I squirmed in my seat, acutely aware of how wet I had become. When Michael positioned himself behind Georgette, slowly pushing his hard length into her tight rear entrance, I couldn’t help but imagine what it would feel like. The burn, the stretch, the exquisite fullness…
I stopped the video. The screen showed a frozen close-up of Georgette’s blushing face, eyes closed and lower lip between her teeth.
I don’t want to be her! I shouted at myself.
My heart flipped as my thoughts slid in an even less welcome direction, and suddenly I became the one holding the whip, the one making Georgette cry out in her penitence. The one…
I shook my head and turned off the screen.
CHAPTER 11
Melissa
I rushed back to my desk, my cheeks flushed and my heart racing. I tried to push away the vivid images from the video, but they kept intruding on my thoughts. Georgette’s cries, the angry red welts on her bottom, the look of ecstasy on her face as Michael…
No. Focus. This is about work. About… change.
I took a deep breath and opened my proposal document. To my surprise, words began to flow from my fingertips as if they had a life of their own. The episode I had just watched, as disturbing as it had been—maybe because of the effect it had had on me—had sparked something in my mind. I saw connections I hadn’t before, patterns emerging from the data.
Recent audience response data, I typed furiously, indicates a significant trend among a currently small, but clearly susceptible to explosive growth, segment of viewership: female viewers of New Modesty Blue in households where the male breadwinner does not watch NMB.
The segment has not been given the attention it deserves, and so we aren’t even sure how the circumstance comes about. It appears, though, that certain customers acquire their NMB subscriptions either by mistake or because they’re interested but too busy to watch. A statistically significant number of their resident wives and partners, however, become frequent NMB viewers. These viewers respond with levels of arousal that often exceed that of loyal male subscribers who watch with comparable frequency.
Assessment’s recent whitepaper, Points of Reference: a Model for Cryptic Submissives’ Engagement, provides a fascinating look at how submissive women in long-term relationships can use erotic content as an essential reference point for conversations with their partners about submission. I theorize that the phenomenon they observe represents a significant opportunity for marketing NMB.
I paused, my fingers hovering over the keyboard. Was I really writing this? But I couldn’t deny the truth of it. The data was there in the whitepaper on the one hand and in the audience data on the other.
The episode ‘Georgette’s Kitchen Lesson’ serves as a prime example of NMB’s ability to provide a point of reference for submissive desires, I continued. The situation and the authenticity of the real-world New Modesty couple tap into deep-seated fantasies that many of these cryptically submissive women struggle to articulate.
I swallowed hard as a new wave of arousal threatened to derail me into picturing Georgette’s face.
By presenting real scenarios of women like Georgette receiving loving but firm discipline and then being made to give pleasure to their partners, NMB offers such viewers a spectrum of experiences to explore vicariously. That, in turn, as Assessment’s whitepaper makes clear, makes it easier for submissive women to identify and express their own boundaries and desires to their partners.
The words poured out of me, filling paragraph after paragraph. Using the incredible wealth of data Assessment had collected, I delved into the psychology behind submission. I even managed to cite their studies on the therapeutic effects of submission for depressed women, pushing far, far away my thoughts about my own needs or lack thereof. I analyzed the careful balance Georgette’s shameful punishment struck between fantasy fulfillment and responsible portrayal of consent and aftercare.
Moreover, I wrote, my cheeks burning, the production quality and attention to detail in episodes like ‘Georgette’s Kitchen Lesson’ create an immersive experience for viewers. The authentic reactions of the couple, the palpable chemistry between them, and the meticulous staging all contribute to the realism that resonates deeply with the audience.
I found myself describing specific moments from the episode—the way Michael’s voice softened even as he disciplined Georgette, the way she responded to the discomfort of his hardness in her smallest hole. I wrote about how these elements created a holistic representation of a D/s relationship, one that went beyond mere physical acts to explore the emotional dynamics at play.
Every one of these aspects of NMB’s content corresponds to Assessment’s observations on points of reference, I concluded. By providing such vivid, multifaceted portrayals NMB serves as the safe space for exploration and self discovery that this segment clearly needs, to help them address the issue of submission with their husbands and partners. The marketing campaign outlined above, targeted at this underserved segment, could potentially add as many as ten million subscriptions within six months of launch.
