"I have a very difficult thing to ask you. You know how I like to research by books to try and give them authenticity? Well my main female character in my new novel experiences things I have no real knowledge of. One of these, which is crucial to the story line is sexual."
"Are you asking me for permission to experience a sexually situation for your research? If so it would help if you tell me what your character experiences."
"Well she is put in a situation where she is pressured into having sex with another woman."
"Can you not talk to women who enjoy lesbianism similar to the research you have done by interviewing convicted criminals? You did not go off and rob a bank."
"I thought about that but the character is cohersed into the situation. I could discuss gay sex with lesbians but to find one who would admit to being pressured into it might be tricky. I can understand if you don't feel able to agree to it. I have never been attracted to another woman and I am very certain it would not change that."
"I am sure that you will be able to persuade me but can you give me a little time for me to come to terms with it? I don't know how you would go about approaching someone but I suppose at least having a veto on who it is might be would take some concern out of it for me."
Judy had already given this issue considerable thought but thought it better not to push things too quickly. She had considered using an upmarket prostitute, using online dating or approaching someone she knew socially. The first two didn't appeal and had dangers attached. The problem with the third was whether it could get very awkward.
It was not that there were no lesbians within their circle of friends and acquaintances. The more she thought about it the more Pamela seemed a perfect candidate. Pamela was a striking woman who openly enjoyed a series of relationships with stunning, normally young, women. She always seemed to be dominant in these relationships. Judy was excited even by the thought of approaching Pamela but did nothing until she got the approval from Harold. The approval was given for both the "research" but also the approach to Pamela.
It was a very flustered Judy who discussed her next book with Pamela over lunch at a very special restaurant. Pamela said that the general story line sounded intriguing but was not sure how she could help Judy.
"As I mentioned in passing the main female character has a lesbian experience, which is fundamental to the whole plot. I have no lesbian experience and wondered if you would be able to help me."
"I would be very happy to talk through the events from a gay perspective. If you describe the key elements to this encounter I may be able to help."
Judy described the coercive nature of the events and gave background into the fictional characters.
"The fact that two women are involved in the events may not be as relevant as you think. Yes the sex is different but the power dynamics are just the same. Domination is slightly different when two women are involved as there is less often a strength mismatch and penetration isn't so relevant. I am almost exclusively dominant with my partners so I cannot help much with your main character's experience."
"Thank you for your honesty. I think I owe it to you to come completely clean. I don't know how to put so I will just say it simply. Would you consider taking me to bed and dominating me like my character is dominated? I can completely understand if you are not comfortable with the situation or with me."
"I promise you I have not got a straight friend who I find half as, well let's say attractive. No let me be more honest, I would love to fuck you senseless. Oh sorry that was not appropriate."
"At least it makes it clear that I need have no fears on that front. Just to let you know if I wasn't straight I would having been knocking on your doors years ago."
"Well that's sorted a few things out. Would you see us as doing a role-play?"
"I have thought about this and the key thing is for me to experience something as close to the characters experience as possible. I do not want to script it. It would work best for me if you would just enjoy breaking a new girl in by dominating, embarrassing and humiliating me as my character is. The less you tell me how you would do that would make it all the more real an experience for me."
"I think I fully understand and would be delighted to help. I would just like to say I am used to being dominant but have limited experience of some of the things that you are asking me for. If you are comfortable it will be an exciting experience for me."
Given the plot line it was agreed that Judy would stay the night with Pamela the next Saturday. Judy was amazed how excited she was the rest of the week imagining what Saturday would bring. Pamela took the role seriously and prepared herself accordingly. It was agreed to not use their own names so that they could get into character right from the start.
"Come in Kate. I do so hope that you realize that if you and your husband expect my full support you need to show me your full cooperation tonight. I expect you to do as I tell you and do it immediately. Have you enjoyed the pleasures that only a woman can offer?"
"I understand my situation Mistress and will do my very best. I have never been with a woman and only with one man."
