That is seriously the title of a marriage contract drawn up by 33 year-old Travis Frey of Iowa. Frey is facing charges of kidnapping his own wife and a separate child pornography charge.
The contract (which is 4 pages) is so out there, so scary, I can’t even think of anything snarky to say about it. Just check it out for yourself.
An out of context fact, so you know what you’re getting into: Unexpected anal sex will get Frey’s wife 14 Good Behavior Days.
And not wanting to be a sloppy, disorganized psychotic, Frey spices up the contract with fancy fonts:
Consider yourself prepared.

I read through that list and thought that the Story of O never sounded so creepy.
I like how the "A" in "Other Sex Acts" appears to involve an animal of some kind. The only way this contract could be made worse?
These kind of sick and bizarre requirements (although generally unwritten) are very common expectations for women living with a batterer.
Most women who have been involved with a batterer talk about similar "requirements", and "rewards & punishments" systems inflicted on them. It could be sexual, housework-related, or other demands. Sometimes being complicit in or commiting a crime is required; which is one reason some women can't leave their abusers: he then threatens to expose their "crimes".
While it's truly unusual to see them actually written up, the expectations themselves are unfortunately the kind of cruelty that battered women often live with on a regular basis.
Was someone dumb enough to sign this thing?
