Dr. Balis:
|
|
Good afternoon Sarah. How was your holidays?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Fine thanks. And yours?
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Very nice, thank you. Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yes and no. We've been invited to several parties, but I'm not really in the partying mood. My friend Lisa and her husband are going to Las Vegas for New Year's Eve! Now that might be fun!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Speaking of Lisa and her husband, last time we talked you said you had agreed to meet Glen for lunch. Did that meeting take place?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Oh yes, we had lunch. Then we went across the street to a sleazy motel and had an afternoon of incredible sex!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Oh?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
I certainly didn't plan it. It just happened, you know? It really was great though!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Do you want to talk about this?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
I'm not sure there's much to talk about. We had lunch, we talked, we had sex. Then we had sex again. And then once more!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
But you were extremely concerned about not hurting your friend Lisa. Has that changed? Do you not care anymore?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
No, of course that hasn't changed. Okay, here's the deal. Lisa knew about it.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
I'm afraid I don't understand.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
It seems my friend has a fetish that she's never told me about. She likes to hear about the women that her husband fucks. She likes to hear all the details, then it turns her on so much they have wild sex. I'm told that she sometimes likes to watch too.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
So how did you come about this information?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Christmas Eve we all got together: Lisa and Glen and Jeff, Robby and I. I felt a little awkward at first. The man I'm married to, the man I love, and the man I've agreed to meet for lunch, all in one room. We had a few drinks, everyone was in a good mood, and Lisa pulled me out on to the patio to talk. When Lisa starts drinking she can get really mouthy, so when she told me that Glen had told her we were meeting for lunch on Friday, I was sure exactly why she was telling me. My first thought was "Oh shit!" I said, "Lisa, I'm sorry....", but then she cut me off and put her arms around me and started laughing. Naturally by this point I'm totally confused.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes, I can understand.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
She just started giggling and telling me, "Shhh, be quiet. I don't want Glen to know that I told you I know."
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Now I'm really confused.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yeah so was I, but then she started telling me how "The Game" usually works. Usually, it's someone Lisa doesn't know. Seems if there's a women Glen is attracted to--say someone he works with--they get together a few times for some great sex, Glen tells Lisa all the details, the woman doesn't feel bad about hurting anyone...everyone's happy!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
So why did Lisa decide to tell you about The Game?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
That's exactly what I asked her! She said she knew how I would feel if Glen and I had sex. The remorse, guilt, et cetera, et cetera. She wanted me to know it was okay with her and she wanted me to have a good time without feeling bad about it.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
She seems to be quite open-minded.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yes, she's always been that way. I just never realized to what extent.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Okay, so Lisa basically grants permission for you and her husband to have an affair. What happened after that?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
First of all, it wasn't an affair. To me, an affair is something that's done behind someone's back....there's potential for hurt in an affair. What Glen and I did was two friends spending some quality time together. No one gets hurt, and everyone gains some sort of benefit from The Game.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
All right, in your mind it's not an affair. You and Glen spend the afternoon together in a cheap motel...
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Sleazy. There's a difference.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Excuse me. You and Glen spend the afternoon together in a sleazy motel and Glen didn't know you had already talked to Lisa about it, is that correct?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Right. Part of what turns Glen on is the seduction, so I let him seduce me. Actually, it was the best part of The Game. He's really good at what he does. I was about ready to go off before he even had my clothes off!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
So you pretend not to know about The Game, and Glen seduces you and you end up having sex three times that afternoon?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yes and one time the next day.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
The next day? Was that part of The Game also?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Sure. We did it in their garage, on his workbench.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Did Lisa know about that time?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Not ahead of time, but he told her soon after.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
And she was still okay with that?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Oh definitely! But I still have to pretend that I don't know about The Game. If Glen knew I was playing a role in it, he wouldn't enjoy it as much. As I said, he gets off on the seduction part. It would be hard to seduce someone who was willing to....well you know.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes, I'm beginning to see the picture. So earlier, when you said it wasn't planned, that it just happened, you weren't really being honest?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
No I wasn't. I wasn't sure if I should tell you, but then I figured what the hell. I've told you everything else about my twisted life.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Sarah, I can certainly understand if there are things you'd rather not discuss with me, but being honest when we do discuss things will always produce the best results from our sessions.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yes I know that. I just wasn't sure what your reaction would be, but like I said, you've never judged me on anything before so I decided to come clean.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
I'm not here to judge you, Sarah. I just want to help you understand the feelings and emotions that you have and help you make the right decisions for yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
And I appreciate that more than you know.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Thank you. So tell me, have you talked with Lisa about the events that have occurred between you and Glen?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Yes, we've talked at length. She is one wild woman! Glen came home and told her all about how he seduced me, and that he almost had me talked into having sex in the car, but I insisted on the sleazy motel across the street. We both laughed because she knows how I've been feeling lately...sexually frustrated and all. Hell, it was all I could do to keep from saying, "Glen, do me right here right now!" Anyway Lisa told me that Glen really enjoyed himself and she wondered if I enjoyed myself too. I told her that I definitely had a good time. Then she asked me if I'd ever had anyone who was so big.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Big? I thought you said he was muscular but slight of build.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Come on, Dr. B. Big, you know? His penis?
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Oh.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
I'm sorry if I embarrass you.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
No no, that's fine. Please continue.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Well, I was quite impressed with his playing piece. My god, I think he's probably as big around as a soup can! Anyway, it was all good and wonderful and fun, and I'm going to do it again as soon as possible!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
It does sound as though you have found a relief valve, but are you sure this is safe?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Well, if you mean "safe" as in safe sex, we used a condom every time.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes that, but also safe as in emotionally safe? I'm concerned that down the line you may begin to regret playing The Game with Lisa and her husband.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Dr. B., right now the game has put something back into my life that's been missing for a long time. I feel fulfilled and...filled!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
But what about emotionally? Are you filled emotionally, Sarah?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
No, I suppose not. But being physically fulfilled can replace emotional needs, at least for awhile anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes, but I just hope you don't start getting the two confused and....
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
Oh would you look at the time! I've got to get going. Can we set something up for same time next week?
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes that's fine. Next Monday, January 6th at 2:00 pm.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Wright:
|
|
That'll be great. Thanks Dr. B. See you next week.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Goodbye Sarah.
