Narrative Messages Part 1

"Film At Eleven" introduces its readers to a shemale exhibitionist who's also a "news hound." What is an exhibitionist? Someone who craves attention. This craving suggests that such a person lacks the very thing that he or she seeks. The exhibitionist is likely to be someone who is routinely ignored. He or she flaunts his or her body to get attention, to be acknowledged, to feel as if someone is aware of his or her existence. When they are younger, males wonder how women must feel to be gawked at by guys. Do they feel embarrassed? Self-conscious? Threatened? Most girls and women admit that, on the contrary, they enjoy being noticed. There are girl watchers because the girls want to be watched. They wear makeup and tight-fitting blouses. They wear skin-tight slacks or jeans. They wear mini-skirts. They wear bikinis. They wear thongs. A shemale is no different than a genetic girl. She also craves attention that she wouldn't get-at least, not to the same degree-were she not to flaunt her body.

Exhibitionists, psychologists say, also want to shock. They want to outrage. This is certainly one of the motives of the protagonist of "Film At Eleven": " I let my wrist brush against the side of my skirt, making sure to lift the hemline enough in the process to offer anyone behind me a good view of my ass cheeks. I usually do this several times, pretending to rub a sore spot on my hip or to scratch a persistent itch, letting only the lower halves of my buttocks show the first time, then half of them the next time, and maybe all of them the third time. Sometimes, I get so turned on that my cock stiffens and swells, and the men and women in front of me may get to see more than they'd bargained for when they'd entered the shopping center-a buxom young woman with shapely legs and a bulge in her crotch!" She is also thrilled at the chance of being "caught": ", I confess, the chance of getting caught is also quite exciting!"
