"How old are you, Donald? Dr. Perry asked.
"Forty-five," Donald responded.
"Why are you here? What do you expect to get from our sessions?"
"Well," Donald answered, "as I'm sure Song Lee has told you, we are looking for a way to salvage our marriage."
Song Lee is Donald's wife. His second marriage, her third.
"I've already had several sessions with your wife and I have an idea what she thinks. I want to know what you think, how you view the situation. Often, I'm sure you'll agree, two people in a relationship can have different perspectives. It doesn't mean one is right and the other is wrong. OK? Now, what's wrong with your marriage?"
"Well, to be blunt, Song Lee has a boyfriend and she won't stop seeing him even though I've asked her to repeatedly. We separated for a few weeks over it. We've gone to several marriage counselors but Song Lee just can't seem to understand what they are saying to her. Song Lee has agreed to get back together provided both of us get counseling from you."
"So it was you who wanted to go back more so than Song Lee?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Why did you agree to see me?"
"Well, Song Lee said you had great success with couples like us, so I thought it was worth a try. I really do love her very much."
"You understand my methods are controversial?"
"Yes, I understand that."
"Once I've accepted a couple for counseling, my success rate is 100%, but I don't accept every couple. Moreover, the definition I apply to success is that a couple remains together and is happy and accepting of each other. The lives the couples choose may not be judged
successful
by society. And it may not be the solution either envisioned when they began but, in the end, both are happy, truly happy, with their lives together. Still interested?"
"Yes,"
"You agreed to go back with Song Lee. Tell me what happened that has brought you to counseling again."
"Well," Donald began, "she's had this boyfriend, Sammy, that I thought she agreed not to see anymore. But no sooner than she moved back with me, than Sammy comes over to the house looking for her. I blew a gasket."
"Song Lee knew Sammy before you two met, didn't she."
"Yes, he was Song Lee's boyfriend when I met her."
"Boyfriend? Why don't you tell me how the two of you met."
"We met at a bar. She came over and started talking to me."
"Why were you attracted to her?"
"Well, she's Korean and I'd never dated an oriental woman before. I found her very attractive physically, very exotic. I guess I felt like trying something different."
"How long ago was that?"
"About three years ago."
"How old was Song Lee then?"
"She's six years older than I am, but I thought she was much younger. Her skin is so smooth, almost no wrinkles, and that golden brown oriental color. I really thought she was about 30."
"So she's 51 today?"
"Yes. She'll be 52 next month."
"You thought she was younger. Tell me why."
"Mostly her looks. I was attracted right away. I guess I just assumed."
"What happened at the bar? What did you talk about?"
"Mostly about me. She wanted to know all about me. She seemed fascinated. She was also very friendly in a physical way, always touching my arm, brushing up against me. She placed her face closer to mine than I would think was normal. I just chalked it up the oriental way. Eventually, I asked her if she wanted to go back to my place. It was a bar pickup, but I was interested in more than just that. That's when she told me."
"Told you what?"
"That it would cost me."
"So, she was a hooker?"
"Part time," Donald answered like he was conveying some important difference.
"She was a
part time
hooker," Dr. Perry corrected herself. "What did you do?"
"I'll be honest, I'd never been with a prostitute before. Never had the urge. But Song Lee really intrigued me. I asked her how much. She had taken out her compact and was applying lipstick in a most erotic fashion -- she has the most incredible pair of lips I've ever seen ... or felt for that matter. I knew what she was doing but it was still incredibly erotic anyway. She told me $250 for the night."
"And you agreed."
"That's right. We went back to my house and did about everything it's possible for a man and a woman to do. Best two-fifty I ever spent."
"Could you be more specific, please."
"She could do those things with her vagina that men hear about Orientals. She lay on top of me and, without moving her hips, just milked me with her muscles down there."
Donald felt secretly proud of himself. Dr. Perry thought her methods were controversial? Well, let's see how controversial she wanted to be.
"Would you say you fell in love with Song Lee that first night?" Dr. Perry asked.
Donald chuckled. Yes, he remembered, he was smitten right from the start, especially after that first night in heaven. "Yeah, I guess I did."
"So you fell in love with Song Lee's cunt."
"I didn't say that!" Donald yelped, his voice rising a full octave higher, sounding like a little boy.
He had felt uncomfortable from the minute he met Dr. Perry, an extraordinarily pretty woman of indeterminate age. She was tall and in her high heels, she towered over the five--and-a-half-foot Donald. One of the reasons Donald had been attracted to Song Lee was her diminutive stature at barely 5 feet.
When he first arrived, they shook hands and Donald stared directly into the ample bosom of the attractive doctor. Her sweater was low cut exposing plenty of cleavage. Donald ogled and Dr. Perry embarrassed him by letting him know she caught him ogling.
Now, as Donald reclined on the plush, burgundy, leather couch, Dr. Perry sat erect in a hardback chair barely two feet from his head. Her legs were angled about 45 degrees toward his feet. Dr. Perry's skirt was quite short and Donald could hear the soft rustling of nylon whenever she crossed or uncrossed her legs.
In his peripheral vision, Donald could see that the skirt had ridden high on her thigh leaving no more than a scant few inches of material to cover a crotch. Now, she had used a word for the female genitalia that Donald had never heard a woman use before. Donald was very uncomfortable indeed.
