The girl sat on the floor and one of the women snapped a little chain to each of the rings on her labia and breasts. What we hadn't noticed was the bands on the girl’s wrists to which the woman snapped two of the chains to her left wrist and two on her right. She nodded to the girl who then moved her arms up and out toward her shoulders. This pulled both her breasts back and at the same time her labia was pulled apart far enough to reveal her vagina. The woman put similar bands on our wrists then pushing them together they locked and like the other four rings to remove them they would have to be cut off.

The woman then removed the chains from the girls arms and pulling her head fastened the wristbands to the ring at the back of her collar then done the same to we four. This forced our breasts out and was very uncomfortable making my sore nipples even more painful. The two women looked at us and spoke together then said you will stay here like this for two more days to heal then you will join the others. Each time one of them brought us food she released our wrists from the collar, put more ointment on our burns and moved the rings saying they must be free to move, the flesh must not heal over them, then fastened us again before leaving.

It was late in the afternoon of the third day before the two women took us to another room where I counted twenty beds. Laying on them wearing red shifts were girls of assorted colours, some black some with lighter skins the others white. There were four empty beds and seeing red shifts on them I knew they would be ours. Our wrists were unlocked and we were told to put on the shifts but talking was not allowed at any time. It was frightening to be in a room with sixteen other women and not hear a sound except the splashing as now and again one of them would get up and use the open toilet by the bath at the end of the room.

In a little while a man entered and all the girls stood removed their shifts and stood with their legs wide apart so we done the same. He felt between the legs of each girl and some formed a line in the middle of the room. I saw Bab’s cringe as he touched her as did Pam and Roberta and when his fingers entered me I knew he was checking for those who were having their periods and when he finished we four joined twelve others and he led us out.

We went to a large hall with a long low table in the middle and marble platforms along each wall. As they passed a platform the girls that had done this before sat on it, Pam, Roberta and me doing the same when we reached ours. There was now eight girls each side of the table and I watched in horror as the first girl removed her shift and lay back so the man could attach the four chains just as we were shown earlier. When it was my turn and the chains were locked to the rings he pulled my arms back to see that my breasts would pull apart and my labia parted wide enough to expose my vagina. After he had gone I saw the others had relaxed so I done the same but a little later when three men came in and went down the opposite side I saw the first girl, who was black, pull her arms up as did the other five when the men passed them.

They didn't come up my side but sat at the table as a long line of men now entered some coming down my side this time and Pam being the first for them to see pulled her arms apart. Two of them stopped in front of Roberta and she cried out as I saw one of them pull her arms further apart while the other pushed his fingers right into her opened vagina. They went back to Pam and done the same to her, and I heard little cries from other girls and knew it was being done to them also. When they approached me I knew from the pain in my nipples and labia I had pulled myself wide open and tears came in my eyes as the fingers of one of them went into my vagina. It was agony as he moved the rings on my inner labia trying to see how much more he could open me. When he finished pinching my clit he forced fingers into my vagina and spread me apart. When the men finished with us they went around to the other side allowing those from that side to come and examine us.
