In her new memoir, ‘A Stolen Life,’ which hit book stores today, July 12, Jaycee opens up about kidnapper Phillip Garrido’s ‘runs,’ which she describes as ‘the most horrible moments of my life.’
After watching Jaycee Dugard‘s interview with Diane Sawyer, we learned what these “runs” or “long days of sex” consisted of — Phillip Garrido would get high on meth and dress Jaycee up in absurd outfits for hours, switching and contorting her body into “perfect positions,” while making her listen to the voices coming from the wall. In her new book A Stolen Life, out today, Jaycee goes much more in-depth into these drug-induced and terrifying moments of her captivity.
“The ‘runs’ were some of the most horrible moments of my life,” Jaycee writes in the book. “I can’t think of a good moment even when a ‘run’ was over. I always knew there’d be a next time. I could see no end in sight.”
Jaycee describes the moments vividly, saying Phillip would make her wear makeup and dress her in “tight clothes,” which had “holes in weird places.”
“He tells me to lay on the bed in a certain way and then he gets undressed. He has a little bag of white powder. I’m not sure what it is. Maybe that’s the crank he talked about… He asks if I want some and I say no. He says it helps him stay up, he calls it speed or crank.”
Jaycee writes that Phillip told her he had a sex problem and that she was helping to cure him, “so he wouldn’t have to bother anyone else.” She believed him. He told her he would teach her how to be the best “sex slave” ever. Just heartbreaking.
He would tie her up in certain positions “by those eye hooks on the wall” and then lift her legs “with straps in different positions.” She describes one horrendous moment:
“One night he had been working on the position, trying to get it right for hours and realized he needed to go pick up Nancy from the nightshift where she worked a convalescent home. He said he was just going to leave me tied up because it was the perfect position. He was gone for a while. My legs were in such an awkward position, I got leg cramps and the straps hurt my ankles. I was relieved when he got back, I wanted to get it over with so I could be done and go to bed.”
Can you imagine anything worse than what Jaycee lived through, HollyMoms? It’s hard to believe that someone who faced terrifying experiences like these turned out to be such an amazing and strong woman.

Sad to say, circumstances like what these women have gone through are nothing new. Do research into the works of an author named John Norman. He wrote an extensive series of books most commonly called the “Gor” books. a “fantasy” series.The books were wrote in the early seventies.
Sadly, it is not a fantasy for many women. Do a google search on “gor” and “gorean society”. If you are easily triggered by reading or hearing about the torture, mutilation, abuse and murder of women and children, do not read. Just take my word for it. There are thousands of men across the world who have decided this “fantasy” series is what they want thier real life to be. They take women by force, keep them captive, do things to them you can not even imagine. If the woman has a child and it is a boy, it is raised to believe in the “Gorean” lifestyle, a lifestyle where something so simple as having a lock of hair out of place can get a woman brutally murdered because she has displeased her “owner.” If it is a girl child it is raised as a sex slave and sold off or traded to another member of the “gorean” society.
I have worked as an advocate and mentor for abused women for over half my life, it breaks my heart that I know a girl who is a fifth generation raised and trained “Gorean slave girl.” She is twelve and pregnant and living in a mental institution, because if given the chance, she would run back to that lifestyle, taking her child with her.
The author is aware that thousands of people have adapted his “fantasy world” (and you have to wonder right there, why the hell would someone write over a dozen books about something like this) and he sees nothing wrong with it. He does not ask that his “fans” recognize that this “lifestyle” is not acceptable and to not follow it, nor does he issue an apology to women who have been kidnapped and abused and murdered, nor to thier families. In my opinion, which I know means nothing in today’s society, the man should be tried for every woman who has died or suffered because of his continuing to express the opinion that “this is what all woman want.” That we are lower animals and should be grateful to any man who will put us in our place, that once we put off the notion that we have value, we will know our place is to worship and adore our “masters” for showing us our true place. That is the continuing ongoing theme in every. single. book.
THe author has never been caught living this lifestyle, but it is 100% on his head for encouraging people to accept his sick twisted fantasy as something they should make a reality. I and many others have an overpowering goal of getting him listed as a sex offender, and seeing that he gets a day in court for actively encouraging pedeophiles and rapists to act on thier impulses. He can quote “freedom of speech” all he wants, just because you are free to say does not mean it should be said, much less encouraged.

I will cut them free and lead them to safety, give them knowledge, and teach them freedom. This is what a survivor does. I refuse to be a victim.”-The Vow of the Morrígna Sisterhood-
