[quote="SBtype"]That is really disgraceful, ML, to put it mildly! You ought to have reported it to the police
(I mean the behaviour of your "friends" of course, but still, letting them get away with it isn't good.. may mean that they are encouraged to do it again! You ought to get a decent therapist who can advise in what way you ought to deal with it)

Thank you for your concern; that is very kind of you. I
have dealt with it; it is many, many years in the past ('83 or '84???) and hasn't bothered me for a very long time; otherwise I would never have posted here about it. As far as turning them in, I did consider it. When they got me to the club, I wasn't being watched so closely (they thought I'd be fascinated and wouldn't want to leave once I saw all of those women running around topless), and I slipped out on them. I have never been much of a fan of the "look-see-but-don't-touch" mindset, hence my relative disinterest in strip clubs. If there had been a club doing bondage demos on women back then, they probably wouldn't have had to abduct me.

I jogged a few blocks until I was sure I wasn't being pursued, and then just started walking. Eventually I caught a ride and made it home. It was about 15 miles from where I lived at the time. They didn't know what happened to me and assumed the worst, that the cops would be coming for them any time. I let them hang for several days before I let them off the hook. None have done anything like that since, and they all did eventually apologize and agree that it was a very bad idea. As most people who have been in trouble will tell you, anticipation of punishment can be worse than the punishment itself; that was the theory upon which I let them hang and then let them slide. They spent a bad few days looking over their shoulders. The ultimate punishment for them was the loss of my friendship and trust. That will last a lifetime, which I consider far worse than the bad half-hour I spent tied up in that trunk, and the few miles I walked before a kind soul picked me up.

As with any unpleasant situation, the best possible outcome is to learn from it. In this case, I spent much time afterward learning to untie knots, gaining skill which might have seen me able to free myself at the time and possibly to hop out of the trunk at a stoplight and get away. Also, if you are anticipating being part of a faux-kidnap situation where a sub is going to be tied up and tossed into the trunk of a car, get some of those throw-away CO detectors and put one in the trunk of the car to be used a few days before you play out the scene. If it changes color,
PLEASE either get the exhaust fixed or consider using the back seat instead
