Inspired by the memoir "The Mistress Contract" by She and He
For 30 years he has provided her with a home and an income, while
she provides 'mistress services' - 'All sexual acts as requested,
with suspension of historical, emotional, psychological
disclaimers.'
They first met at university and then lost touch. When they met
again twenty years later, they began an affair when She - a highly
educated, intelligent woman with a history of involvement in the
feminist movement - asked her wealthy lover to sign the remarkable
document that outlines their unconventional lifestyle: The Mistress
Contract. Was her suggestion a betrayal of all that she and the
women of her generation had fought for? Or was it brave, honest,
and radical? Then -- on a small recorder that fit in her purse --
this extraordinary couple began to tape their conversations about
their relationship, conversations that took place while travelling,
over dinner at home and in restaurants, on the phone, even in bed.
Based on reams of tape recordings made over their 30 year
relationship, "The Mistress Contract" is a remarkable document of
this unconventional couple, and the contract that kept them bound
together to this day.
