Introduction
Adultery is condemned in practically all of the Western cultures. History does not record in any culture, the punitive restrictions for man's philandering. However, a woman's involvement in an adulterous affair results in severe repercussions to the woman.
Society seems to be interested in castigating the woman for incurring the illness rather than finding out how she became infected with it.
Such was the case of Barbara Farrar.
She was a young vibrant woman married to an almost puritanical type husband. He was not above becoming involved in extra marital affairs. Yet he restrained his wife in her search for a sexually fulfilled married life.
Barbara, in turn, wanted to achieve sexual happiness. Society's mores and her inhibitions kept her from realizing this goal.
As a result of an incident, Barbara found the answer to her problem. She allowed her desire to offer a rationale that would appease her conscience. And, if discovered in the adulterous act, would become a satisfactory response to a critical society's question!
Using the pretext of forcible rape, Barbara permitted herself the wishful luxury of satisfactory sexual relations.
While her conscience would not allow her to break any moral code; her sense of ethics was not restricted by the happenings in her world of fantasy.
Certainly, Barbara was able to stop what happened to her if she wanted. Yet, her sexual needs were stronger. Instead of denying herself the gratification she wanted, Barbara used the contrived incidents of rape to condone her actions.
However, while assuaging her conscience, she was still interested in resolving her own marital problems.
This story is about the method contrived to bring about a satisfactory marital relationship and the ultimate sexual fulfillment of Barbara's desires.
