I for one refuse to even think that the magical movement of breasts can in any way be simulated with a computer program. Some things should be left alone…or at least in nice couplings…have you ever studied coupled motion in physics? ---

Speaking of jiggle, is that how Beyonce Knowles got her name? **beyonce ( . )( . ) beyonce ( \* )( \* ) … beyonce ( . )( . ) beyonce ( \* )( \* )** ---

Does this have anything to do with the release of Outlaw Volleyball by chance? I think we need “big” improvements in breast modeling technology because I’m not impressed by the physics in either Outlaw Volleyball or Dead or Alive BV. It’s time to start taping pingpong balls to them and get some real life motion capture. ---

As such, the blood is flowing at it’s regular flow-pace and it can take a while to get an full erection. Therefore there are a whole set of stages (and movements) involved in going from completely limp to completely erect. I recommend watching a penis become erect some time (well, being a guy, I recommend this all the time). You’ll see that it pulses with the blood flowing into it, and that it will often shift to one side as it swings to full erection. Rarely will a penis that is limp and hanging directly down jerk directly upwards like a forearm swinging from the elbow. Once erect it will also pulse. Now to the complexity of the shape and direction of the erect penis. An erect penis will likely be pointed off at some slight angle (and for some, some crazy angle). Depending on turned-on-ness and age and the individual, it can be pointed anywhere from slapping against the lower abdomen to slightly lower than perpendicular to the body. This will also depend on the location and structure of the surrounding tisue, including the scrotum and the placement of the testicles (which are almost always uneven, with one hanging lower than the other). Adding to this complexity is the ability of men to ‘flex’ their penis, which can make it jump around, and the head to swell with blood (and therefore the tip becomes heavier and may dip lower). Anyway, it’s definitely not and on-off switch. ---

**schizmaticism** , that is way too much penis talk for one day. Let’s not forget this is a boob thread and we’re all appreciating their real and virtual beauty. Even if that is what happens when that appreciation takes place, we don’t need to hear about it in that much detail. ---
