My Match with Remi You can contact Remi; she has a page in the schedules list on this web site When the door pulled open my stomach sank and my heart melted. After talking to her on the phone about two hours prior -- her voice lilting, her attitude engaging -- Remi could have been a run-of-the-mill muscle chick and it wouldn't have mattered. But here, standing before me just inside the hotel room was an unabashed physical masterpiece, carved from granite and silk. Unless you're enamored with the Aryan attributes of blonde hair and blue eyes, Remi is perfection. Dark hair and eyes. A face like Sharon Bruneau's, only prettier, more feminine. Tanned skin that's smooth and glossy -- like from the pages of a magazine. Powerful torso, lean waist, cinder blocks for thighs and bricks for calves. When she walked, which she did to change into her wrestling outfit, the muscles in her legs throbbed. For the match, Remi wore a red, white and blue one-piece bathing suit. Very patriotic. If she was the U.S., then I was going to be Iraq. I had no chance. From the size of her thighs, I knew I could not match her in lower body strength (she is after all a world-record-holder in powerlifting) -- I must avoid getting snared between them at all costs. I also knew concentration would be a problem: It's difficult to remember to breathe when in the presence of such beauty, never mind trying to contort her into a pretzel. I nearly had to slap myself to remember the task at hand. From the outset, Remi overpowered me. I knew she would be too strong, but she was also too fast. And too smart. She anticipated every move I made and countered each time. I did a good job staying away from those thighs, but she kept trapping me in a headlock. From there, she'd gain leverage and forced my face into the floor] (I must have eaten a half-pound of carpet by the time it was over). When I was completely at her mercy, she'd snake those golden legs around me. Submission was a formality. I slammed my fist to the floor and said, "Let's go again." The second fall was no different. Again, I had avoided her legs and again she'd put me in a headlock. She flipped me over on my back -- like a turtle -- knocking the wind out of me. I wouldn't get it back as her legs crushed me into submission. Before long, the score was 11-0. Now, I had fully expected to lose to this Amazon goddess but I didn't want her to think I was a total wimp. And her attitude was getting on my nerves: She was so nice, so sweet, so matter-of-fact about the way she was destroying a man five years her junior and 35 pounds heavier. She wasn't even sweating. Not a hair on her beautiful head was out of place. After each fall, she'd bounce up with the energy of a kitten, while I'd sag to the mat and request a time out. I asked Remi for one more try and took a five-minute break to collect myself. This was it. No more kidding around. OK, she's strong, but she's not a guy, she's a frigging girl. I was no longer consumed by her beauty, but rather a sense to salvage my manhood, my dignity. I would go back out there, and use my superior size to wear her down. I would pin her on her back and sit on her stomach, flexing my biceps in a symbol of dominance. When I returned Remi was down on all fours -- the bottom position in amateur wrestling. She was giving me a handicap. Muscled rippled under her tan skin from her traps to her hams. I tried not to stare at her form -- for like the eclipse, I knew I must look away. But if she was going to give me an edge, I was going to take it. I jumped on top and slid my hands behind her neck, trying to put her in a full nelson. I almost got it locked when she pushed her feet into the floor and sent me flying backwards. I off the floor just as Remi approached. We exchanged feints -- she was almost exclusively a counter-fighter, hardly ever initiating the combat. I went to grab her head and she shoved me in the shoulders. I recoiled. Must have been off balance, I reassured myself. She hadn't moved so I reached for her again. Another shove and this time I fell over. Remi smiled and my frustration boiled into a froth. So then I did something really stupid. I asked for a break and when Remi turned around I went kamikaze, hoping to steamroll over her and knock her on her pretty little ass. Screw it, I'd had enough of this humiliation. I held her arms down was going for the pin. But Remi, besides being very beautiful and very powerful, is also very flexible. She slipped her feet to my chest, and although she had almost no momentum, was able to push me off her. I did a somersault and landed on my back. I knew I was dead. It was like when you're a kid and you've done something stupid and you're father finds out. There's no way to escape -- you just have to take your medicine. For Dr. Remi, that medicine was about 10,000 cc's of quad muscles. She approached quickly, cat-like just as I got to my knees. Facing me, she pulled my hair and yanked me head between those thighs. The pain was paralyzing, yet erotic. I realized that all along, Remi had been toying with me, not wanted to use full power. She released me and a fell to the floor like 195 pounds of laundry. I had no fight left in me. Remi just wanted to make sure I had learned my lesson about cheating. She moved around behind me and carefully put me into the classic headscissors -- my neck was nestled high between her thighs. She crossed her ankles and began to squeeze. Not too much pressure: Remi didn't want to injure me, just demonstrate her strength. There is nothing like it when Remi is in control. She has fun with it, moving my body around at will saying things like, "I want you to face this way . . . now this way" as she shifted her weight and my body following in tow. As I laid there, my face buried in her thighs, I felt humiliated but also at peace. Even though I've always enjoyed the notion of a woman defeating me in wrestling, I always figured I'd have to tank the match to achieve that end. But after an hour with Remi, I knew that wasn't the case. The world is full of powerful women, probably none as beautiful as Remi, who can dominate men in the physical arts. THE END
