Straight Jacket

Product Information

Todd outlines this understanding in three parts: part one explores the roots of LGBT shame, part two the unhealthy ways that LGBT people seek to escape the pain of this shame, and part three the road to recovery. That was the crux of the matter, pure and simple; someone who would help her into the straitjacket, pull all the straps tight, buckle them securely, then leave her trapped and tied that way for a few hours.

After a couple of minutes of idle chat, Sally took a deep breath and asked the all important question. In Jesus, there is the offer of a new identity, a new family, true freedom, strength to face life’s difficulties, and fullness of life. There followed what to Sally seemed like several minute’s silence, although in truth it probably amounted to no more than about five seconds. Here was a situation, she soon came to comprehend, that possibly only came around once in a lifetime; a celebration of her bondage-nature that needed to be cherished and nurtured, as good fortune such as this may never again come her way.And this longing to be held in unbreakable restraints had been a constant obsession with the attractive twenty one year old ever since she could remember. For the seeds of a solution had been planted in her mind the other day, and since that time she’d been mentally focussing on the pros and cons of this daring scheme, in the hope that she could fine tune the details, and with any luck bring her plan to fruition. Jenny’s footsteps echoed on the hard floor, and her voice kept rising and decreasing in volume as she strode up and down. And it was also only a short distance away from the venue which Amy had chosen as the location for her incarceration; for didn’t captivity deserve a fittingly isolated and dramatic setting for it to truly create the desired atmosphere and ambience?

But we should actually approach it as an opportunity to learn about real-life experiences, to allow God to shape our hearts to reflect his, and to motivate us into being part of the answer to a serious problem. After being left to her own devices, Amy had really started investigating just how restrictive and restraining her jacket could be. As long as it remained almost impossible to get out, but didn’t cross that invisible line into totally impossible, then everything was just fine with her.Anyway, if the Royal Mail live up to their promise of delivering second class post in two days, my letter should reach the police station on Wednesday morning. Silence reigned during this period, with Jenny simply holding the bottle and scrutinising the slim, bound woman before her; that devious smile never dissipating for a second.
