue to work actively as cooperative parents.

I’m sorry I can’t include a photo on the web site. I don’t think that anything awful would happen if my identity were revealed, but not publishing my photo gives me a rare feeling of cautiousness. My life choices in general have been anything but.

I can tell you that I’m 6’1” tall, weigh 180 pounds, am mostly bald with a bit of brown hair on top and a white beard. I am neither handsome nor ugly . . . somewhere in between.

I love physically demanding activities. I ride the MS 150 (that’s a 180-or-so mile bike ride from Houston to Austin) almost every year. I love activities that are demanding mentally, as well; challenges excite me. I like to push the envelope.

I enjoy promoting spanking and helping people better understood how spanking fits into their lives.

I'm a sadomasochist, both parts. This site mostly discusses me as a sadist, but I am a masochist as well.

I'm a sadist because I get pleasure from spanking women. Some sadists, of course, are not people you'd want to spend a lot of time with; but the sadists I know are scrupulous about causing pain only in a setting of consent.

Let me give you a couple of ways in which I'm not sadistic.

I won't eat meat from animals that were not humanely raised and slaughtered. I'm following my daughter's lead here; she took up the cause after reading some of Peter Singer's compelling writing . . . http://www.motherjones.com/interview/2006/04/peter_singer.html .

If I turn on the water in the bathtub and see a spider scrambling frantically up the edge, I'll turn off the water, rescue the spider, and take it outside to put it on a bush that looks spider-friendly. And as I say elsewhere on this site, I am opposed to the spanking of children.

My Delurk talks at some length about my struggle to come to terms with my sadism.
