Located in central London, England, the offices of the
Oakham Group provide an outlet for submissive women, both single and married.
With membership through word of mouth and recommendation only, the group are
able to safeguard their own, and the members privacy. With names and locations
altered, and for the first time, the group have approved one of its ladies to
tell her story…
Catherine Adams is fairly typical of the women who apply to
join the group. Happily married to Richard for eight years the couple enjoy a
comfortable lifestyle without putting themselves in the ‘wealthy’ bracket. Together
with her friend Helen, Catherine owns and runs a small art gallery in the city
centre. At 42 years of age and with a close knit circle of friends and caring
family Catherine would be the envy of many who were unaware of her secret – her
desire to be sexually submissive.
Supressing her urges for many years seemed to be the
sensible option. With husband Richard aware of her interest in such matters,
the couple had dabbled with some light bedroom bondage, and whilst good fun it
didn’t go far enough to satisfy her desire to take things much further.
On a studio visit, Catherine becomes aware of the artists
submissive nature and her involvement with the Oakham group. The excitement of
finding somebody actually doing what she had only dreamed about provided an
opportunity not to be missed.
Facing the possible repercussions of admitting the true
depth of her feelings to Richard proved to be a risk worth taking. With his
active support the couple set out to fulfil her dreams, searching for that
elusive goal.
Accepted by the group, Catherine is sent to Colonel Mason
for training. Being the middle aged, middle class product of a conservative
upbringing conflicts begin to emerge. Facing the demeaning use of her body for
sexual acts and punishment proves to be more demanding than expected, causing
Catherine to question her previously held moral values and beliefs. Not wishing
to keep her activities concealed from her close friends, Catherine begins to
wonder whether they too have needs similar to her own.
