Main narrative

Entry 2: Processing

The subject Aiden was acquired and brought aboard the research ship "Azeater".

The initial decontamination process was completed without incident and the subject was transfered to the testing station.

Bioscans reveal that although he remains hairless from his nose down, this in not his natural state. Rather he regularly depilates his body. Further scans reveal that this is a core part of his personal desires, meaning he would be unhappy if any body hair should regrow. An administrative decision is made to permanently remove all hair bellow his neck, plus his sub-ocular barbage (known to his species as a 'beard').

A further administrative decision was made to use a depilation cream, similar to what humans already have, but much more effective. This would have the benefit of not shocking the body through the use of more advanced, but unfamiliar technology.

The cream was administered manually so that I can perform a quick physical check. Some interesting observations were made during the procedure.

The subject seemed to respond very well to facial touches, signally approval even while ****. Caressing the cheeks and tracing the edges of the lips produce the most consistent results. Coupled with a low-volume auditory prompt of repeating the subject's name 'Aiden' near his ear, produced the pleasant effect of having several facial muscles contract to create a 'smile'. This is considered a positive and desirable response among humans.

Note 3: For a fuller exploration of 'smiling' among human males, see Side Entry 3: First Positive Interaction.

It was necessary to smear the whole of the subject's body with depilation cream since genetic analysis had shown that he was predisposed to being highly hirsuite. There is no indication that condition is in any way detrimental to human well-being, with many gay males positively relishing it. However, as mentioned earlier, the subject is averse to his own hirsuite-ness, thus it is to be removed in total.

An interesting dichotomy was observed while creaming the subject - his body could be classified into two regions, the first causes relaxation when rubbed, while the second results in tension. The first region extends across the entirety of his back, shoulders, arms, and legs (excluding the high inner thigh), and the second comprises the rest of the torso, particularly the genitals and the buttocks.

Rubbing the first region caused the subject to lower his breathing rate and smile. I was particularly pleased with the results of squeezing his shoulders and feet - a technique known to, and much loved by, humans, which they call a 'massage'.

Note 4: To understand the mechanics of a massage, see side note 2: non-sexual caresses - warranted and unwarranted.

However, it was the second region which proved most interesting. There are three main locations on the subject's body which produce fascinating results upon being touched and each one requires a sub-entry to properly understand. These three locations are:

1. Nipples

2. Buttocks

3. Genitals
