There’s one aspect of sexual
harassment that has me scratching my head. It’s all these reports about men
getting their rocks off by forcing their victims to watch them get their rocks
off. Surely these men don’t think women are turned on watching men “pleasure
themselves.” Or if they did think this on their first outing, wouldn’t they
eventually have figured out that the ladies’ facial contortions did not reflect
the throes of ecstasy? After all, based on the reports, these aren’t one-off
occurrences.
Obviously it’s the men who are
turned on, and the logical explanation is that it’s about control; it’s a power
trip. I let this notion percolate a bit. Then I asked myself: If I were a predator and wanted to force a male
to watch me do something he’d find repulsive, what might that be? It didn’t
take me long to come up with a list. Needless to say, none of the items involve
me “pleasuring myself” sexually. That would no doubt be a turn-on for these
offenders. My pleasures lie in things sufficiently abhorrent to qualify as
payback.
First, I’d make him sit with me to look at chick flicks on the Hallmark romcom channel. If I were in in a really spiteful
mood, I’d then turn to COZI TV and subject him to four back-to-back episodes of
the original Will & Grace sitcom.
In my area, that show runs from 10 pm to midnight. This seems like an ideal
window for a predator to stalk prey, which means a double whammy of two hours
of gay humor combined with missing out on prime opportunities for his own
predation. I get a tingle just thinking about this torture.
Next, he’d have to look at me eating
a huge helping of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream with dark amber maple syrup
drizzled all over it. If this sounds like a turn on to some of you, you’ve
never seen me dive into a container of ice cream. I don’t have the patience to wait
for it to get soft. I attack it with a metal scoop. It’s not pretty. And I
don’t share.
If I were feeling particularly
perverse, I’d log onto my computer and force him to watch me enter data into
the Excel spreadsheet I’ve set up to track what I spend each month. I get
excited just thinking about spreadsheets. My columns run all the way to AF and
I have close to 1000 rows already. I’d provide a running commentary while
formatting breakouts within categories that can be tax deductible (at least
until the Republicans pass their new tax plan) and insert subtotals. If your
eyes are glazing over right now, just imagine having to sit through it.
At this point, I’d move on to a
yoga session. Seeing me wrestle my yoga pants onto my rolls and love handles may
not be as revolting as the sight of me excavate myself into a pair of Spanx, but
what would come next would be a surefire turn off. My go-to exercise would
be the Pawanmuktasana, or as I like to
call it: the Breaking Wind Pose. It
helps get rid of excess stomach gas. You lie on your back, arms and legs
extended; draw your right knee tightly to your chest and clasp your hands
around it until you break wind; straighten leg. Reverse and repeat. And repeat
and repeat… You get the idea.
Finally, I’d tie him up and
practice my saxophone for at least an hour. Ten minutes of this would be observing me wet my reed. While this might get him aroused at first, the next ten
minutes while I try to affix that reed to the mouthpiece just so would leave him
softer than the reed would be after all that sucking. The remainder of the time—when
I would actually be playing—would do him in completely.
Oh, yes. I’m prepared to subject
any sexual predator who crosses my path to repulsive pleasuring of my own. I
guarantee it will be a long time before he can give himself a happy ending
again.
