Shelia’s Dilemma Chapter 1:
Shelia Anderson thought of herself as a normal average sort of person at least she used to think such of herself. She is a 22 years old attractive female. She has no children and is very relieved to have just escaped a very bad marriage. She married Steve soon after graduating high school. They had known each other for several years when they began dating and fell in love. Shelia thought Steve was the perfect match for her and in the beginning it was a fairytale marriage. But then Steve began to change.
The problem began with Steve’s long hours of surfing the Internet. Shelia was not aware of it as a problem at first but after a while when at home Steve was always in his study on the computer. On most nights Steve arrived home at 5:30, ate dinner, took a quick shower and disappeared to his study. Shelia would not see him again till the next morning. She would go to bed without him and she would be asleep when he came to bed. This began happening every night and on the weekends it was even worse.
She attempted to discuss her anxieties over the distance growing between them but he was not interested. He would just shrug his shoulder and go back to what he was doing. One night Shelia noticed Steve was looking at very pornographic pictures.
“Steve, I don’t like it you are looking at those kinds of pictures,” she said.
“It doesn’t hurt anything. It’s not like I’m cheating on you or anything,” he replied.
“But I just don’t like. It’s not right.”
“I like seeing something different and it does not hurt anything,” Steve explained becoming irritated.
“But when we make love you will be thinking of all those women.”
“It’s good to have a little spice in our sex life. It has been pretty boring lately anyway. And you never let me look at your body. You never wear anything sexy,” he said giving her a rather angry look.
“Maybe you could get some ideas from these pictures,” he mumbled loud enough for Shelia to hear them as she left the room.
Shelia was hurt by his statements. They had been married for a little over a year and Shelia thought Steve was happy with her as a sexual partner. Their sex life had decreased over the past few months since Steve was always on the computer when she went to bed but she did not think it was a large problem. Shelia had always been very shy about her body even with Steve. Her shyness began a long time ago. Shelia did not want to pursue the subject because she knew where it was end. Steve had often complained about her inhibitions but she always held firm even if he did not like it.
Steve had always liked computers and the Internet. However, once he found all the different selection of nude women he was hooked. From newsgroups, to websites, to chat groups, he went everywhere. It was one particular website that drastically changed things. Steve was already addicted to pornography but when he viewed the website he was trapped. Steve did not know it but this site was a trapped filled with subliminal programs and spy ware. It just happen Steve was particularly susceptible to these techniques of embedding messages directed at the viewer’s unconscious mental processes in pictures and videos of nude women. Steve spent hours looking at the website’s large selection of such pictures. Each time the site added various messages flowed into Steve’s unconscious and spy ware loaded into his computer. These slowly worked to influence Steve’s thinking and to take over his computer. Both Steve and his compute became infected. Steve had no idea of what was happening. He just knew how much he enjoyed the site.
One of the subliminal programs focused on the Steve’s deep feelings insecurity. The messages stimulated these unconscious processes and manipulated them by substitution of pleasurable desires. This particular program stimulated the insecurities and then placated those feelings by offering feelings of power and dominance. It used pictures of women in various bondage situations with the male in totally control to influence it victims. Steve soon learned to love photos of women tied, humiliated, and raped. There was an abundance of these photos on this site and all were all encoded with similar messages that further reinforced the insecurities placated by power creating a cycle over and over again. Each time Steve visited the site he became more susceptible to the influences and soon was trapped.
The owner of the website, George Harris was a strange man with a vendetta against everyone. George was a very bright man and a computers guru. He was a dangerous man having been trained by the military in brainwashing techniques and other manipulations many using computers. In those days he had a very high top secret clearance and believed he was properly serving his country. However, these activities left a dark side to George and as he grew older he became a very cynical individual. His experience with his ex-wife and legal conflicts that led to his arrests left him very angry. His wife attempted to take everything he own; however, she did not know about George’s hidden accounts. When he was released from jail he had a very different opinion about the United State’s Justice System and a very different opinion of the United Stated. Soon after his release he left the US and settled in Belize. George’s had several bank accounts in the country and knew living costs were relatively inexpensive in Belize.
Also and more important Belize was a good placed to disappear. The government left people alone as long as they did not create problems. George was able settle down and found a small house outside of town. Here, he used his computer expertise to set up an advanced satellite communication system he used for connections to the internet among other things. He easily hacked into various internet satellite servers giving him free unlimited internet access. Through his hack he could access the Internet in a disguised manner so he could not be located. George then put his knowledge to work and created his website using techniques developed by the military but creatively and expertly enhanced by him. At first he mostly wanted to discover what the possibilities were. If he was able to influence others through special designed website he would see where that led him. He knew sex was a powerful motivator so he that is where he began his work.
George knew most people who viewed porno were men and he knew they would be unable to resist a free porno site full of pictures and videos that he had pirated from many sources. He did not advertise his site but made it available enough to snag a few people into his web without attracting undue attention. Steve was one of those people.
