Afterglow is the title of a song I wrote with my former band. Yeah, that's me in my avatar. I am just a man blessed with insight, knowledge and empathy for what we all experience as we try to navigate from one day to the next. I have a fountain of friends and associates who value our talks due to my no-hold's barred-direct-and-to-the-point-with-an-undercoat-of-honesty-and sincerity approach to advice. Although I am in my 40's I have lived a dynamic life, full of experience and adventure. I have been blessed with a keen sense of perspective and perception. I come from a place of rational thought and NOT emotional response.

I live in New York. Was born and raise in rural Ohio. I have performed all over this country and abroad.

Without saying too much, I am very sexually aware and knowledgeable. I have experienced many relationships over the years, including marriage. Let's just say, I know how people related to one another....So, ask away....it's all taken with a grain of salt.

A.   22 June 2013: OK...It appears you have made a plethora of "assumptions". You were under the "assumption" that all guys are cut from the same cloth when it comes to sexual relations. I can't blame you. Society and media loves to portray the male stereotype of "Men ... (read in full...)

A.   14 August 2010: While your ethnicity and cultural indoctrination may be Indian, you now live in America where, as a woman, you have rights. Understand that you have options. NO ONE has to stay in a relationship that is deemed detrimental towards your health; mental ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2010: One of the things I have learned over the years is to NOT look for rational explanations to irrational behavior. There is always going to be a disconnect. Regardless of the answer, you are always going to feel that there was a "better" way to handle ... (read in full...)
