Interrogation



When torture is employed in interrogation, the first thing the interrogator typically does is to speculate on the type of information he would like to extract from the subject. This assists the interrogator in creating a benchmark that the subject must meet in order to end the painful or uncomfortable conditions that occur in torture. The process of using torture to extract this targeted information may have three possible outcomes. The first is that the subject knows nothing and provides made-up information or a false confession in order to cause the torture to stop; the second is that the subject has the information that the interrogator seeks but is able to "hold out" or divert the interrogators attention with false information (which can be misconstrued for the previous outcome mentioned); and the third is that the subject capitulates under torture and offers the interrogator truthful information. I have found that there are several techniques that can be imployed to keep the deception of the subject to a minimum.

I am making a concious choice to not discuss actual interrogation techniques. Once employed , the effectiveness is diminished quickly. I will give a scenerio. The Dominant has the submissive think of three words. The submissive is ordered to write a different word on each 3X5 card and seal it in an envelope. The dominant then proceedes to extract the words from the submissive in the most painful and horrific ways possible.

I want to share an interrogation scene with a friend of mine, Brenton Kornegay. I will go ahead and say it; Brenton is a pain pig. He was running for a title at the Dallas Eagle in Dallas Texas. Brenton asked Hardy Haberman and me to help out with a fantasy interrogation in the bar during the contest. Hardy is a stage magician and came up with some props and illusions that scared the fuck out of me and I was on stage. Brenton’s fateful words to me were “ Vince make it look real.”

At the cue, Hardy and I flew across the stage and tackled Brenton. Hardy began to tie Brenton up and bring out the red-hot branding iron. Brenton began to struggle so I pinned him to the stage and began to bounce his head off the stage. After the fantasy portion of the night, leathermen said that they thought we were great actors. Brenton and I spoke in unison and said, “Who was acting?”

Interrogation is a very advanced form of play in BDSM. It has to fit into the “Safe, Sane, Consensual” concept. All participants must be physically and emotionally prepared for the scene. In my opinion, it should not be practiced between any persons in a relationship. If boy Jake were to want to play, I would have to find Tops to make it happen. Remember, “Pain is mandatory, but suffering is optional.”

Mind Fucks

I have to say that mind fucks are what make the scene exciting. Without them, play would eventually become paddle, flog, and cane sub and wait for tears. It would become boring.
I was a volunteer at South Plains Leather Fest last year in Dallas Texas. I had the privilege of working security for the discussion and demonstration by Hardy Haberman of just this topic. Hardy is a friend and mentor. He also has a sick and twisted mind that he was willing to allow us to walk around in as he shared some of his “mind fucks”. I will not go into his particular discussion because some of you readers might play with him at some point and I do not want to ruin his work.
Mind fucks are situations and conditions that a Dominant puts the submissive in that are so scary, humiliating or potentially dangerous that the submissive is in shock that the Dominant is doing it. A very small example of a mind fuck is one that I caused with my boy Jake. He and I had been going at it hard for about three hours when I decided we were going to get some food. While we were in the car driving back to my hotel room, I took off my belt. Jake's eyes were bulging and his lips quivering. We stepped out of the car and walked toward my room. The entire time I had the belt in my hand as if I would swing it at any moment. After that get together, Jake told me that that episode had blown his mind. He wasn’t sure if I was going to stop the car and bend him over the car. He wasn’t sure if I was going to bend him over outside the hotel or in the lobby. In his words, he was blown away.
This is just a small action carried out by me that made an impression on the submissive. Some mind fucks can be much more involved and scary for the boy. The key to all of them is that the boy maintains that trust that he has given to the dominant. With this being said, there may be times that the mind fuck is so stressful that the submissive baulks. This can be humiliating to the submissive and frustrating to the Dominant. The submissive must as soon as possible apologize for his error and express his devotion and surrender to whatever the Dominant desires. The Dominant needs to be careful to stay just this side of that “fear factor”. The boy breaking is not the goal of the experience. It is scaring the shit out of him.
