It All Started When . . .
Tom, was away from home and sitting alone in his motel
room. (As we shall see, being alone,
free from normal constraints is a time when people can readily get into
trouble, says Marriage Counseling Estero FL). Flipping through the city's entertainment guide,
Tom repeatedly found himself turning back to the advertisement of an exotic
dancer.“A former Miss Peach Bowl winner,” the caption read.
At first, he dismissed her show as out of bounds. But the
longer he sat around watching TV, the more the image of this strip-tease dancer
played upon his mind. “Why not?” he
asked himself. A variety of rationalizations bolstered his resolve to go.
Before long, Tom found himself in the back seat of a cab headed for the seamy
side of town.
The taxi driver dropped him off several blocks from the
bar. Given his strong reputation of honesty back home and as a family man, Tom
wanted to play it safe. Even though he was a stranger in town, he glanced
nervously over his shoulder as he walked closer to his destination, and then
entered quickly. (The anxiousness and
guilt Tom was feeling should have been a clear warning signal to stop what he
was intending to do. But, notes Marriage Counseling Fort Myers FL), the temptation
proved to be too great.
Miss Peach Bowl was everything the ad claimed she would
be. Tom was captivated as she went through her routine. When he exited the
establishment a couple of hours later, everything was same and yet everything
had changed. He had crossed a line previously out of bounds. He was still the
same person but his perception was now somehow different. And it wasn't long
after that he wanted more. He started to regularly frequent strip joints,
sexually oriented magazines, was thepatronize adult movie theaters, and view
live peep shows. (The downward cycle has
now begun observes Marriage Counseling Cape Coral FL ).
