The Wild West and Sex Slavery Ch. 01

"I bet you can guess what happens in the basement to the woman who lost in the fourth round. The next day she is flown to New Orleans to be auctioned, branded and begin her trainin in how to be a great sex worker on a casino boat without losin her mind.

"For women sentenced to penal servitude and those who lose in the contests, the only bidders auction are the sex boats. Because we believe firmly in capitalism, the boats are strictly prohibited from colludin. If you are fantasizin about some sort of slave auction, this would be the moment as the boat owners inspect the merchandise pretty damn carefully as the women don't come cheap.

"After the auction, there is brandin. Since women aren't free to roam the prairie and likely to get herded to the wrong boat, the brandin is mainly for marketin and psychological purposes. Each of the boats have a unique brand that they apply to the rumps of the women they purchase. The process is filmed. Looks painful to me, but I'm told menstrual cramps an childbirth are much worse.

"There is trainin. The trainin generally takes three weeks because we want to make sure the woman not only performs but also learns how to enjoy performin. One major thing they emphasize is that whatever way you got to the boat, you ain't a prostitute on the boat, you're a sex slave. Oh, I mean, you're like a sex slave, reverend.

"Anyway, the women ain't gettin any money, it's all going to the boat. When you are on the boat, you ain't controllin safety or have any choice of customers. There's no such thing as sayin 'no.' There's no point in feelin guilty or disgusted with customers or yourself because you ain't goin nowhere except up and down a river or along the coast. You pretty much can't control nothin in your life except your own attitude. Ya gotta learn to enjoy your life best you can despite bein a full-time sex object.

"I'm not involved in the trainin, but I gather it involves gently guidin guys when possible to accept what you want to provide and often involves reverse cowboy, self-stimulation during sex, keepin your eyes closed a lot, and a bunch of other tricks and distractions if ya know what I mean.

"The trainin ain't cheap or easy. We have had to work with a lot of experts in fields that our leaders like Reverend Loman don't want even to think about, but we don't want any suicides or women so miserable on the boats that they ain't fun to screw."

The Reverend was on the verge of interrupting and Mrs. Loman looked very distressed, but Neck went on.

"And, as I mentioned, ya gotta be damn choosy as to what females we have on the boats. You didn't ask, but that's why we can't use many women convicted of crimes or women that a bank foreclosed on. The boats use only a few of those types that they think will work. Also, obviously the boats generally pay more for younger women as most guys won't pay much to screw a seventy year old woman even if she was really hot at fitythree.

"Oh, ya could stick some average shoplifter or girl who defaulted on a student loan on a boat, but they have relatives in the Free States and there are religious objections. An once a woman's been on a boat, she can't really live in the Free States no more. As the preacher here made clear, Samson had to leave his town to see a whore. The Free States want all the marriageable women in marriages where they can raise proper children under God and the preachers and obey their husbands. An what do we do with a local girl if she breaks down, gets used up, or after the mortgage contract is fulfilled or the penal term ends? There's no social security for anyone, let alone used up sex toys. No, much better to have some German or Norwegian who we've decided would make a good whore who couldn't shoot paintballs as well as she thought she could."

Mrs. Loman gasped. Frau Sprengler looked at Angela questioningly.

"There are currently twelve boats with six on the Ohio and Mississippi, one on the Missouri and the rest in the Gulf except during hurricane season when those boats are also on the Mississippi. All the boats dock during storms and they are built not to rock too much to prevent spilling chips off the poker tables.

"That's pretty much all that there is to know," Neck concluded.

"As you know, "Neck said, "Angie has already passed the physical and mental tests or we wouldn't be here talkin. The fact that she used to dance in the place across the street seals the deal for me. That place has the hottest women, but the crowd is not respectful and asks for a lot of extras, if you know what I mean, and the Russkies runnin that joint ain't as protective of their talent as most of the other keepers of establishments in St. Pauli."

It was Angela's turn to blush before saying that college is free in Germany, but food and clothing are not provided as a matter of course to students. She added, "Mr. Wallace, I have a general idea now of the duel and the boats but, as one who may participate in the contest and risk two decades on a boat, I could use much more detail."

"I respect that," Neck said, "but I don't think the Lomans need to hear too much. It might lead them to question their religion. Reverend, you think you could make it back to the hotel without me and Killer?"

"We have already heard too much about your disgusting business but I do not wish to be exposed with my wife in getting home to many of the sights that are in this awful neighborhood," Loman answered.

"You should help them find a cab and go to the hotel with them Herbert. I will see you tomorrow," Lena said to her husband. A short flash of anger crossed his face before he did what he was told. Herbert, Linda and William Loman departed.

"Ok, getting back to your question Angie, first," Neck said, "Everythin I'm about to tell you is strictly off the record. You hear that Frau Fesch? Anyone breakin that rule is dead as far as I'm concerned. And what I told you about Killer not killin anyone was not quite true. He's not killed anyone lately. That goes for me, too. And Lena, you keep waving your titties at Killer an me, you might not get the reaction you're expectin. Nah, I take that back. From what I've heard about you, gettin your tits flogged while you get fucked doggy style might be just what you want."

Frau Sprengler and Angela smiled. Lena leaned back in her seat.

"Could you first tell me how long I'd actually be on the boat?" Angela asked.

"The Boats have only been in full operation for 8 years an' no woman who worked below deck has ever been released. You will be signin a contract that calls for you to yield your body for twenty years if you lose. Who knows what the world will be like in another 20 years, but I sure wouldn't expect to get out before 2065 unless your body is somehow no longer profitable for a boat to keep. We don't enlist women for the contest over forty.

"All the boats work pretty hard to keep the girl's bodies in good shape. Too damn expensive to replace women. You can expect a strict diet, a rigorous exercise program and medical care, all as near perfect as it can be to preserve your health and beauty. Whether you like the food an exercise is not of concern to the boat owners.

"There's a woman on one boat who was convicted of smuggling years ago who is now 68 and much in demand. Pretty sexy lady if you ask me, and as the boat allowed her to become infertile, we can use her for sex work 24/7 12 months a year every year. On the other hand, with all the new drugs available in 2045, they could still breed her if they wanted to. Anyway, the sixty-eight year old is a rare exception as women aren't being sent to boats now unless their contracts or prison terms will end when they are under sixty. Still plenty of time for you Cybil.

"To protect the assets, the boats are careful to screen customers and make sure they don't bring any weapons with them into the sex area except their pricks and their sometimes-toxic personalities. The women have to deal with those.

"Oh, an by the way, this is one of the things I didn't want the preacher to hear, if the life of the mother is in jeopardy, we pay doctors enough to do the abortion and say the child was stillborn. The law makes any abortion murder, but the authorities all look the other way when it's done by the boats when necessary to save the life of the asset. The Boat owners make very sizable payments to sheriffs and the preachers that run the government to keep them from gittin too damn scrupulous.

"If you run the numbers, though, you will see that only about 150 women came to the boats through the paintball gun and fencin contests. Most of the women are there for crimes or so-called crimes. An most of the boats are seriously underwomanned for maximizin profit. So, I got a lot of business ahead of me."

"Why are the servitude contracts so long?" Lena asked. "Would not the banks with their mortgages and you for your contests get more women to sign up for a shorter period?"

"I don't handle the foreclosure women or know much about the bank business, but, like I said, when a woman has been on the boats, she don't much fit into to Free State society anymore anyway. She's pretty much only good for sex and breedin. An the banks don't make big loans to women over thirty.

"As to all the women, the trainin costs money and there's a shortage of women for the boats. An let's face it, while the official line is that the women ain't slaves but indentured servants or subject to penal servitude, the preachers and the customers get a thrill out of knowin that they are sex slaves.

"As to the contracts for women in the contests, we've experimented on term lengths and it's much more cost-effective to get the longer contracts. A few more women would sign up for really short contracts but then the management and travel costs per woman go up. The cost of trainin would go up and to tell the truth, most all the women who sign up for the contracts don't expect to lose. The difference between five years if you lose and 20 years if you lose don't make no difference to someone who don't expect to lose.

"And again, once they are on the boat, there is somethin about the woman and the customers knowin that the woman is stuck on the boat most of her life what affects the thinkin of everyone. She's a fucking slave The woman knows there's nothin better to hold out for and the customer knows the woman is practically a slave and sort of less than human."

"A delightful result," Lena said in a tone that made clear she meant the opposite.

"You didn't ask, but I can tell you the penal sentences used to be shorter, but they are all real long now. After all, the preachers would say that most of the crimes the women are on the boats for should be punished with death accordin to the good book. They call it bein tough on crime."

"Do the women on the boats get to have visitors like relatives? Lena asked.

"Why sure, the relatives can pay to see them on the boats like everyone else. You don't have to screw a women just because you're payin 2000 bucks an hour to be with her. Also, the women can have some free visiters during the month after they have a baby when they ain't doing much sex work an mainly lactatin.

"To tell the truth, though, the friends and relatives of the Free States women on the boats for penal servitude or indentured servitude generally don't want to see em and the women that play in our contests generally ain't real close to their families"

"And what acts would I be performing on the boat?" Angela asked

"Everything that ain't likely to damage you much. The preacher wouldn't want to hear this, but preachers and politicians don't go below deck or, if they do, they don't talk about it. But all the sodomy they made illegal in the so-called Free States under God goes on. When a woman might be fertile, the boats charge extra and damn near every one of the guys willing to pay the extra charge, want to drop their seed in a fertile womb. The rest of the time, vanilla fuckin, butt fuckin, blowjobs, tit fuckin, and everythin else is on the menu. S & M is also allowed if the customer pays extra and don't leave no marks. Bondage and use of all the newest devices for forced orgasms are allowed. And some guys want a woman to whip them. So, there's lot of variety. If you can't imagine livin with that kind of variety, you better say so now or maybe Cybill should volunteer to go in your place."

Lena rolled her eyes and tried to look disgusted, while Angela asked, "Do the women spend every moment in sexual activities."

"You get breaks and showers, of course, The boats let the women roam the ship sometimes when there are no gamblers on board or if they want them to show off the goods. Every boat has its own culture, so to speak, with some caterin to people who mainly want to blow their wad on the slots but might want get blown by the sluts afterwards, and other boats bein very classy with elegant poker tables and the women occasionally appearin from a discreet window or stage lookin like tasteful but sexy as all hell Gibson Girls who could have been workin for the Everleigh Sisters."

"Is there any sustained time for doing anything but fucking, eating, exercise, sleeping and having babies? Can one read a book or write?" Lena rebounded.

"Oh yeah, there's a speck a time for some of that. We don't want the women to go crazy. and some guys want to dance or talk. Course, every woman gets a Bible to read but I don't think you could get anythin else to read unless a customer brought it and it would have to be pretty tame, like Gone with the Wind, a history of the northern aggression by Shelby Foote or somethin similar.

"As far as writin, women may write letters to family and a few approved friends, mainly preachers. The boats would look terrible if women weren't even allowed to write their mothers. Most of the boats give the women scrap paper and pencils if they want to write a letter. But it's all got to go through the censors in Little Rock, Frau Reporterin. An remember in the Free States under God, Harper Lee, Mark Twain, your Goethe, and Shakespeare can't be published. Too dirty and opposed to religion.

"Tryin to get somethin out, even a personal letter to your mother, that hain't been presented to the censors is a very serious offense. It's pretty crazy though. Because of my role in the industry, I'm an approved recipient of letters and I've gotten letters from women on the boats that got passed the censors tellin me how great I am in bed and how eager they are to see me again. I've gotten other letters that had big deletions that I later learned were censored because they mentioned how bad the weather had been with tornados or floodin. Women don't know what they can write and not write so a lot of mothers get letters with a lot of stuff blacked out.

"Angie might get somethin published that said how she saw that God had a purpose for her and how much fun she was a havin on a boat. I'd want to use that to help find women to participate, but no discouragin words are allowed. As I said, it would have to go through the censors in Little Rock.

"On free time, to be on the safe side, most boats don't allow vaginal sex during the last 6 weeks of a pregnancy and the doctors recommend against it for a month after the birth. Most of the boats give women a full month without havin to perform at all after childbirth. That's time you could write something if you wanted to try. But like I said, it would have to be pretty damn innocent and not say anythin against the boats or the Free American States under God.

"As to how much free time there is, it depends partly on the boat. There are few lower-priced all-you-can-fuck boats, like Big Nosed Kate, the workin man's budget boat. It features women who are not considered the most beautiful. Particularly given all the male enhancement drugs that have been developed in the last 30 years, many guys can fuck quite a lot and the women have weeks when they don't get much rest, let alone time to write or think. But like I said, the boats don't want any woman to die or go crazy any more than they want the slot machines to break down.

"Anyway, I don't know much about what happens on the budget boats and I am absolutely sure Angie that you would be bought by one of the fancier boats that feature beautiful, classy, and well-rested women. In addition to the free time periods required by pregnancies, women on those high-end boats get time off for beauty sleep, readin the Bible, and even practicin musical instruments if they are any good.

Taking a deep breath, Angela asked,"How many children would I be forced to have?"

"The high-end boats make less money sellin babies than sellin sex. So, they prefer to limit the number of months women are tied up pregnant. But what happens with fertile women being fucked an average of about five times a day and no birth control? We have new milk pumps they didn't have twenty years ago that delay havin babies more than the old ones did and a few other tricks that you shouldn't tell the preachers about, but you should expect to have a baby every two years or so. The preachers get suspicious if a woman ain't pregnant every two years. If my math haint failed me, that would be 8-10 kiddies if you're on the boat for 20 years.

Frau Dir. Sprengler, Lena, and Angela paused and looked thoughtful for a long time before Lena said, "Dare I ask what happens to women who revolt against their confinement or treatment?"

"You kin ask, but y'all won't like the answer. As you know, because of all the bad weather, the civil wars, riots, pandemics an' other shit, mankind ain't made much progress in the last 20 years except in the fields of radio trackin of people, messin with natural hormones, treatin ED, military equipment, sex toys, torture devices an fast tests for all the forms of venereal disease. This last invention has been critical for runnin the sex boats as it means they don't have to require condoms which have be disposed of properly to not make a mess of the river an which the preachers wouldn't allow anyway.

"The torture devices have been real helpful too. There is equipment on the boats that is too painful to endure, and it don't matter how brave ya are. Those things don't do no permanent damage except that even after a few seconds of em, ya never dream of gettin uppity again. And it's damn hard even to commit suicide, no girl's succeeded yet, and if ya do try, you fuckin well better succeed because attemptin suicide is considered the ultimate in uppity behavior."

There was another long pause before Frau Dir. Sprengler said, "We thank you for your candor, Mr. Wallace,"

Sprengler said to Angela, "are you sure you want to play this Spiel? Just because Lena puts her body on the line in order to get politically and socially important facts and stupidly squalid stories does not mean that you have to do so. Lena worked as a prostitute for a couple weeks a couple years ago, but you could be on a boat until you were 44. You may be certain that you are the quickest draw to ever visit Holstein. It seems a number of women who thought that are now being whipped and being impregnated in cruise ships on North American waters."

"As I have said," Angela said, "I do not have to be the best. I only have to not be the worst. Some of the women participating probably do not care if they win or lose. I have been practicing for months, and Neck has said he will lend me a number of the paintball guns that they use so that I can practice much more before June."

"Why don't y'all, watch the contest next Saturday, and Angela can decide about the June contest?" Neck offered. "If ya think it is somethin ya can do, Angie, you can sign a contract to play in June and we'll give you enough paint guns an' paint balls that if ya lose, it sure won't be for lack of chance to practice.

Neck paid the bill and said he was going to do some proper sight-seeing in St. Pauli and St. Joseph and maybe experience again some of the local talent. Frau Dir. Marlene Sprengler and Angela Assad took the S-Bahn to their homes. Lena said she was going to visit a friend. Killer followed Lena secretly.
