A game for learning about yourself
Women with very submissive fantasies play at having to live them out. Some come to actually do so.
Against my better judgment, I have written another story. I am back to the easier and more familiar territory of writing about submissive women and women forced to submit. Readers of Sex Slave Lottery will see similarities here.
This story is on the consensual side of the nonconsensual-reluctant continuum (unlike Lawyer Ravished which was wholly nonconsensual). Arguably it belongs in fetish or BDSM, but it does not fit comfortably in those places either.
This will be either a two-chapter story or a longer story depending on reader interest. More on this at the end.
A Game for Learning About Yourself
Chapter 1
Stephanie Stark was troubled by persistent sexual fantasies. Having fantasies, of course is normal, but these fantasies did not accord at all with her self-image or comfort level. Stephanie was even more bothered that part of her actually wanted to live out these fantasies.
The attractive, blonde, 32-year-old bank loan officer in Reno who had graduated from a top-notch business school, had felt she had a fairly healthy sex life. Her looks guaranteed her satisfactory hook-ups whenever she wanted one. Best of all, Stephanie was not burdened with any messy long-term attachments. But these fantasies she had and desires she felt were sick and self-destructive while growing in intensity.
Stephanie told her friend Roberta B. a little about her problem, but Stephanie didn't want to tell Roberta anything about her fantasies except that they were disgusting.
"Many women have rape fantasies, Steffi, if that's your problem," Roberta said. "Just don't think about them too much and if you want to imagine the guy you found in a bar is a pirate captain who just pulled you into his ship's cabin, you can have this picture in your head while you have sex without having to tell the guy about it."
"No, what I think about is way worse than that," Stephanie said. "Rape fantasies of pirates would be healthier and I'm pretty sure I will not run into any pirate ships in Lake Tahoe. Anyway, I feel like fantasy is just not enough. I want to do it."
"Well, if these fantasies are bothering you so much and you are too embarrassed even to talk to me about them, maybe you should see a therapist," Roberta suggested.
Stephanie went on the internet and found a therapist who actually listed counseling single women on unwanted desires as part of the services she offered. A week later, Stephanie met with Dr. Naomi Freudova. Stephanie immediately liked Dr. Freudova who was only a year older than Stephanie. Dr. Freudova spoke at Stephanie's level and the women had many similar social experiences despite their differences in profession. Stephanie even physically resembled Dr. Freudova except that Dr. Freudova was about 5 foot 9 while Stephanie was about 5 foot 7, and Dr. Freudova had dark hair and a slightly darker complexion. Both had hour-glass figures that got them more male attention than they sometimes wanted.
After pleasantries and awkward discussion about their backgrounds, Dr. Freudova brought the discussion to business. "It's been a pleasure to chat with you Steffi, but why are you here?"
After taking in a big breath, Stephanie said, "Oh, Dr. Freudova, I am so disgusted with myself sometimes. I just don't know what to do."
"Steffi, you may call my Naomi, why is a successful, intelligent and attractive woman like you disgusted with herself?"
"I can hardly even tell you, Naomi, although I know you are a professional, but I have sexual fetishes or fantasies or whatever you call them that I can't get out of my head. These thoughts bother me even in the office and keep me from being completely satisfied with any of my partners. I don't know where I got such feelings although I can remember having them for almost twenty years. And, what's worst, I feel I really want to live these fantasies out although they are totally disgusting."
"Were you brought up in a religious family with a strict moral code."
"No, that's part of what is disturbing. I was brought up to be an independent woman with about the same sexual mores and moderately Christian beliefs as every other suburban upper middle-class white girl in my area. I was brought up to be Xenia or Buffy, so why do I have these fantasies of being a completely submissive sex toy that is used and abused by a dozen men at a time?"
There was a pause before Dr. Freudova said, "Science does not know what causes fetishes. Some think that they are caused by a sort of a crossed wire or weird association made in the brain when you are in puberty. For example, you go into the basement to get away from your parents to touch yourself and your mind somehow associates basements with sex. If one keeps building on this by continuing to masturbate while in a basement, the attachment becomes stronger. Later, you find yourself getting aroused whenever you go into a basement and might not even be able to become aroused outside of a basement. That's a theory but we don't know."
"I wish my problem was as easy as your basement example. I'd just rent a house with a basement. But as it is, I want to be the center of a degrading gang bang and worse. I'm thinking at work about turning myself over to a roomful of thugs to be humiliated, whipped and screwed in every way possible. I think at night about being forced to have unsafe sex and a dozen orgasms in front of a crowd before getting nipple and labia piercings and sick tattoos. I sometimes can't help thinking while I have breakfast about being left tied up in public with crude remarks written all over my torso and ten men's semen dripping out of my pussy. A trip to dairy country in California causes me to dream of being branded, bred and milked like a cow."
"Well, at least it doesn't involve piss, excrement, sex with animals, hanging yourself or being eaten," Naomi said in a voice that was slightly less sympathetic than intended.
"No, Naomi, it doesn't involve any of that, but I think you have to admit that it is quite bad enough. Now what can I do? Is there some sort of drug I can take to cure sick thoughts or can you attach a little buzzer to my clitoris that keeps it from getting excited by thoughts of me degrading or enslaving myself to inconsiderate men and keeps me from wanting to present myself to a construction crew, a bunch of criminal sadists or a slave trader when I really don't want to do anything of the sort?"
"Steffi, Steffi, Steffi, you know there is no such simple cure. You may just have to learn to live with the fact you have impulses you don't like and desires that you can't realize. Life involves choices, compromises and disappointments. Many girls cry when they learn that they are not good enough to be ballerinas or realize later that they are not going to marry a prince. But they just shape a life that doesn't involve ballet dancing or a prince.
"I suggest you try having sex or using your vibrator without thinking about a degrading gang bang so as to form new associations. Maybe you will form healthier mental connections. If you can't do that, well imagine that the vibrator or your partner is your eleventh man of the night at the end of your long night as a streetwalker. Neither the guy nor the sex toy can read your mind."
"I really like you Naomi, but for 160 dollars per hour you are not providing much of a service here. I got similar advice from a girlfriend for free. I don't want to have a fantasy. I want to have experiences I find disgusting and an unsafe life that rationally I know would be horrible. A rape that I've planned is not rape. I can't be humiliated by people I've asked to humiliate me. I can't satisfy a deep desire to be a slave by pretending to be a slave for a day knowing that I'm going to be a boss at work again Monday morning."
"Well, I'm sorry but your desires are not merely difficult to satisfy, they are self-contradictory. People who can't get over fantasies they don't want to live out have to learn to have fun with the fantasy without having to live it. There is nothing horrible about having a fantasy about a gang bang and, in fact, that fantasy can even be a good reality if you plan it properly, but you know that. Real rape in never acceptable but, as we discussed, it can be staged. You can be dominated in a consensual relationship with a man, or who knows, maybe even multiple men, based on love and trust. But you can't have a safe nonconsensual relationship built on misogamy. You want to be safe, but you don't want any compromise with your unsafe impulses."
"You are right, doctor, but I want what I want. I need you to cure the contradiction."
After another long pause, Dr. Freudova said, "There is one option although it is hardly orthodox or terribly safe or likely to work. It is to get a real look at what your irrational side wants and hope you are repulsed enough to get over it."
