Knowing the area above the corpse's groin would be "messy with incisions," she appreciates his legs as "muscular and hard as a rock, although rigor mortis was probably more responsible than exercise." Much to her delight, "the penis [was] still intact."

These films are also...
...cybernetic offspring. Even when the program is weighted 50-50, if an African man has more hair than a Vietnamese woman, his hair will dominate; the same thing applies to larger lips or a jutting jaw. One of our tentative unions produced a distinctly feminine face -- sitting atop a muscular neck and hairy chest. Back to the mouse on that...
