Foreword
"Me thinks the layd doth protest too much," said Hamlet. This statement, or something like it, can be applied to anyone who complains too much about how exploited he is sexually.
Still, in certain situations, men and women are forced to engage in sexual acts in order to satisfy the lusts of someone else who has power over them.
Prime example of this is the person who feels he or she must give sexual favors in order to maintain his or her job. Even though the individual making the advances may not be particularly desirable, unless the employee complies there can be trouble.
Scott Forsmo, young handsome, virile, is the night disc jockey at an all night radio station. Not only does he have to contend with the advances of his employer's wife, he has to fend off the suggestive telephone calls he receives from lonely and horny female listeners. He never refuses a call, and is notably unsuccessful in repelling the advances. Scott goes through life blissfully accepting most of what comes his way, especially when a sexual encounter is involved.
His friend and confidant, Rona Barnes, is the receptionist at the station. A girl from a rural community, she is the captive of the station manager, who treats her as his personal property and makes sexual demands upon her which go far beyond her job description. Rona complies, afraid of losing her job.
What happens to her and her friend, Scott, as a result of their situation is the basis of this novel, a book which explores the innermost workings of minds caught in the trap of having to please an outside force at the expense of personal pleasure and individual fulfillment.
Even though the story concerns those in the radio business, its message concerns everyone.
