Dating and the Miranda warning..

Soon after I arrived at work, a San Jose police officer walked into the store. She was cute, a bit short, but fun. We joked a bit while one of the managers checked on some backstocked furniture for her. I got back to my register, and began helping a customer.

Evidently while my back was turned, said law enforcement officer checked out my ass and said "I wouldn't mind frisking him."

*sigh*

Why don't women tell me these things to my face? It would help things immensely! A cute woman with hand-to-hand training and easy access to handcuffs? Heaven!

Probably the same reason you didn't tell her she was cute.

Well, I was working at the time. The company frowns on flirting with customers.

As does the SJPD, I imagine. :)

Cute Cops are interesting sub fetish. ;)

Frankly, if you can't make practically anything into a sub fetish, you're not trying.

The main problem with handcuffing a healthy adult male is what precisely do you handcuff him TO that won't be damaged when he thrashes around?

Not that I'm asking for personal reasons or anything, oh no.

NOT the fire-sprinkler head, for ghu's sake!

(Sorry.) (And I wasn't even at that Con.)

Anyway: to a sturdy bedframe, to eyebolts properly set in ceiling joists, to a St. Andrews Cross, ...

(You'd never guess I'm a bottom and don't do bondage, would you?)

I don't have any sub fetishes. Cruisers are much more exciting.... ;-)

Handcuffs are more a weapon than a decent fetish object.

To the person who asked what you could cuff an adult to that wouldn't break, may I suggest the headboard of an antique bed, an eyebolt set in the rafters, a light post (if you do the exhibition thing), a stairwell banister . . . but better yet, tell him that if he tries to break it, you'll stop. That almost always works.

As for "not on company time" factor, the accepted way to handle this is to come up with a polite social excuse to get the other person's number. Done adroitly this can be quite casual and appropriate. If the person doesn't return your interest, no number and no problem.

(The rumor that a female police officer might give out "911" as her phone number is not true. There are crazy people who would take that literally, and she doesn't want to have to deal with the resulting complaints from Dispatch.)

Unfortunately none of those objects nor those Janet listed are handy.

And it ain't about what this hypothetical person (not myself, of course not) would do deliberately, but what he might do accidentally in the. . . heat of the moment.

Might have to check into a motel. Can you imagine this conversation with the desk clerk.

"We need a room for the night, but first we have to look at the bedposts. Have to make sure they are sturdy."

I doubt it would register on a hotel clerk's wierdometer given what I'm sure they see on a regular basis, but it would be a little odd for me.

You don't think *I'm* gonna be the one asking do you?

Isn't that what a sub's for??? *g*

Yes, ma'am. It would be my pleasure to abase myself in front of the hotel clerk.

"My dominant would like to handcuff me to the bed while she beats me. Can your beds deal with this?"
