:20:01
I was always considered bossy.
:20:04
I liked to boss everybody around.
:20:07
I would tell everybody else what to do.
I was very strong-willed.

:20:11
I wouldn't even let my parents
tell me what to do.

:20:13
I wanted to tell them what to do.
:20:15
I played the normal sex games.
I didn't play "slave and master."

:20:18
I remember very early
on playing games where--

:20:22
actually it was with a little girl
down the block,

:20:25
she would lay down on her bed
and take off all of her clothes

:20:30
and just lie there with her eyes closed.
:20:32
I would touch her and do things to her.
:20:35
Never reversed. I was always
the one who did that to her.

:20:39
I didn't think about that
for many years until I realized--

:20:42
that's sort of S & M.
I guess you might call it that.

:20:45
Did your sex play always stay private
:20:49
or were you ever discovered?
:20:51
I think I was discovered by my mother.
:20:54
Several times
I undressed little boys in the back yard

:20:57
and stuff like that.
I got yelled at.

:21:00
I certainly didn't have
a sex positive upbringing.

:21:03
- No?
- No, not at all.

:21:05
Very sex negative.
Very strange actually.

:21:09
My family life was very dysfunctional.
:21:12
I have more mental cruelty with him.
:21:15
- Don't side with him.
- Why?

:21:18
I'm disappointed in my marriage.
I stuck it out.

:21:22
I made a home for him.
He doesn't deserve a lot of things.

:21:25
He is a selfish man.
His sister told me when I married him.

:21:28
She said,
"He's a very peculiar, eccentric man."

:21:32
And you're not peculiar and eccentric?
:21:35
No, I'm not.
I'm a loudmouth, not eccentric.

:21:37
Where is the dish?
:21:48
- How do you feel?
- Don't you come near me.

:21:52
- What you did is unforgivable.
- Strong like an ox.

:21:57
She's stubborn,
that's what keeps her going.

:21:59
How would you like it
if I'd broken your legs?
