I’ve been playing the mind fuck game for a lot of years. One of the most terrible and effective ways to do it is to make it appear thoughtless. Here let me push this button good and hard to make sure you know I am fucking with it. Then when you are losing your mind and getting desperate, I will reverse course and push the same button from the opposite direction. Example:
If you are very proud of your intelligence, I will make you tell me in detail why being here, naked and at the mercy of a sexual sadist is stupid. You know it is. You already hurt. You are afraid. Now I push this button with intent. As soon as you are sobbing from that mess, I will turn it around by making you explain why you are smart enough for me to even bother with, justifying your own worth to be raped.
And the cherry on top? I know you are also proud of your body and work very hard to be lean and strong. So I poke your tummy or grab your inner thigh or tricep (every one has something) and say, “You are so smart. Why don’t you take better care of yourself?” Delivered as an afterthought, casually, it stings so much more, because I’ve just invalidated any possibility of being smart and all of her work on fitness in one sentence.
This entire scenario is crude because it’s an example. Almost all women have body insecurity. I tend not to go after body insecurities because they are low hanging fruit. It sounds like an ass hole boyfriend. Unlike an ass hole boyfriend, I’m doing it with consent.
