SOME MAY BE ATTRACTED TO WEAK/WEIRD MEN--BUT NOT ME.

Raised in the South, I probably read “Gone With The Wind” more than six times. Each time it sickened me to see Scarlett, such a beautiful and strong woman, so determined to capturing Ashley--- an insipidly weak and passive man. I never liked weak men yet somehow, like bird dogs in heat, they seemed to find me.

Perhaps, in the beginning, I was flattered by all the attention but soon--- I’d had enough of his submissive behavior and unnatural comments.  Nervous, I put on my own shoes, muttered something about another appointment, and walked away. Normally, I would be attracted to a man in uniform but not this time and not this man.

Shortly after moving back to Little Rock in the early-eighties, I received a phone call from a young man expressing his desire to be my slave.   He described how I needed to spank him because he’s been a very bad boy.  Speechless, I listened to him talk about how he wanted to get on all fours, like a dog, and have me sit on him.  Intrigued, I agreed to meet him for lunch.

 The nice-looking man, wearing a fashionable, expensive suit, appeared quite manly.  I soon learned he was 25 years younger than me. When I asked his profession, he handed me a business card listing him as a stockbroker with a well-known company.  After lunch, my curiosity now satisfied, I explained to the young man that I had no interest in participating in his fantasies. His offer of money, though tempting, would  only make me feel like a prostitute.  Trust me....It’s Hell to maintain integrity when money is scarce.
 
 
 
 Every day, I continued my commitment to stay in shape by running.  My favorite place to run was the nature trail that paralleled the Arkansas river.   One summer, I began getting mysterious calls from a man who had, apparently, been following me during my runs.  The mysterious caller could describe the various items I wore and the exact time of day I went running. I listened as he described how he wanted me to stand on his chest, kick him, urinate on him, and strangle his neck between my “powerful and long legs.”

I taped three of his very explicit phone calls then played the tapes for the Little Rock police department.  They quickly urged me to arrange  a meeting with the mysterious caller.  The chief of police assured me I wouldn't be alone,  that special officers in an unmarked car would follow me to the meeting spot. Knowing the mystery man could be dangerous, I felt relieved that the police would be nearby to arrest my caller.  I was more-than-ready for the stressful phone calls to end.  

Soon after I arrived at the designated meeting spot, the mystery man pulled up in a late-model Mercedes convertible, got out, and walked toward my car. Without so much as a glance inside, he opened the door and climbed in. Immediately, six policemen, guns pulled, surrounded my car and took control.

I couldn’t have been more shocked when I looked into the face of my mysterious caller. I recognized him… in fact, I knew his wife.  He was a wealthy businessman....who was married to another Miss Arkansas.
