A brief account of my first wrestling adventure By Shy Guy, AlisdairM@GreenWarlock.demon.co.uk Why? How? And what happened? When I wrestled Sonia Fernandez This is an account of how I discovered female wrestling, why I arranged to wrestle with Sonia, and how it all turned out. In particular I hope it will help other newcomers decide on `taking the plunge'. I went for it, and loved every minute. I am writing this the day after our match, and I am a little stiff this morning, with just a couple of aches. But even these feel good, as I can remember how I earned them! I first encountered Diana's web site just over a month ago, and up until then I had though I was possessed by a unique fetish, strong fighting women. I believe this isolation is quite common with people who visit here, and now I was presented with goodies beyond my wildest dreams. I also got to read about a lot of female wrestlers in the USA who will entertain a private match for a reasonable fee. I could dream, but in the UK I was a safe distance away, so dreams were safe! Then I discovered the Web site of Sonia Fernandez. She was gorgeous, she appeared to love wrestling, and she was unbelievably local. Sonia bears a striking resemblance to my `dream woman'. Despite my fondness for fighting females, I have always thought a woman's sexiest attribute was her smile, and Sonia's is a real winner, going all the way from `warm and friendly' to `downright predatory'. We traded a couple of Emails, and Sonia came across as warm, friendly and enthusiastic. One of my concerns was that when I turned up to play, I wanted her to overpower and dominate me completely. Rather than me relinquish control, I wanted her to take it regardless. She said she was looking forward to it! My other concern was that at 6'4" I may be a little tall for her, but she was so confident! My only remaining worry was that it may be a little expensive for me, but my other new hobby on motorsport made that all seem more than reasonable, and as this was going to be a once in a lifetime fantasy fulfillment, to an extent, the cost didn't matter. I phoned her up, and booked an appointment for April 1st (If I was going to make a fool of myself, I would at least do it properly!) I turned up at one o'clock, still nervous about the meeting. While I had seen and read all about her on the Web, she knew nothing about me apart from what we had exchanged in a few Emails, where I was largely a shy fan. What if she didn't like me? The door opened, and I was greeted by the warm smiling woman of my dreams. I was instantly struck by how well she filled a space. She wasn't `big' or anything, but somehow managed to fill more of a room than her mere body occupied! She was awesome. Her reaction seemed to be a little surprise at quite how tall I was. Apparently this was still not going to be a problem, but she was disappointed that some of her favorite holds, grapevine/smother combinations, might not be possible. There just wasn't enough Sonia to go around! We spent a while making light conversation. She's great fun to be with, even when not wrestling, and this helped me relax. Eventually the conversation moved onto our forthcoming activities. While I just wanted Sonia to enjoy herself, she was concerned that I shouldn't suffer anything too unpleasant for me! We agreed that I wouldn't get knocked out, and probably shouldn't bruise either. This was my first time, and I can be such a wuss! We then went our separate ways to change. I had checked with Sonia a week before, and brought along a suitable pair of baggy shorts. She looked stunning in her leotard. We then headed over to the mats to start wrestling. We started each bout from a kneeling position. Initially I was disappointed at this, I wanted to be taken down from a more familiar standing position. Unfortunately, being quite so tall, I don't think Sonia could have done this without hurting me more than we wanted, and there may not have been room either. I have little doubt now that she could do it though! And after the first bout, it all seemed so natural anyway, I was worrying over nothing. We squared off, and Sonia reached out. Suddenly I was in a tight headlock, I'm still not 100% sure where it came from, and as she rolled on top of me I was in danger of being suffocated in her breast. This was more disconcerting than I had expected, and possibly a little more exciting. Now the challenge was there, what could I do about it. I tried wriggling my head free, I had to start somewhere, but I couldn't twist too far either way. I then tried pulling it out, finding leverage from my legs through my body. Don't know how it worked, but it meant I that as I pulled, my legs crawled around the mats clockwise. Sonia just rotated on top, so my pull was going nowhere. I gave up after about 1 rotation. All the time she is teasing me, mocking my efforts. But you can hear the smile still, so that's all right! After a couple minutes in this hold, Sonia stopped playing and went for the smother. As soon as I couldn't breath I panicked and tapped a submission. Sonia released instantly, for which I am immensely grateful! Sonia seemed amused at how easily I submitted, as she hadn't actually started the move properly yet. I was a little embarrassed, but a warm smile showed me it didn't really matter too much! I rolled away to get my breath back, and just as I started sitting up again Sonia planted herself firmly on my chest, and pinned my arms securely. This was a great hold, as I could stare up into her beautiful face and see how much she enjoyed dominating men like this. While I was in no immediate danger or discomfort, I could tell this was not a good position to be in! So I looked for a way out, before Sonia decided to do something here. As she was sat so far up my chest, I managed to curl my back up, and tried to hook under her arms with my legs. I should then have been able to throw her onto her back. This move appeared to catch her completely by surprise. She later told me she hadn't expected a tall man to be so supple. Unfortunately she was just too far up my chest, so I couldn't quite hook in. The surprise did let me twist sideways and topple her though, and we wrestled semi-competitively for a minute or so until she got me back into the headlock mentioned above. I would see a lot of those headlocks in the next hour, and I wasn't going to catch her by surprise with the legs again either, she learns quickly too! For the final bout of the `first round' Sonia invited me to start on top. Fortunately, I spotted that her legs were looking more than a little menacing, so I dodged the scissors on my way in, and ended up on top, not in complete control, but at least with a temporary advantage. At this point, I realized I didn't know what I was fighting for. Up to now it had been survival, but now I had an advantage I didn't know how to press. Sonia explained that if I pinned both her shoulders to the mat for a pre-agreed count, that would score a point if we were wrestling. We agreed on a count of three, and now I had a goal for the session! Sonia, in the meantime, was only going for submissions. Pinning me for a count would have been too easy! We then spent a minute as I learned to count to two, at which point Sonia would pop a shoulder out and I would chase her arm around again for another ten seconds or so. When she got bored with this game, she rolled over and quite shortly I was in a body scissors. Before I had turned up, this was the move that most excited me, though I hadn't told Sonia this. That was a good job, because it was intensely painful, and she hadn't even started applying any pressure yet! I submitted instantly, and thankfully she released straight away, giggling a little. I really was a wuss! At this point we took a break for water, and probably to give me time to recover! Sonia asked if this is what I expected, what I wanted. She was concerned that I should enjoy myself. I assured her I was! I had come with few expectations, I didn't want to make the day conform to something it wasn't, that I had read in some-one else's review. I wanted to enjoy it for what it was. I did mention it would be quite fun if she could slap me around a bit more, so far it had all been wrestling holds. She got the point very nicely, and in the future those gaps where she was sat on top of me, and I was quietly catching my breath underneath, might suddenly be punctuated by a few slaps, as an encouragement to get back into gear and do something! We went on to wrestle for around another hour, with a couple more breaks for water. Sonia was on form now I had been warmed up, and I could be scissored from any angle on a moments notice! And now she knew how to tease. She would mock the `big man' being held by a `small woman' who was only using one arm! Or she would take an arm or a leg `prisoner', and wouldn't release it unless I asked nicely, using her words. And without giggling (damn that last bit was hard!) Of course, I would try to reclaim my own body parts, but largely without success. At one point she even used my crush on Diana against me. (Don't worry Diana, I remained (largely) faithful!) Beware, that disarming, friendly pre-match conversation could come back and haunt you! Sonia also took time to demonstrate a few of the more entertaining holds, such as the figure 4 scissors, with my passive help. Foolishly I agreed to all this! The lady knows her scissors! I never did get that pin in the end, though in the last bout I did get a variation on my leg trick again (Sonia must have been getting overconfident!). I managed to curl up and get both knees around Sonia's waist, and squeeze, though not too hard as it wasn't a scissor or anything useful. Still, Sonia seemed to appreciate the effort, so that made it worthwhile! This final match ended with Sonia reversing my attempt at a pin into a flawlessly executed frontal body scissors, with Sonia beneath and me just falling deeper into it under gravity. OUCH! Of course I submitted instantly! Sonia told me that technically that was the best executed of her scissors of the day. She may have been saving the best till last, but even with no power in there, I was done for! After the match, we sat around and chatted for what seemed like another hour or so! Sonia is a lot of fun to talk to, and has more than a few good stories too! The whole afternoon was very relaxed, and I didn't feel rushed at any point. I definitely want to do this again! I had a great time, and if anyone reading this is still unsure of whether he wants to wrestle a woman or not, I would urge him to go for it. And if you get the chance to wrestle Smiling Sonia Fernandez (I hope I won't suffer for calling her that again!) you really can't afford to miss it. The only downside to wrestling Sonia is you should be prepared to book again. She may not ask this of you, but you will certainly ask it of yourself! As a final tip, the more accurately you can tell the lady what you want, the better the day will go. I thought I wanted a lot of domination, but I largely got a semi-competitive wrestling match. This isn't because I expressed myself badly, it is what I had actually wanted, but didn't know how to ask for it. Sonia saw that, and responded. The domination I sought came through the wrestling.
