Divide and conquer! ✊

When it comes to female last resort self defense there is no one universal technique. On this blog I already described two techniques which can be applied to an attacker’s bare testicles. You can read about those here and here. In the coming posts I will describe some more. However, before doing that I thought I should cover one very important but often overlooked aspect related to these techniques. 

Tight and large scrota are more difficult to

grasp using a lock mechanism.

The crucial starting point of all hand-performed strikes on testicles is to establish a firm and well secured grip on the target before going further with the technique. This is not always easy.  It all depends on the size and strength of the female hand and the size and type of the attacker’s scrotum. During our self defense course Linda emphasized the importance of making a correct decision in using the right move which should be also thoroughly practiced so it can be applied quickly and effectively when needed. She used a high-quality silicone  analogue of testicles I mentioned before: she held it in front of us and we had a second to grab it and then she pulled it back. If our grasp was insufficiently secure and strong, the testicles slipped out of our hands. Sometimes she also used two walnuts in a sock and when we succeeded, we could keep the prize. That was a good motivation😉. Of course, we also tested our grip-applying skills on our boys. But I won’t write about it today not to upset some of the sensitive readers. 

Description of 'divide and conquer'

by Susan Smith 

So what are the ways to get a good grip? One is by using a lock mechanism by ringing the forefinger and thumb around the root of the whole scrotum or by locking and isolating just one testicle. The latter can be recommended if the woman’s hand is small, and the testicles hang low. Otherwise, a woman can used the so called divide and conquer technique.

The name ‘divide and conquer’ (or ‘divide et impera’ in Latin) is an old principle of ruling known from Antiquity. The idea is to divide an enemy or a state to smaller entities which when separated, and often put against each other, are much more easily defeated or ruled. For instance, Julius Caesar used this principle when successfully invaded Gaul (sorry Asterix and Obelix). Nowadays, the concept is also used in computer science for solving complex problems. And of course, it can be applied to female self defense as well. 

How does it work? For this this type of grip, take a hold of the  whole scrotum and divide it by forcefully digging fingers between the testicles. One testicle then becomes secured by four fingers and the other one by the thumb. You can now conquer each testicle separately! The best depiction of this maneuver is in the  book Fear or Freedom from Susan Smith which contains a very good illustration. Once applied, the testicles can be then squeezed and jerked or hit sharply with the other hand. Depending on the situation the hand attack can come either from the rear or from the front. 

Stress balls are excellent for training

 grips and improving strength.

One of the best ways to train this technique is by using a stress ball which is by the way also good for improving strength of your hand. I always keep one in my office desk. I noticed, when practicing (sometimes during busy hours) all my male colleagues rather leave me alone. An excellent way to relieve stress, to reduce your workload and to gain some respect! I can only highly recommend to all women😂!

Mail from Sophie - inspirational story #5

I hope you all had a nice summer. When we came back from our holiday trip and I opened my mailbox, I was quite surprised from the number of emails I got. One email was from a young woman named Sophie. She wrote me a very inspiring story, so I asked her for permission to publish it on my blog. Here it is:

Dear Wendy,

My name is Sophie and I’d like to thank you for promoting female self defense. Let me share a story with you demonstrating the positive impact your blog has on empowerment and safety of young women, so needed in these dangerous times. I have a 22-year-old boyfriend; his name is Sam. We both study architecture in our third year at the university. We met at a matriculation party and have been together since. I can’t even express how much I love him. He is so caring, gentle, and good looking too 😊.

Two months ago, something bad happened. I was working on an important assignment with my classmates till late night at the university premises. Once we finished, I walked towards my dormitory, which is located a couple of blocks away. When I was passing through a dark passage, I heard footsteps behind me coming closer. I turned back and saw a strong, mean looking guy. He had his pants opened and his disgusting penis was hanging out. I got scared like hell. I speeded up, as did he. Luckily, at some moment I managed to get out quickly from the passage on a busy street. When I looked back again the man disappeared.

Although I got over the initial shock, the bad thoughts what could have happened lingered for long.  I somehow became depressed, restless, and unfocused. And Sam noticed it. He worried and enquired what’s going on. I think he thought there might be another guy because I refused sex with him twice. I insisted everything is fine and I just got a little bit tired and stressed from some classes. Luckily, a couple of days later I got more relaxed and during a dinner together I finally revealed him the real reason.

Having a willing  intimate partner is great for practicing the 

last resort self defense. For instance as a part of foreplays.  

He hugged me and comforted me that he’ll do everything that I’ll get over this horrible experience and it won’t happen to me ever again. We both agreed on three preventive actions. From now on, during evenings and nights, I’ll always take a cab even if it means to use our small savings.  I’ll buy a pepper spray and I’ll enroll in a self defense course. Unfortunately, all university-offered self defense courses start soonest in autumn so Sam suggested that until then I should at least find some websites and videos online to get some idea.

So it happened that I found your blog😊. I have to admit it was an eye-opener. Self defense has never been a topic of any chats with my friends or classmates. Before I thought that it all means that cliché: punch him in the nose, kick him where it counts and run. But after reading your blog I realized how important the last resort self defense is. Of course, I have seen some movies featuring groin kicks or knees, but I have never thought how this male vulnerability can be used to get out from even the most extreme situations. I am not very proud of it, but let me tell you what happened one night I spent with Sam. We were just fooling around in a bed, and I don’t know why I gently took a hold of his very prominent bulge.

I surprised him with a question. “Are they really so sensitive?”

“What do you mean Sophie?” He replied totally confused.

“I read online that testicles should be one of the prime targets when a woman is fighting a rapist.”

“Hmm, well, yes it hurts there but movies exaggerate it a little bit. Do not focus on balls only.”

“May I try something?” I asked him.

He unsuspectedly agreed. “Sure, go ahead.”

I slipped my hand inside his boxers and got a firm grip on his left testicle.

And I squeezed! I mean, really squeezed. He yelped in pain and tried to get from the tight hold, but of no avail. As instructed on your blog I snugly enclosed my forefinger and thumb around his nut, so it was securely trapped.

I looked into his surprised eyes and smiled. “Hmm, I would disagree with you on this! Now I see it is not a myth, they are indeed highly sensitive. And I even did not perform the technique in full!” I schooled him using his own anatomy.  

He could not believe what was happening. His lenient little darling was laughing at him while tightly holding his ball and squeezing it. He was totally at my merci.

When I finally released the grip, he gasped for air, curled up and cupped his crotch with his hands.

“God damn! What was that, Sophie! Are you nuts!” He yelled at me.

“Me, nuts? No, you’ve got two little nuts, Sam!” I laughed again.

At that point I started to feel guilty, so I kissed his aching testicle to ease the pain and to show him that I am sorry. And I really was, I have never been so vicious in my entire life. Looking back now I do not feel particularly proud what I did.

I also explained him. “As you told me I went online, and I read a very interesting blog describing some effective anti-rape techniques. I was so curious to see if they are legit. But don’t worry, I won’t test them on you anymore my little bunny (sometimes I call him like that 😊).  I don’t want you to lose your precious reproductive and pleasure-making ‘functionality’. We will need it.” I kissed him, this time on his lips. I felt he is forgiving me this little ‘incident’.

He was of course interested where I got so ‘educated’.  I took my tablet and showed him your blog. You should see his face when he was reading description of some of the techniques! He commented. “Not sure, I meant reading such blogs, but OK it all seems quite effective.” At some point his anger dissipated (I guess the pain as well) and that night we had a wonderful sex.

Believe or not, now I often ask him to try out some of the techniques as a part of our foreplays. Of course, I promised him not to go full force so he willingly plays a ‘cold-blooded attacker’ and helps me to simulate different sex attack scenarios so I can practice planning and execution of the most appropriate anti-rape techniques. I always verbally describe him what exactly I would do in a real situation. For instance, I told him his balls are quite big (of course, he feels proud about it) and my hands are small, so if he was a rapist, I would have to focus on only one testicle. How else would I find out these important details than by trying it out by myself?

So, I really hope the self defense class I already signed up for will be like the one Linda organizes. I am so eager and excited to learn more. I have to admit, since that ‘incident’ my self-confidence really improved.  It taught me a petit girl has a real ability to take down even the strongest guy, when she knows how. So I really do not understand the number of negative comments you get from some unsupportive men. The positive impact on our safety outweighs some temporary testicular pain and maybe some occasional embarrassment. I believe it is just a little sacrifice the real men would make for us women.  

Thank you again Wendy for your mission and keep up with the great work,

Best Wishes

Sophie

Like in any other physical activity,

Practice makes perfect!

Dear Sophie, thank you so much for your support and permission to publish your story. You indeed have a very caring boyfriend. I also wish you get a proper self defense training as I did. I am happy to hear more of your experiences during your self defense training endeavors.  

As in every activity 'Practice makes perfect!' However, always keep in mind the techniques I describe here can cause serious injury and permanent damage so please be very careful with your boyfriend when practicing. 

I would be happy to read more of such inspirational stories from the readers. If you have one you can contact me via the contact form at https://femaleselfdefense.sport.blog I will share some interesting stories from my holidays as well soon. 

Anonymous comments are allowed again but please be respectful. It applies to you too Evan. 

Some like it hot! 🌶️

This post is neither about the famous American movie, nor about the current supper hot weather, but about an unknown way to use a common women’s self defense tool. I think it will be quite informative but at the same time a little bit funny.

Last week I and my boyfriend Tom had a little accident. We decided to make together a romantic evening to celebrate our 4th anniversary. You know to have a fancy dinner with some following lovemaking…We are still not keen to go out for a dinner with the current third wave, so we stayed at home. I prepared his favored chicken tacos. The dinner was great, he loved the food, but I totally ruined what was supposed to come afterwards. After some kissing and cuddling I went downstairs on him, you know what I mean. But shockingly instead of moaning from pleasure he suddenly yelled “It burns! It f.cking burns!” and jumped like a banshee. First I had no idea what happened.

“I think it’s that thing!” he pointed towards the green pieces of jalapeños in the leftovers. Then I got it, when I was chopping the jalapeños, some juices must have left on my fingers and then I transferred it on his dick head. Instead of a romantic ending that evening we were trying all sorts of remedies we found on internet, even using the ice cream we had for desert to rub it off. Grose! We could not continue with our ‘stuff’ that night. He is OK now, just that thingy stayed a little bit reddish and swollen for some time. 

capsaicin, a devilish compound

The compound which caused the burning sensation on Tom’s glans penis and foreskin is capsaicin. I do not have to tell you it is the active component of pepper sprays. Chemically it is 8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide produced by plants of genus Capsicum. It activates TRV1 receptor of skin cells which can be also stimulated by heat, that is why it gives the typical burning sensation. The glans penis and the foreskin is covered with a highly innervated mucosal layer which readily absorbs capsaicin. It is not well miscible with water, so it is difficult to wash it out. Milk or oily substances should be used instead, but I can tell, there was not much difference after the ice cream 😊   

 When used correctly, a pepper spray
 can be a woman's best friend 

Although Linda was not an enthusiastic proponent of self defense tools—she used to say “Your body parts are always readily available, the tools are usually forgotten in your purse or bag.”—we had couple of lessons she taught us the proper use of them. With the summer season I noticed there are now many alarming reports in newspapers about plummeting cases of flashers, exhibitionists, and public onanists. Linda emphasized that when we encounter an attacker with exposed genitals, we should remember there are two great targets available for our pepper spray. After getting his eyes and mouth do not forget to spray him down there as well. If you do not believe what is the effect of a pepper spray on an exposed penis watch this prank video:

  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1970613749835377

You can expect the same dramatic effect on your attacker. While he is focused on his ‘helmet on fire’, he forgets his other sensitive organs become fully unprotected and available for follow up techniques.  A nice well placed testicle kick or a knee would for sure double remind him he should have kept his filthy genitals in his pants.

Peter peppers

As always, our self defense class would not be complete without a practical demonstration. This time Linda brought a pair of red chili peppers she grows in her garden. “These are quite rare, called Peter peppers as they come in a shape of penis,” she said as she showed them to us. We all gawked at the little ‘penises’ in amazement. Linda immediately warned us “Well, do not even think to use them for what you are maybe thinking about. The vagina is of course highly sensitive to capsaicin as well.”

 “This one really looks like the penis of our Peter,” humorously commented Ana, referring to the shape of a partially exposed penis head. We all chuckled as she was spot on, Peter’s foreskin, although he is not circumcised does not fully cover his glans penis.

Penis with partially exposed
head similar to Peter's, highly
susceptible to 'peppering'

Linda nodded, “Good observation Ana. Circumcised penises and those of Peter are of course very susceptible to ‘peppering’, even when they are in a relaxed state.”

Linda immediately proposed “Let’s put this to the test!” Boys were working out on the other side of the training room, while we had this interesting theoretical lecture. Sometimes it was better they did not hear what we were talking about.

Linda squashed one of the peppers in her hand.

“Peter come over here! We just want to test something.”

When he unsuspectedly came close to her. She just quickly slipped her hand in his shorts and took it out. The reaction of Peter does not need to be described, based what you already read in this post you can imagine.... The theory was readily confirmed…

I conclusion I highly recommend buying a pepper spray and do not forget to use it on both of his heads. When cutting chilies use gloves and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards especially when you want to make some lovemaking 😊.

The art of kneeing (part 2)

Kneeing as an art

I was quite busy lately with getting things back to normal after all that mess with the coronavirus. Luckily, I had a couple of days off so I could resume writing for my blog. With this post I continue with the second part of the series about kneeing.

…After this vivid demonstration of a proper knee strike using our kicking dummy and the two pears, Linda sat down again in front of us and continued with her explanation. “During the juggling exercise, you probably soon realized what is the most important to keep the ball going. Besides being really agile, one has to be precise in striking using the correct part of the thigh and touching gently the bottom of the ball. Also, the movement of the leg must be straight up to the right height otherwise the ball would bounce away.”   

“And practice makes perfect!” added Ana.

“Absolutely!” Linda nodded in agreement, “like with everything else.”

“Although kneeing is different in many aspects, juggling with a soccer ball is a very good basic exercise for the control of your leg movement. Later, you will also practice precision and force in separate exercises. So now, tell me what is the actual target when using a knee strike?” asked Linda.

“Testicles!” we all yelled unisono.

The expression on her face showed she was satisfied that nobody used that awkward term ‘groin’. However, she added. “Well, not quite. The actual target is his pubic bone. As with other types of strikes you should visualize hitting a target positioned further behind or in this case above a vital point.”

“When kneeing imagine that his testicles are just in the way of your accelerated knee smashing against his pubic bone. Precision of the execution is important, and this requires understanding the position of the testicles depending on his clothing and possible arousal.”

Pubic bone is located just above the testicles 
and provides a very effective hard backing.

To explain what she was talking about she showed us an anatomical model of the male pubic region. “Notice the arc of the pelvis is just above the testicles, which provides a convenient hard backing for the knee strike. Now feel your knee with your fingers. The wide end of the femur bone and the top of the patella are not covered by much of the connective tissue, it is a perfect hard striking area.”

Linda then got on her feet and went again to the kicking dummy for another practical demonstration. “The vertical plane of your striking leg should be a little bit tilted to one side to make sure you trap one or both testicles. Otherwise, they might slip away to the sides. Precise aiming is also extremely important, and women usually do the mistake either by penetrating too deep between his legs or by hitting the front of the groin. If you knee too deep, you hit the perineum instead and the testicles would just bounce up on the soft muscle-covered area of your thigh. Just like a ball during juggling. It might hurt but it won’t cause a devastating pain. If you strike the front of the groin area you are actually getting only his pubes or his penis which would provide a cushion and the testicles would just be pushed back. Again, it might be painful, but it would be a missed opportunity to fully incapacitate him.”

“For these reasons, for a proper execution of a knee it is important there is a right distance between you and your attacker. If he is standing too close to you, quickly jab or slap his testicles with your fingers first. He will jolt back creating a more convenient space. If he is too far away, step a bit closer or you can grab him and pull his torso towards you. Another variation is to grab his shoulders to hang on to fix him and at the same time to keep your balance,” Linda then did exactly this on the kicking dummy.

“Generating maximum force is also important. Visualize you want to break free through a wall of bricks. Use your hips to gain a good momentum and go up with your knee close to a 45° angle. If you, do it correctly you should propel him at least a few centimeters in the air. After a strike, pull your leg back quickly to the starting position ready for the next knee. When possible, knee him several times. Do it at least twice,” she ended her demonstration by two quick knee strikes in the designated part of the kicking dummy making it to shake erratically.     

“Maybe it is too much information for the beginning, but you will have a lot of opportunities to train and practice this important technique,” said Linda and looked at her watch, “I think Bob and Peter are about to come anytime soon. I need to fetch something and be right back. You can continue with juggling if you want…”

Some of us including me grabbed the balls and tried the juggling again, some of us rather engaged in a chat about latest fashion trends. After a while somebody knocked on the door. It was Bob and Peter. They came in a good mood, it seemed like they won a competition or something. I felt glad for them, but at the same time I had some bad feeling how this session can end up for them…. They evidently got excited by all the free balls lying around.

“Guys, show us how you juggle!” Emma asked them.

No further persuasion was needed, and they immediately grabbed the opportunity to show off in front of the girls. Now we could see how it is done by almost a pro. They could nicely alternate between their thighs, feet, chests, and heads. Also I must admit Peter was better in this than Bob, maybe because he has some soccer classes in his curriculum. Unfortunately, their show soon came to a sudden end. “Watch your balls boys!” Linda made this sarcastic pun when she suddenly appeared behind them. Boys disappointedly stopped the play.  As she was passing by, she turned to them. “You have not taken a shower, have you? You two dirty piglets!”

“Do it right now and wear this! Only this!” She tossed a pile of shorts she was carrying in a small basket towards them. Boys then reluctantly disappeared in the locker rooms with the clothing she gave them. I know Linda strictly insisted they must maintain their hygiene on max if they want to join her classes.  To be continued…

P.S. I again allowed anonymous comments. I know self defense can be a touchy subject and I want to allow participate everybody in a discussion (also those who disagree with me) but please do not misuse it.

To snap an aubergine 🍆

After the coronavirus restrictions got lifted a few weeks ago, I could finally visit my hairdresser. Despite having a time booking, she was so busy with all that ungroomed hair of her customers that I had to wait a half an hour. I noticed a bunch of women’s magazines on the table. I normally do not read those, but I was quite bored, so I skimmed through some of them. One journal had an ‘intimacy’ section with an article titled ‘The five most common injuries during sex and how to prevent them’. Not surprising, one of them was penile fracture. Although the penis does not have a bone, it can get ‘broken’ causing a painful and difficult to heal injury. This can happen when a fully erect penis bends sharply as the result of, for instance, hitting a hard object like the woman’s pelvic floor or falling down during some wild intercourse acrobatics. This article recalled me one of the most memorable self defense classes we had with Linda. As you probably already guessed, causing penile fracture is one of the Linda’s suggested ways how to deal with an attacker with a hard-on. So, I was quite impatient to write a post about this relatively unknown but highly effective last resort self defense technique. This is how I recall that class.

“Girls do you like eggplants asked Linda right away as she entered the room and placed her full backpack on the floor. Well to be honest eggplants are not on the top of the list of my favorite foods. My mother used to roast them and served them as a side dish. But Emma immediately replied, “I often cook ratatouille for my boyfriend when I want to make him some vegan dish for a change. At first, he always complaints a lot but then he eats the whole casserole!”

Eggplants come with different
varieties which can be used  to simulate
either the penis and the testicles

 “Good for you and your boyfriend Emma, eggplants are healthy,” Linda nodded and took out a bag full of something which looked like vegies, but I could not immediately recognize them. I only knew the common eggplants you can buy in a local grocery store which look like a big purple bulb or a giant egg-like structure. Like the typical one we use as an emoji for penis 🍆.  

“These are some uncommon varieties I cultivate specially for my defense classes,” Linda said proudly as she showed us her harvest. “This thin elongated is ‘Long purple’ and this one resembling a small white egg is ‘Clara F1’. Clara F1 fruits I use as a substitute for large testicles and these long ones are great to simulate an erect penis. The last lessons we already discussed attacks on testicles, but as I mentioned earlier, do not forget the penis. When under an advanced sex attack, it is likely you will encounter an attacker with an erection. In this case, his testicles are usually lifted close to his body, making the scrotum less grabbable. Many self defense experts neglect this vital target, which is poor. I believe an erect penis is an easily reachable, fragile and destroyable organ, but as always, a correct technique must be applied. Let us have a chat before I show it to you.

 We sat down around her in an anticipation of another interesting lesson. Linda opened her tablet and showed us a presentation starting with an anatomy picture of the penis. “The penis is made of three cylindrical spongy bodies; the upper two are called corpora cavernosum and the lower one corpus spongiosum also forming the glans of penis. The two pieces of corpora cavernosa are covered by an elastic layer of connective tissue  which has the same name as the one covering the testes—tunica albuginea, ”Linda explained us while pointing on the medical diagram.

Principle of erection is
similar to a water hose connected
to an open tap

 “During a male’s arousal, these sponges are filled with blood and expand but tunica albuginea keeps the pressure inside, so the penis stiffens, enlarges and rises.  It is the same effect as a garden water hose you connected to a water tap. When the tap is open the pressure of water straightens the coiled hose. Penile fracture occurs when this connective tissue ruptures due to an extension passing the breaking point. This causes the leakage of blood and the so-called detumescence, a sudden drop of internal pressure and immediate loss of erection. Intriguingly, it is often associated with a popping sound. The desired effect is he will not be able to continue with his rape attempt.”

After this anatomy lecture Linda continued with the practical part. “There are several ways to cause penile fracture. The first one is to get a firm hold of the penis in your hand like this and forcefully snap it in a downward direction. It must be done with full force, if you are standing you can use your whole weight to gain the desired momentum. Imagine going all the way towards his ass.”

She then demonstrated us the proper execution of this technique.  She asked Ana to be her assistant. Ana held an elongated eggplant in a position of an erect penis. Linda clutched the eggplant with her right hand (A) and forcefully pushed it down (B). The eggplant broke into two pieces with a popping sound.     

“Another possibility is to hold the penis at the base tightly with one hand and then to sharply hit the second half in the direction which is the most available or in which you can exert the most force.  It can be in a sidewise, upward, or downward direction.” She took the second eggplant, grabbed it on one end with her left hand (C) and sharply hit the top part with the palm of her right hand (D). The half of the eggplant got immediately broken off.

Linda did not stop here and continued, “You can use your legs as well. If you are on the ground and he tries to get on top of you, bend your leg as much as possible and kick out that the arc of your feet hooks on the penis.”  She now asked Ana to hold the eggplant in the position of an approaching attacker leaning over Linda on the ground. She charged her leg and forcefully sprang it towards the poor eggplant in Ana’s hand. The half of it flew a few meters away.

This odd activity got noticed by Bob and Peter, who until then were sitting on the bench on the other side of the room playing with their smartphones. Linda called them out.

She placed the broken pieces of eggplants back in her backpack and to our amusement, she took out two dildos with a strap. “Eggplants are a good substitute, but for some real training we need something more realistic, durable and reusable and also we cannot have Peter and Bob to sustain any injury in their ‘joy-making’ organ; their girlfriends would be really angry with us,” Linda explained to her awed audience. Linda brought two sizes; as always she thinks about all the details and the possible variables when providing a male organ analogues. While she was holding the sex toys in front of us, she noticed a pressing question in our faces. “Aaa, I know what you are thinking,” she laughed, “don’t worry I use these only for the course.”

High quality realistic strap on
is handy for proper training of
the penile fracture technique 

 “Look these products are of a high quality, it has the texture and firmness as the real thing, and it even has these two silicone balls attached, so you can train a combination of techniques. I ordered it on Amazon. Luckily, we have a decent budget for this course from our department,” she said half ironically.

Linda asked the boys to undress themselves and to leave just their briefs on. Then she strapped the bigger one on Peter and the smaller one on Bob.

“Should not it be the other way around, you know to keep it true to reality,” commented Emma humorously, referring to already noticed natural differences in their genital size. Laura immediately opposed, “I think  this is the correct way, Peter has a ‘grower’ and Bob a ‘shower’.” Linda’s strict gaze gave a full stop to this pubertal banter and giggling. “Girls, stop it, I think both should be very proud of their real tools,” she said looking at them kindly. It almost sounded she speaks out of her own experience. I haven’t seen her being so affectionate to them before.  She carefully double checked the straps are firmly fastened and that the large silicone projection is in the right place.

“These things are soon going to experience some abuse,” Linda commented her effort. She then stood up and looked at the boys with a great satisfaction. Suddenly, her phone rang, so she left us for a while.

Boys seemed quite empowered and charged with confidence after this upgrade and used the Linda’s short absence to fool around and to chase us. We were screaming in disgust and running away from them as they tried to poke us with their big new enhancements. Only Tania with an ironic grin on her face, she calmly grabbed the Peter’s dildo and snapped it the downward motion, the way Linda just showed us just minutes ago and yelled at him “Penile fracture! You lost!”

Linda appeared back. “I see you have some fun. Let’s see how you can handle some simulated rape attempts.” She gave us instructions what should we do next. We were about to play out different sex attack scenarios during which we girls had to apply the penile fracture technique to put to an end the vicious sex attacks of our two horny model attackers.

I was quite excited, when it was my turn and I got Bob. I was lying on a mat pretending to sleep. He got on top of me attempting to get into the missionary position. When he was pretending that he is busy removing my top, I moved my hand in the right position between me and him and in a blink of a moment I snapped his artificial penis ‘all the way to his ass’. I did it with such a rigor that I accidentally hit his real testicles with my fist. He cried out in pain. However, I did not realize that. At first, I thought that he just puts on a show to add to the realism of the scene. I tossed him to the side, and I reversed our positions. By sitting on his thighs, I fixed his lower body, and I extended my legs and pushed them on his chest to immobilize his upper torso.  I grabbed the towering dildo with one hand and a silicone testicle by another. “Let’s see if you can handle this you filthy little would-be rapist. It hurts, isn’t it?” I asked him after I violently bended the thingy to demonstrate adding to the penile injury and I squeezed the fake testicle. “Ooh no, no, my balls!” screamed poor Bob. Stupid me, it took me quite some time to realize the problem. Gosh! Once again, a testicular first aid had to be provided…

P.S.

I allowed anonymous comments again. But please behave (also you Canadian hotheads!).

Interview with Susanne

It is always nice to have a chat with your friend
even if it is about a self defense course

Last summer, when the coronavirus restrictions got lifted for a while, I met Susanne in a shopping center.  We have not seen each other since her graduation so I invited her for a cup of coffee.  There was so much to chat about. She got married to her long-time boyfriend and they are planning their first child. She also got a job in a private orthopedic clinic. Her dream has always been to open her own practice so at the same time she is working hard to get her first attestation. As I already wrote, Susanne was very attentive to Bob and Peter. She somehow balanced the Linda’s harsh attitude towards them. I told her about my blog and asked her if I could make an interview with her to get an opinion from another female participant. I explained her that some aspects of our self defense course stirred controversy among readers of my blog. Hence, I thought it would be interesting to hear her experience and what is her standpoint on some of these issues. We were planning to meet again but unfortunately the following late autumn lockdown changed our plans for quite some time. This spring’s opening made it possible again. I just managed to translate and type down my handwritten notes, so here is the interview. It is indeed very insightful!

Susanne, why did you take the course?

I come from a small town where we basically know each other. Personal safety has never been an issue for me until I came here to study at the university. Suddenly, I appeared in a whole new environment, often welcoming, sometimes quite hostile and dangerous. The city is large with many quarters rather not to go. The university student life included wild parties, meeting new friends and of course receiving a lot of attention from all sorts of guys.

I love swimming, so I regularly visited the university health club with a large pool. One day, late evening, it was about the closing time I was dressing up in the locker room after shower. I thought I was alone there. Suddenly, out of nowhere a young man accosted me. He must have sneaked in the women’s section unnoticed through a back door. He was strong, much taller than me and mean looking. He was naked with just a towel wrapped around his waist. I was petrified and I had no clue how to react. He pushed me against a wall, started to kiss me and forced his hand between my legs. Suddenly, I could hear some voices; two janitors were coming in. He cursed, let me go and ran out through the emergency exit door. I was in such a shock that I was trembling, and I could hear my heart beating. For several nights I had difficulties to sleep. All the time the bad throughs what could have happened if he was not disturbed were going through my head. I realized I must take some action to be able to handle such situations, so I enrolled the course.

Did you worry about the ‘special’ nature of the course?

I knew that the course is far from ordinary beforehand. We heard some compelling stories from the past attendees! We discussed the safety issues in our class group during a break. I know that some of the girls were reluctant to take such a course and called it a creepy nonsense and a total waste of time. “Touching and kicking some guy’s naked balls?!, no way!” was the response of one of my classmates.  But I was not hesitating even the slightest moment. Wendy, I think you would also agree that at the end it went so well, and we even had some fun and we really learned something.  

What did you like the most?

It was clear from the beginning that Linda put a lot of thoughts to the structure and the content of the course which was so diverse and interesting. During the course I realized that female self defense does not have to be taught as a death serious dark subject but could be fun and a good physical work out as well. It all started with very informative lectures, then we always had some warmup exercises and games at the beginning.  Linda was also telling us many inspirational success stories. And of course, as the other girls I really enjoyed having Bob and Peter around. Such brave and dedicated lads. They are handsome and fit as well, aren’t they?  

Was there something you did not like?

Susanne is a very dedicated and attentive 
 young orthopedist. She used hers medical skills
during the course 

Well to be honest, at the beginning it was not that easy to get through that conversion of my mindset. As a young medic I have always learned how to heal and how to ease the pain. Here I learned how to inflict the most serious injuries and to cause an incredible pain. It was extremely uncomfortable for me to see Bob and Peter suffering after being hit in the testicles or the Adam’s apple. I had a long discussion with Linda about those feelings. She helped me to get through this uneasy condition and to understand the purpose and the necessity of all of this. To overcome my bad sentiments, she made me the chief paramedic of the course. She even taught me how to check the testicles for any signs of internal trauma and how provide the so called testicular first aid. I think the two guys really appreciated to have somebody like that on site, always ready to help. Hmm, I would think sometimes they misused  that a little!

Have you been surprised by something?

The Linda’s unconventional approach in teaching female self defense and some content of the course was indeed full of surprises. I had four semesters of human anatomy, but I could still learn some completely new things about the body mechanics and some interesting details about the male body and its vital points. Luckily, we had Bob and Peter around, so Linda could teach these subjects in a very practical and fun way. Surprisingly, we also learned a lot about male psychology and how to utilize this knowledge for self defense. Who would ever think all of this is a part of female self defense course, right?

Many commenters on my blog criticized how we and Linda treated Bob and Peter. What do you think about that?

To some extent I understand the rage of your readers and I must admit that indeed sometimes Linda was not very nice to them. But too nice attitude defies the effectiveness of a training. She used her approach to break our squeamishness and to build our confidence and empowerment. I came to a conclusion how important is to train with a man and with the highest realism possible. Yes, you have to kick the testicles to see you did it correctly and it really has an effect. Yes, you have to practice grabbing a real set of balls to be ready to do it quickly and correctly in a critical situation.  As you cannot learn medicine just by reading books and watching TV series, you cannot effectively learn self defense by sparring with a padded, hardly moving attacker. If you use an injection, it causes pain, but it also delivers the medication. We all tried to compensate their sacrifice with our attentiveness and affection. Despite that, there were moments I thought they are not coming back for the next class, but to our relieve they came back again and again. I admire their great dedication to help us with our cause.

Some readers also do not like the brutality of some techniques and are afraid of misuse. Would you agree?

Well, the ability to defend sometimes comes with brutality. The rape is a horrible crime which calls for an appropriate response. If a female victim would help to rupture the attacker’s testes or to gouge his eyes out, then she should do it, it is fully acceptable. It should therefore be also expected and normal to teach these techniques. I am convinced that any of the girl attendees would not ever think to use these techniques as a mean to punish their boyfriends or during a verbal argument. I learned which drug could kill a patient when overdosed, does it mean I am going to use this knowledge to kill people?

What about the re-enactment of your attack? Was it helpful?

At first, I was reluctant to do it. I thought it would just rub the salt into the wound. But at the end of the day I agreed, and it was a good decision.  Linda insisted it should resemble that scene as much as possible.  We chose Peter to play the attacker as he had the same height and body type. He just wore a groin protector and a towel. After my description he played out the attack on me in the precisely same way, he even put his hand between my thighs. Linda then showed me what would be the best approach to eliminate him. To submit initially and to show an interest by unwrapping the towel. Then to move the towel up and to wrap it quickly around his head so he cannot see. His instinct would be to remove the towel so he will move his hands towards his covered face. Then I can use the towel as a handle to pull him sideway, which would cause him to keep his balance by spreading his legs. Then his completely unprotected bare testicles would be the perfect target for several precise knee strikes. When he collapses, I can use his 'blindness' and confusion to stomp well between his splayed legs with the ball of my foot to finish the job.  He will think twice to try it again on a woman.

To make the re-enactment of the attack
as real as possible, Peter wore only
a groin protector and a towel

Then I tried out the whole sequence several times. Peter was lucky we agreed on wearing a groin protector because I always somehow went berserk during the kneeing sequence. Even with the highest quality hard cup at some point Peter felt it and had to rest for a while. I came to him, hugged him, and asked him, “Peter, lets try it again, but this time without the guard.” I was just joking of course, but he took it seriously and he gestured to me to be quiet. Apparently, he was afraid that Linda would hear that, and she comes to us that it is indeed a great idea, and we should try that! He was so cute that moment! Nevertheless, this re-enactment helped me to get over this horrible  experience and it empowered me so much. I do not have any nightmares or recurring bad memoires anymore. I know if it ever happens again, I know the attacker is going to regret it for the rest of his life!

What would be your final words to the readers of my blog?

I understand that some things are difficult to read and digest, especially for men, but I would tell them not to come to some false quick conclusions. They should think out of the box. My cousin attended an expensive week-long course. The only thing she learned was to yell fire and that groin kicks do not work. I am not saying that I am now an invincible warrior, but I have learned, tried out, and seen the outcome of some devastating techniques of self defense for real and I know I can use them when needed. Women should take their safety into their hands and attend a high-quality course as we did. This is the way to go to put an end to all the rapes and sex attacks.

Thank you so much Susanne for this interview!  

The art of kneeing (part 1)

When I posted the story about Alison, a CEO of a big company who defended from her harassing young boss using a well-placed knee, some of you were curious how I learned this famous technique of female self-defense. Soon after I started to write a post about it, I realized there is so much to tell and to explain that I decided to split this important and interesting topic into several separate posts. In this part I write about the class we got introduced into the art of kneeing. Here is how I recall it.

That session we expected Bob and Peter to come later because of some training they could not skip. To our surprise Linda appeared in the door with a net full of soccer balls.

Juggling a soccer ball is a good way
to initiate the training of kneeing

“Seems Linda have mixed up her classes,” Laura whispered to my ears. We both chuckled as we knew she also assists in couching a female soccer team at the university. As always, she initiated the class with a little exercise. “Girls, for today's warmup grab a ball and try juggling it with your thighs,” she took one ball and showed us what she meant, “The best is to start like this. Toss the ball from the level of your shoulders, use your  thigh to bounce it straight up and catch it with your hands. After repeating this sequence at least ten times, try bouncing the ball twice without catching it with your hands, then three times and so on… At first, just with the same thigh, then try to alternate the thighs for a nice juggling experience”.

After the demonstration of the basics, she showed us her professional skills. She was so good in it, almost like one famous soccer player in a commercial I saw some time ago. Needless to say, the very notable difference was her large breasts hopping in the rhythm of her perfect thigh-play.  

Most of us were doing this for the first time, so our performance was absolutely no match for the agility and elegance of Linda. Our failing efforts to tame the ball and keep it going where we wanted were accompanied by occasional (just girly:) cursing. After a couple of minutes, we were getting better and better an even I managed a nice string of uninterrupted touches before Linda ended this exercise by clapping her hands.

“Quite tricky, isn’t it? Don’t worry, it takes a lot of time to practice. But I could see some of you are quite good at it,” she glanced at me, while she was saying that, so I felt a little bit proud for a moment. “Now let’s have a chat about the topic of this session which is the knee strike,” she initiated the theoretical part.

We all sat down on mats around her. She took out her tablet from her backpack and surprised us by playing a movie clip. It was a scene of a well-known romantic drama from my country. I have seen it already several times, but honestly, not the best piece of cinematographic art. The film featured a young cocky guy from a rich higher-class family trying hard to win the heart of a beautiful village girl. However, she was only interested in a poor boy, a recruit sent to war. Well, a type of plot which always makes my grandma to cry.

A movie cliché with a lot of truth in it 

The scene Linda was playing depicted a moment when both protagonists accidentally appeared together in the woods. She was picking berries; he was hunting. He tried to take the advantage of the situation. Luckily, she ended his inappropriate advances by using a quick knee strike. He collapsed in pain and let her go. Her honor was saved, his testicles and machismo got hurt. I guess a lot. Linda stopped the clip and asked us what we think about it.

“Kudos to her for defending from that asshole!” Tania replied immediately.

“Do not go to woods alone!” Emma provided her original view,

Linda smiled to this a little bit naïve comment and explained us what she had on her mind, “This scene is a typical movie cliché, right? A woman resolves a dangerous situation by a knee to a man’s testicles. But there is a lot of truth in it. It is a very instinctive response, hardwired in our female mindset, something like putting hands in front of you when you are falling. The female character was a simple poor village girl, for sure she did not have a privilege to attend such a fancy self defense course as you do.” We all had to chuckle to this ironic remark.

“But still, she did what indeed works in such a situation,” Linda then continued, “A knee strike to the testicles is a staple technique of female self defense. It comes very naturally. It can be used in various situations, from different positions and in a combination with other techniques. But unfortunately, this move is often shrouded in myths and horribly taught in most self-defense courses.” She paused for a moment and gazed at us with her dark eyes before she continued, “But girls, I want you to master the art of this technique. I’ll teach you a fail proof perfect knee as a deadly weapon of a woman. Just watch!”  

The effectives of a knee can be nicely
demonstrated with two small unripe pears 

She got on her feet and took out a plastic bag with two small green pears from her backpack.  As I remember it was early fall, and these types of seasonal fruits were not fully ripe yet, so unfortunately, she could not offer us a health snack this time. She put the bag in the shorts of our ‘artificial’ kicking dummy and carefully positioned it inside, so it formed a realistically looking bulge. She straightened up and knee-stroke the area between the dummy’s legs. She put her hand inside the shorts, removed the bag and showed it to us. The pears were intact maybe little bit compressed to each other.

“This was an example of a bad, random knee,” she explained us, “It would probably hurt and there is a good chance it will create an opportunity for you to escape, but it might not be sufficient to take down a highly determined attacker or an attacker on drugs. Now I show you the type of knee I teach.”

She returned the bag in the shorts, got in a fighting stance, and forcefully kneed the dummy by a trio of fast and well-aimed strikes. Now she used her hips and hanged on the shoulders of the dummy. This time we could also hear an audible crunching sound. She fished out the bag from the dummy’s shorts and proudly showed us the outcome. The bag was now filled with mashed matter and the two pears were basically no longer recognizable. “An odd way to make a pear puree, isn’t it?” she said sarcastically while she dropped the mushy bag in the trash bin… To be continued.
