It's time to begin your next session with Kim!
[[Go to Kim's Office->MeetKim-M]]"Great to see you again, Joanne", Kim greets.

[[Likewise]]
[[Glad to see you too->Likewise]]
[[Hello->Likewise]]"Great to see you again, $name", Kim greets.
[img[$domainpath + "01.png"]]
[[Hey Kim]]
[[Glad to see you too->Hey Kim]]
[[Hello->Hey Kim]]"Please, have a seat", Kim says as she goes to do the same.
[img[$domainpath + "02.png"]]
[[Sit]]As she makes herself comfortable, Kim says "I wanted to start right where we left off at last time".
"When we last talked, we established a little trend where your relationships were predominantly short-term ones", Kim outlines. "We also tied those conclusions to some of your more dominant tendencies".
"And perhaps those tendencies were manifesting in a physical manner as well", she continues.
"Are we on the same page so far?"
[img[$domainpath + "03.png"]]
[[Yes]]
[[Pretty much->Yes]]"I thought you could start by sharing some example stories where things getting physical may have been unhealthy for the relationship?"
"Can you think of anything?"
[img[$domainpath + "04.png"]]
[[Tell her the story about aggressive love making with an ex]]
[[Tell her the story about a video challenge contest]]
[[Tell her the christmas party story]]You begin telling Kim about what happened late one night with an ex-boyfriend.
//'It was a normal evening'//, you explain. //'For that time in our relationship anyways. We were making love... a lot'//.
//'Anyways, he'd taken me to a lovely restaurant and then we'd seen a play'//, you continue. //'It was a particularly perfect evening... so you know.. we went to the bedroom'//
//'He was on top of me.. and, I don't know, it just felt great. I felt envigorated'//, you explain. //'So I wrapped my legs around his waist.. Tight. Like, really tight'//.
//'So tight he made a funny grunting sound. I could tell he didn't like it. He tried to wriggle out and move positions but I was just ''so'' in the moment, you know?'//, you say as Kim patiently listens.
//'I just couldn't let go. Or, well.. I didn't want to. His face was turning red, but I was almost "there".. I kept him like that until I was finished'//
Kim waits for a pause before asking, "and how do you think that made him feel". Kim giggles and adds, "outside of that moment.. in the long run, I mean", for clarification.

[[Happy. Or at least it should have. He's lucky to have a strong woman that can do that to him]]Kim sits quietly waiting for you to tell her more.
You begin explaining, //'you know those "challenge" videos that are all popular these days?'//. Kim nods, so you continue, //'ya, they're like dares'//.
//'Anyways, my ex-boyfriend had a video channel at the time and they'd been asking us to do this thing called the "headscissor challenge"'//, you tell her. '//And so we did.. and in fairness he was just as much for it as I was'//.
You continue explaining, //'but that was before we did it.. afterwards, he refused to post it... and I was fine with that, because I felt like the video would make me look bad too anyways'//
//'I mean, what kind of girlfriend squeezes her boyfriend until he passes out and laughs as he gurggles'//, you reveal. //'In my own defense I didn't realize he was totally out right away. I lasted like 4 minutes when he did the leg move to me, but when I did it to him, he was out in seconds'//
Kim is eager to reply, "wow, good for you.. Err, uh, in the sense that you're in good enough shape to do that to him".
Kim shifts her tone more serious and asks, "but how do you think that made him feel?"

[[Angry->Ashamed?]]
[[Depressed->Ashamed?]]
[[Happy. Or at least it should have. He's lucky to have a strong woman that can do that to him]]Kim sits quietly waiting for you to tell her more.
You begin your story telling her about one of your exes that hated going to parties.
//'My friend was having this christmas party and I ''really'' wanted to go. I knew he wouldn't, but I gave him lots of warning and he'd agreed to it... admittedly under a lot of pressure from me'//, you explain.
//'But when the night came, he refused'//, you continue telling Kim. //'He was sitting on the couch watching TV. When I confronted him he stood up, but I shoved him back down before he had his balance'//.
//'As he went down, he pulled me with him.. out of instinct I presume. I know he wasn't trying to hurt me, but I was already pissed and that just made me ''lose'' it'//, you recall.
//'As I fell back his head was already near my legs.. I was wearing heels so I didn't want to kick him, but I was angry enough to want to teach him a lesson -- So I just locked my legs around his head'//, you explain.
//'His face went all red and he started grabbing at me, rocking side to side.. the more he moved, the tighter I got.. I didn't know what else to do'//, you continue telling Kim as she leans forward, waiting to hear what happened next.
//'He wore himself out pretty quickly and I just squished him to sleep.. as soon as I saw his eyes roll back, I knew he was done'//, you say. //'But I was still fucking PISSED'//
//'So.. I fucking dressed him for the party. Can't believe I'm telling anyone this, but yeah. He woke up when I was doing his pants up, totally confused. He just went along with it, like nothing even happened'//, you conclude.
Kim's eyebrows rise up as high as they can go. Kim asks, "so.. he went to the party with you?"
You nod. //'He was already mostly dressed for it by that point, haha'//
"How do you think that must have made him feel?", Kim asks curiously.

[[Happy. Or at least it should have. He's lucky to have a strong woman that can do that to him]]"Can you see how using your legs to make him feel that way might contribute to an unhealthy relationship?", Kim asks.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[Yes, but why is that my problem? I have to pretend to be weaker than him just to fulfill some gender stereotype fantasy?]]
[[No, because I didn't feel there was an issue]]"But I think you know he wasn't happy, was he?", Kim says.
"You crushed his ego. That imbalances the relationship in a way that becomes difficult to ever repair", Kim explains.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[Ok, but that's his flaw, not mine. Maybe he should be in therapy instead of me?->Yes, but why is that my problem? I have to pretend to be weaker than him just to fulfill some gender stereotype fantasy?]]
[[I disagree. He should be able to accept being crushed by me. It's his privilege, really->No, because I didn't feel there was an issue]]"Hey look, I'm not here to argue with you, Joanne", Kim says. "You might be totally right".
"I'm just trying to help you see it from his perspective. That's the only way we really learn", she says.
"Let's shift back to your perspective. How did this event make ''you'' feel?"
[img[$domainpath + "07.png"]]
[[Powerful -- Regardless of whether he liked it or not, I had complete and utter control of him]]
[[Happy -- I felt overwhelmed with happiness in the sensation of using my body to compete with him in this way->Powerful -- Regardless of whether he liked it or not, I had complete and utter control of him]]
[[Worried -- The moment of enjoyment was surpassed by the worry that I had just effectively ended another relationship->Powerful -- Regardless of whether he liked it or not, I had complete and utter control of him]]
[[Angry -- The more I squeezed him, the more I just wanted to let out my frustrations on him again->Powerful -- Regardless of whether he liked it or not, I had complete and utter control of him]]"You're not wrong to feel that way, Joanne", Kim agrees. "You're a confident woman. But we won't get very far if we can't understand the perspective of others too".
"By understanding what he was thinking, you can learn how to make the most out of these situations when they arise", she explains. "The worst thing we can do is to pretend problems don't exist".
"That's only half of the equation though", Kim continues. "Tell me how this event made ''you'' feel?"

"Focus on how it felt in the moment"
[img[$domainpath + "08.png"]]
[[Well, he was struggling. But I had him. That's the thing, I wasn't worried like he was. I knew I could make sure I squeezed him just enough to get what I wanted without injuring him]]
[[I just remember looking at his face. The more he frowned or whined and grimmaced, the bigger I felt my own smile getting. I couldn't help it->Well, he was struggling. But I had him. That's the thing, I wasn't worried like he was. I knew I could make sure I squeezed him just enough to get what I wanted without injuring him]]
[[At one point we made eye contact. And it was like we both knew his life was in my hands now.. or legs rather, heh. He was terrified->Well, he was struggling. But I had him. That's the thing, I wasn't worried like he was. I knew I could make sure I squeezed him just enough to get what I wanted without injuring him]]"How much of your feelings in that moment were sexual?", Kim asks.
"For instance, were you turned on by this kind of control over him? Or did it feel more like how it might feel if you beat him at a sport?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Oh, it was a turn-on for sure]]
[[Both. It was sexually gratifying but also felt like I'd beaten him at something at the same time]]
[[Purely competitive. It wasn't any different than beating him at tennis]]"And now you don't want to stop", Kim says with a knowing smile.
"That's why you're here, isn't it? You can't stop"
[img[$domainpath + "10.png"]]
[[Exactly]]
[[Ummm.. Maybe->Exactly]]"Well, therein lies the problem, doesn't it?", Kim asks rhetorically.
"You're getting the high of your life from wrapping up your boyfriends, but you end up squeezing them right out of your life", she continues.
"You're addicted to this, aren't you?"
[img[$domainpath + "10.png"]]
[[I.. suppose->Exactly]]
[[You're right. It didn't seem so simple before->Exactly]]"But if it's entirely non-sexual, why not just stop doing it?", Kim asks.
"Find a sport or something you could win at that he enjoys or is comparably good at?", she asks again.
"Problem solved", Kim concludes.
[img[$domainpath + "10.png"]]
[[Perhaps I could do that]]
[[But I don't want to stop..]]"I'm not going to sugar-coat this, Joanne", Kim says. "A lot of men are intimidated by a strong woman. I know this from experience too".
"When you add in a strong woman that also wants to, uhh.. squeeze them to a pulp between her thighs.. that's going to make a lot of them run for the fences", she says.
[img[$domainpath + "13.png"]]
[[So, what am I supposed to do?]]
[[Too bad for them. I'll keep doing what I like->So, what am I supposed to do?]]"I want you to sleep on it", Kim says.
"If you really feel that way, then give it a try", she says. "If you feel differently, then you can come back and see me".
"That's all for today", she states.
[img[$domainpath + "11.png"]]
[[Okay, thanks Kim. I'll do that->End1-early]]
[[Well.. If I'm being honest with myself, I don't think I can stop->But I don't want to stop..]] "Of course not", Kim says. "Because it is partly a sexual desire, isn't it?"
"You enjoy being dominant. That's perfectly normal", Kim assures. "It only becomes a problem when we pretend these feelings don't exist".
[img[$domainpath + "12.png"]]
[[I guess you're right->Exactly]] You shake hands with Kim and head to your car.
[[Try again->Intro]]
<a href="http://www.scissored.net/stories">Back to Stories</a>"Try to make it an experience that //they// can enjoy too!", Kim suggests. "Convince them it's a positive, rather than a negative. Like foreplay, for example".
[img[$domainpath + "14.png"]]
[[Any suggestions on how I can do that?]]"Yeah, ummm.. there could be lots of ways", Kim says with a pause. "Let's think about this for a second.."
Suddenly the door opens. You hear a female voice say, "oh shit, sorry!".
"April! I told you to knock!", Kim barks. "I'm so sorry, she says to you".
[img[$domainpath + "15.png"]]
[[No big deal. She can come in]]
[[It's fine, our time was just about up anyways->No big deal. She can come in]]"See April, you're lucky this is one of my nicer clients", Kim scolds.
"I said I was sorry. You told me you'd be done early", April replies.
"I know.. I.. forgot.. Errghh, just knock next time April!", Kim demands.
[img[$domainpath + "16.png"]]
[[Stand up and introduce yourself to April]]
[[Wait for them to finish]]"Nice to meet you Joanne, I'm April", she greets. "Sorry for interrupting".
[img[$domainpath + "17.png"]]
[[No problem April]]
[[Are you here for an appointment.. or?]]April turns to you and introduces herself.
"Sorry for the interruption", April says. "It sounded quiet in here and I thought Kim was long done".
[img[$domainpath + "17.png"]]
[[No problem April]]
[[Are you here for an appointment.. or?]]"Pretty sure Kim is about to give me a big lecture about this on our drive home, so you won't have to worry about it happening again", April jokes.
"You bet", Kim remarks in the background, with a stern grin.
[img[$domainpath + "18.png"]]
[[Hah, no big deal. I've gotta head out now->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]]
[[Ah, so you're Kim's girlfriend?->Oh? Are you two together?]]"Hah, no", April replies with a grin. "I just came to pick-up Kim.. we live together and I work nearby, so yeah.. we carpool".
[img[$domainpath + "18.png"]]
[[Nice to meet Kim's partner]]
[[Oh? Are you two together?]]
[[Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]]"Okay thanks! See you next week", Kim says.
"Bye Joanne!", April says with a pleasant smile.
[img[$domainpath + "24.png"]]
[[Try Again->Intro]]
<a href="http://www.scissored.net/stories">Back to Stories</a>"Oh no, we're not-- you know... We're not a couple", April says, holding back a laugh.
"We're old friends.. and living together saves money for now", April explains. "Besides, she's out of my league, haha", April jokes.
"Oh, please", Kim replies, rolling her eyes at April's self-deprecating joke.
[img[$domainpath + "19.png"]]
[[Flirt -- I find it hard to believe anyone could be out of your league]]
[[Thank Kim for the session]]"With this sexy beast over here? I wish!", April teases. "I'm not hot enough for her! She keeps me in the 'friend zone'"
"Oh stop", Kim scoffs.
"I'm kidding", April continues. "We're old friends just saving some pennies by living together, temporarily".
[img[$domainpath + "19.png"]]
[[Gotcha. Well thanks again Kim. I think this is starting to help->Thank Kim for the session]]
[[Flirt -- Hah! Not hot enough? Clearly she's not into girls]]
"Thanks", April says, trying to hide a shy smile.
Kim chirps, "and contrary to her little jokes, I'm //not// out of her league, I just prefer dating men".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Listen]]
"You're very welcome, Joanne", Kim says. "I've found our meetings very productive thus far".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Alright, I'll be heading out now->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]] "Well, thanks", April says, trying to hide a shy smile.
"You're actually spot on, Joanne", Kim tells you. "April's great, but I prefer dating men".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Smile->Listen]]"Besides..", Kim starts to grin at April. "It's not like she ever asked me out".
April jeers back, "yeah, because you're too damn high maintenance", producing a laugh out of both of them.
[img[$domainpath + "21.png"]]
[[Check out April's legs]]
[[Say Goodbye->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]] [img[$domainpath + "22.png"]]
[[Look up]]
[[Say Goodbye->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]] "Better get outta here before you have to watch the next part where Kim tries to shame me into working out with her today", April teases.
"You //know// you're coming with me to the gym", Kim barbs.
[img[$domainpath + "23.png"]]
[[Alright, have a good day, ladies->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you]] "Please, have a seat", Kim says as she goes to do the same.
[img[$domainpath + "02.png"]]
[[Sit->SitM]]"Let's start with a little refresher on my takeaways from our last meeting", Kim begins.
"One of the key break-throughs we had was in acknowledging the pattern of unexpected conclusions to your romantic relationships as an obstruction to your happiness", she says.
"However, as we looked deeper, it seemed that maybe they weren't so unexpected after all", Kim continues. "We found that the decline may be caused by deviating from traditional gender roles".
"Does that sound right?", she asks.
[img[$domainpath + "03.png"]]
[[Correct]]
[[It's more complicated, but that's a fair start]]
"Good", Kim replies. "Now, let's get into the part we didn't have time for in our last session".
"I was looking for examples from your past relationships where you felt your roles were starting to become inverted, or at least changing in that direction", she says.
"Can you share an example for me now?"
[img[$domainpath + "04.png"]]
[[Tell her the TV remote story]]
[[Tell her the carry-race story]]
"Right, that's actually where I wanted to continue our discussion", Kim replies.
"I want to make sure I'm not misinterpreting what you mean by the gender roles becoming switched around", Kim explains. "The best way I felt to do that was for you to share an example of this happening in the past".
"Can you do that for me?"
[img[$domainpath + "04.png"]]
[[Tell her the TV remote story]]
[[Tell her the carry-race story]]You begin telling Kim what happened one night when you were fighting over the TV remote with an ex...
//'So, she's watching this show that she KNOWS I hate'//, you explain. //'I swear she does it on purpose'//
//'I tried mentioning some other things that were on TV that we both might like, but she was ignoring me'//, you continue. //'Then I playfully tried to grab the remote from her'//.
//'It started playful, but then I got a bit frustrated at not being able to pull it from her grip.. that, combined with her ignoring me, really started getting me annoyed'//, you tell Kim, who nods. '//So I went to yank it as hard as I can and I banged my elbow'//.
//'Making things worse, she laughs at me. Without even looking at me, she just keeps staring at the screen and laughs. Can you believe that?'//, you ask rhetorically.
//'Now I was determined to take the damn thing from her.. So I got on top of her. She shoved me away with her legs. I pounced towards her again, shoving one of her feet away so that she couldn't push me again'//.
You pause for a moment to think of whether you should reveal the rest of the story to Kim...
"Go on", Kim encourages you to continue.
[img[$domainpath + "05.png"]]
[[Tell Kim the rest of the story]]
[[Lie -- Tell Kim you took the remote and that was all]]You continue, //'Anyways, with her feet at my sides and not being able to use them to shove me away again, I was sure I had her.. So I reached for the remote'//.
//'It was right at my fingertips when she leaned back onto the arm of the couch and held it away from me'//, you tell her. //'No problem, right? Just lean over and grab it? Nope! Can't. I was stuck.. like my arm was moving but the rest of my body wasn't coming with it'//
//'Didn't take a second to realize that she was using her legs around my waist to keep me out of reach.. I couldn't believe it'//, you explain. //'The worst part? She wouldn't let go'//.
Kim gives you a sympathetic look.
You continue, //'So, she's there all stretched out like a cat across the couch watching her stupid show, and I'm stuck there like an idiot between her legs'//
Kim waits a moment and asks, "tell me more about how that made you feel?"
[img[$domainpath + "25.png"]]
[[Helpless -- Even though I lost my temper, she was able to make me do exactly what she wanted]]
[[Frustrated -- She held me in place the whole fucking episode. Didn't even look at me]]
[[Embarrassed -- She made me ask her permission to get up and leave. And she only said yes because I told her I had to piss]]
[[Furious -- I didn't think a woman should be able to restrain a man so easily]]
"Sorry, I'm not understanding", Kim replies with confusion. "So, you had a fight over the TV remote and you won?"
"How does that relate to gender stereotypes being reversed?", Kim asks you. "Are you sure that's //all// you have to tell me?"
[img[$domainpath + "13.png"]]
[[Admit there's more and finish the story->Tell Kim the rest of the story]]
[[Tell her a different story instead->Tell her the carry-race story]]
"$name, you seem like a really nice guy", Kim says. "I imagine it takes a lot for you to lose your temper".
"That's probably what made this such a shock for you", Kim states.
"Rage puts us in our most dominant state of mind. You are the kind of person that doesn't normally feel the need to dominate others, but in this instance you truly wanted to", she goes on.
"But that's when she made you realize you weren't capable of dominating her; She was going to dominate //you// instead", Kim summarizes.
"As the days went on, how did you feel? Did the feeling start to build inside of you?", she asks
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"I understand, $name", Kim reassures. "It's not fun to be ignored and physically controlled".
"This certainly doesn't sound like a healthy relationship, but you don't want that to turn into a virus that sabotages your other relationships too", she says.
"You may meet other women that enjoy being in control. Even physically", Kim states. "But you have to decide if that works for you and make sure it happens on your terms too".
"As time went on, did you start to feel at peace at all? Or did your frustration get worse?"
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[No, not worse. Just different, eventually. It was like I craved that frustration again->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"And it's your right to feel that way, $name", Kim says.
"Just don't let that feeling control you, the way her legs did", she adds. "In a way, she still has you trapped now, if you can't move past that feeling of embarrassment".
"Do you think you managed to move past that feeling of embarrassment over time?", she asks.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[Yeah, that's what's weird about it. Eventually I started to desire that feeling->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"But this woman //was// able to do just that", Kim says. "$name, I understand that re-calibrating our expectations can cause anger, but we have to deal with it as best we can"
"And it's important not to personalize things too much", Kim assures. "I can assure you that you're not the first man to be over-powered by their girlfriend".
"Stereotypes are just that; Generalizations with exceptions that aren't always accurate to each individual", she explains.
"We can learn to accept and overcome these negative emotions in the long term", Kim says. "So, how did your emotions evolve in the long term?"
"Did the anger grow?", she asks.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[No, actually. It twisted around completely into a strange desire->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]
[[Eventually the anger went away. As I dated more, I started to crave those emotions instead of resent them->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]You begin telling Kim what happened on a weekend afternoon, at a couples event contest...
//'So, have you heard of a "Wife-carrying" competition?'//, you ask Kim. She shakes her head "no".
//'Didn't think so.. it's a thing in Finland. A Finnish couple we knew invited us to an event they were having here for it'//, you explain. //'Basically it's a race, but the catch is that the man is carrying his wife while he's running.'//
//'Anyways, my girlfriend and I weren't married but they bugged us to join in for fun and we did'//, you proceed with the story.
//'Problem is, she was one of the most competitive girls I'd dated; and we were losing the race'//, you say to Kim. //'So, she's complaining the entire time.. Shit, I'm doing all the work carrying her through a race and all she can do is tell me I'm not going fast enough'//.
//'The more she yells at me, the more angry we both get'//, you tell her.
//'The next part you'll have to visualize.. In wife-carrying, the woman wraps herself around the man, to make it a bit easier for him'//, you try to paint the picture for Kim. //'So imagine her upside down with her chest to my back and her face towards my bottom. This puts her pelvis facing the back of my neck so that she can grab my waist with her arms and my neck with her legs to hang on'//
//'Getting the the point... I eventually lost my temper and yelled at her that she was holding me too tight'//, you explain. //'Can you guess what she does next?'//
//'She grips me tighter! Just to spite me for being in last place at this point.. wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for her legs wringing my neck'//
Kim waits for you to finish the story.
"So, you came in last place by the end?", Kim asks.
[img[$domainpath + "05.png"]]
[[No, we came in 2nd place]]
[[Lie -- Yeah]]
"Oh, wow.. It's not 1st place, but the way your story was going, it sounded like you and her had a fight because you finished last", Kim says with surprise.
You explain the rest of the story to Kim...
//'It's the way we got 2nd that bothers me.. I told you she kept squeezing me too tight with her legs, trying to hang on to me as I ran'//, you explain.
//'Well, it didn't take long for me to pass out'//, you continue. //'She was so angry with me, she picked ME up and ran the rest of the race herself'//.
//'And we started winning, so it's not like I could tell her to put me down.. Everyone was cheering us on'//, you tell Kim. //'But as she carried me, I could see lots of people laughing at me, along with the cheers'//.
//'We were the only couple to even attempt the race with the woman carrying the man, instead of the other way around'//
"I, uhhh.. I see", Kim replies. "As she carried you across the finish line, how were you feeling?"
[img[$domainpath + "25.png"]]
[[Ashamed -- I felt liked I'd been publicly violated by my girlfriend]]
[[Angry -- I wanted her to lose SO badly. To just collapse under my weight]]
[[Afraid -- If she can squeeze me to sleep and run me around a race in public, what could she do to me if I stood up to her in private?]]"I'm really sorry to hear it didn't go so well", Kim says.
"Describe how you felt by the end of the race?"
[img[$domainpath + "13.png"]]
[[Ashamed -- Her legs were really wearing me out even more than the running and I didn't wanna admit it->Ashamed -- I felt liked I'd been publicly violated by my girlfriend]]
[[Angry -- This was MY chance to show off and she had to make it about her strength, squeezing the energy out of me to make a point]]
"$name, it's perfectly normal to worry about what others think", Kim says.
"You were in front of a lot of people and your girlfriend put on a display of unexpected strength", she continues. "It's not necessarily a //bad// thing that she was stronger than you".
"What's bad is how it made you feel, because of the way she went about it", Kim explains.
"What we want to do here is get rid of that negative feeling so that it stops harming your future relationships"
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[That's the thing. As time went on, it switched into a positive feeling that I desire all the time->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"Totally understandable, $name", Kim agrees.
"We're all entitled to our own bodily freedom", she says. "By knocking you out and carrying you in the race without your consent, she denied you that freedom".
"You had every right to feel angry", Kim says. "But that was then, and this is now..."
"How has that feeling changed? Or has it changed?", she asks.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[It has changed. Over time it changed into a desire->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"Nobody should feel afraid of their partner, $name", Kim says. "Ever".
"However, there's nothing wrong with her being physically //capable// of dominating you", she notes.
"What matters is //how// this physical capability makes you feel", Kim concludes.
"You were afraid back then, but has your feeling of fear subsided?", she asks
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[Yes, it has. I got over it, but I eventually started to crave the feeling, oddly enough->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]"Wait, sorry", Kim pauses. "I want to make sure I follow you".
"It sounds as if you're saying that this traumatic experience has actually had such an impact on you that it's morphed into a great desire", she reviews.
"To put it bluntly.. You ''want'' a woman who can control you with her body?", Kim asks, looking for confirmation.
[img[$domainpath + "07.png"]]
[[Right]]
[[Sort of. It's not that simple though]]"Great, great", Kim says, nodding slowly. You can almost see the thoughts racing through her mind.
"Keep in mind $name, extremes can often be unhealthy", Kim warns. "A negative obsession or a positive obsession can both be bad if you don't know how to handle it".
[img[$domainpath + "08.png"]]
[[Do you think this is... weird?]]
[[I don't think it's an obsession]]
[[I might be obsessed at this point]]"Alright... Please, do explain", Kim asks.
"Is the complicated part physical, or in the attitude of the woman?"
[img[$domainpath + "08.png"]]
[[Physical]]
[[Attitude]]
[[Both]] "Okay, I think I'm understanding this.. Yes, that makes sense", Kim says. "It's not hard to imagine how a man would enjoy having a pair of legs wrapped around him".
She pauses for a moment to think..
"$name, have you opened up about this to other women, besides myself", Kim asks.
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Yes->Yes1]]
[[No->No1]]"I see... so a woman with a strong physique but a passive attitude may not create the same feeling for you", she says.
"Just bear in mind that sometimes a woman may seem passive in public, but once you get to know her in her most private moments, she may enjoy playing a more aggressive role", Kim notes.
"That being said, have you had any private discussions with other women about this?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Yes->Yes1]]
[[No->No1]]"So a powerful body and a powerful mind both contribute to the experience", Kim says. "That really clicks to me.. I think I'm starting to understand."
"This sounds not unlike most other sexual experiences where it's not just about the sense of touch but the words and the passion around it as well that can make it hyper-sensitive", Kim says.
"Tell me, have you brought this up to any other women before me?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Yes->Yes1]]
[[No->No1]]
"Perfect", she replies. "And when you first discussed this with your ex-girlfriend, how did she react?"
[img[$domainpath + "10.png"]]
[[I only told a close female friend. Never a girlfriend]]
[[For most of my dating time, I never had this interest. As I said in the story, I hated it. By the time that changed, I never revealed it to a girl I was dating->I only told a close female friend. Never a girlfriend]]"I think that's where we should go next with this", Kim says.
"Not right away.. but start thinking about how you could share this with a woman in a way that would be enjoyable for her too", she suggests.
"Maybe she enjoys the competition, or maybe it's foreplay, or some kind of sexual gratification. Or maybe she'll just get a kick out of using her body to control you", Kim continues. "But make it clear to her that this is tied your admiration of her body".
[img[$domainpath + "10.png"]]
[[Alright->Alright1]]
[[What if I don't want to tell anyone?]]"It's not particularly common, but it's not weird either", Kim replies. "If anything, it would be more weird if you were a heterosexual male that //didn't// like having a beautiful woman wrapped around him".
"In fact, I think if you opened up to more women about this, you might find many of them quite fascinated by it and willing to explore it with you", she explains.
"Have you tried discussing it with any of your past girlfriends?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Yes->Yes1]]
[[No->No1]]"That's good, I'm glad you feel you have some control over it", Kim says. "That's important".
"How have past girlfriends reacted when you've revealed this interest to them?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[I've never really revealed it to a girlfriend->No1]]"That's okay, we can figure it out together", Kim reassures.
"Repressing an interest can contribute to an unhealthy obsession", she says. "So, exploring it with a woman could actually //help//."
"Have you opened up to any other women about this?"
[img[$domainpath + "09.png"]]
[[Yes->Yes1]]
[[No->No1]]"Not everyone will want to explore this with you.. just like not every woman you date will want to eat the same food as you", Kim says.
"That's the part you'll have to figure out", she states.
"But being open about it.. at the right time, of course.. can really open up a great thing for you"
[img[$domainpath + "11.png"]]
[[Alright, thanks]]
[[How can I find the right person?]]"Think back to the story you told me earlier", Kim says. "You experienced negative feelings because your girlfriend was going ahead and doing what //she// wanted with you, regardless of whether you wanted it too".
"For this to be healthy, it has to be a mutual thing with you and your partner", she explains.
"If you can find the right woman, I really feel this could become a beautiful thing for both of you"
[img[$domainpath + "11.png"]]
[[Can you help me find the right woman?->How can I find the right person?]]
[[Ok, thank you for the advice Kim->Alright, thanks]]"I wish I could solve that part for you, $name but I can't", Kim says. "Unfortunately, this isn't a dating service".
"Trust me, I have enough friends that would also love for me to be able to set them up with the perfect person, but I don't have that kind of power", she says.
"You'll just have to dive in and explore.. if you really want this"
[img[$domainpath + "12.png"]]
[[Ok, thanks, I'll try->Alright, thanks]]Suddenly the door opens. You hear a female voice say, "oh shit, sorry!".
"April! I told you to knock!", Kim barks. "I'm so sorry, she says to you".
[img[$domainpath + "15.png"]]
[[No problem, I have to leave soon anyways]]"It's going to be important for you to be honest about this", Kim says. "You're off to a great start by being honest about your feelings with yourself, and now with me too".
"But eventually you'll need to be honest with a woman you love as well", she remarks.
"One of the reasons your stories were negative experiences was because you and your partner weren't on the same page, right?", Kim says. "Talking about this is the way to //get// on the same page".
"So, find the right girl, and when the time is right: Talk about it"
[img[$domainpath + "11.png"]]
[[I understand. I'll try->Alright, thanks]]
[[Finding the right girl is the hard part though->How can I find the right person?]] "You're lucky he's being nice, April", Kim scolds.
"I said I was sorry. You told me you'd be done early", April replies.
"I know.. I.. forgot.. Errghh, just knock next time April!", Kim demands.
[img[$domainpath + "16.png"]]
[[Introduce yourself to April]]"Nice to meet you $name, I'm April", she greets. "Sorry for interrupting".
[img[$domainpath + "17.png"]]
[[Glad to meet another one of Kim's clients]]
[[No worries]]"Hah, no", April replies with a grin. "I just came to pick-up Kim.. we live together and I work nearby, so yeah.. we carpool".
[img[$domainpath + "18.png"]]
[[Ah, so you're together?->Nice to meet Kim's partner1]]
[[Oh? Are you two together?->Oh? Are you two together?1]]
[[Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]]"Pretty sure Kim is about to give me a big lecture about this on our drive home, so you won't have to worry about it happening again", April jokes.
"You bet", Kim remarks in the background, with a stern grin.
[img[$domainpath + "18.png"]]
[[Hah, no big deal. I've gotta head out now->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]]
[[Ah, so you're Kim's girlfriend?->Oh? Are you two together?1]]"Oh no, we're not-- you know... We're not a couple", April says, holding back a laugh.
"We're old friends.. and living together saves money for now", April explains. "Besides, she's out of my league, haha", April jokes.
"Oh, please", Kim replies, rolling her eyes at April's self-deprecating joke.
[img[$domainpath + "19.png"]]
[[Flirt -- I find it hard to believe anyone could be out of your league->Flirt -- I find it hard to believe anyone could be out of your league1]]
[[Thank Kim for the session->Thank Kim for the session1]]"With this sexy beast over here? I wish!", April teases. "I'm not hot enough for her! She keeps me in the 'friend zone'"
"Oh stop", Kim scoffs.
"I'm kidding", April continues. "We're old friends just saving some pennies by living together, temporarily".
[img[$domainpath + "19.png"]]
[[Gotcha. Well thanks again Kim. I think this is starting to help->Thank Kim for the session1]]
[[Flirt -- Hah! Not hot enough? Clearly she's not into girls->Flirt -- Hah! Not hot enough? Clearly she's not into girls1]]
"Okay thanks! See you next week", Kim says.
"Bye $name!", April says with a pleasant smile.
[img[$domainpath + "24.png"]]
[[Try Again->Intro]]
<a href="http://www.scissored.net/stories">Back to Stories</a>"You're very welcome, $name", Kim says. "I've found our meetings very productive thus far".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Alright, I'll be heading out now->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]] "Well, thanks", April says, trying to hide a shy smile.
"You're actually spot on, $name", Kim tells you. "April's great, but I prefer dating men".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Smile->Listen1]]"Thanks", April says, trying to hide a shy smile.
Kim chirps, "and contrary to her little jokes, I'm //not// out of her league, I just prefer dating men".
[img[$domainpath + "20.png"]]
[[Listen->Listen1]]"Besides..", Kim starts to grin at April. "It's not like she ever asked me out".
April jeers back, "yeah, because you're too damn high maintenance", producing a laugh out of both of them.
[img[$domainpath + "21.png"]]
[[Check out April's legs->Check out April's legs1]]
[[Say Goodbye->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]][img[$domainpath + "22.png"]]
[[Look up->Look up1]]
[[Say Goodbye->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]] "Better get outta here before you have to watch the next part where Kim tries to shame me into working out with her today", April teases.
"You //know// you're coming with me to the gym", Kim barbs.
[img[$domainpath + "23.png"]]
[[Alright, see ya round!->Great.. Well, It was nice meeting you1]] "You had every right to feel angry", Kim says. "But that was then, and this is now..."
"How has that feeling changed? Or has it changed?", she asks.
[img[$domainpath + "06.png"]]
[[It has changed. Over time it changed into a desire->No, that's the strange thing. As I dated other people I eventually started to crave the feeling]]
