Control
“You’ll start to dress her, think for her, own her. If you and your victim are
sexually active, slow it down. After sex, take her shopping for one item. Hair
and/or nails is fine. She’ll develop a feeling of accomplishment. The shopping after
a month will be replaced with cash. The love making turns to raw sex. She’ll start
to crave intimacy and be willing to get back into your good graces. After you have
broken her sprit, she has no sense of self value. Now pimp, put a price tag on the
item
you
have
manufactured”

Remove any other sources of need
fulfillment.

fulfillment by forcing them into prostitution.

He treated me nice. Spent a thousand dollars
on me. Got my nails done, my eyebrows
arched. My hair, I had weaves. He just spent
a whole lot of money on me. And I felt like a
queen. Everything I needed he’d get it for me.
