Lena's Strange Fantasy

Lena Edmunson has a problem that she hopes her psychiatrist can solve. The 28-year-old “plain jane” describes an attack that occurred months ago and Dr. Roberts immediately nods and says, “I can help you work through that.” But Lena has a different take on the assault: “It was the best sex I ever had.” Whoa! “Am I sick to want to meet him again?” she asks her doctor. Dr. Roberts assures her that forced sex is a common fantasy among women and together, they can work through it, but it is a very dangerous game she is playing. Lena listens, but she doesn’t really want to be talked out of finding the man again. She loved the danger, the fear, the helplessness. She hasn’t had much attention from men and for this one moment, she felt desirable. Can anyone blame her for wanting to experience it again? One night, she finds “Leon” – the name she has given her attacker – and she blackmails him into having sex with her again and under her conditions. When she tells Dr. Roberts, she’s shocked and warns her of the risks she’s taking. “Yes, but I feel so alive!” Lena says. Can Lena come to grips with her fantasy before it destroys her?
