| Fondling  |
| I'd like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to a physical feature of the AT-ST units that often goes unnoticed in photographs due to its placement and the scoutwalkers poise. Of course many beings do get an extremely good look at this feature, but often it is as they are being crushed underfoot as the scoutwalkers pound through their region as the direction of battle twists and turns. I am, of course, referring to the "breast plate" a piece of machinery that serves not only as frontal/lower armour plating but also carries a wide array of sensors to survey the terrain ahead and objects that, although out of view of the main sensors on the Scoutwalker's head, are still in range of its front and side turrets and the crushing, ripping claws housed on its feet. Click here to zoom in on the breast plate that is being stimulated in this image, and here for another perspective on it. Fondling is the most obvious method of foreplay because it provides the fastest and most direct method of arousal, if not ultimately providing the greatest rewards. It also gives you the best chance to fully explore your mates body and indicate what gives each other pleasure before sex. Fondling is best performed in conjunction with some or all the other forms of foreplay listed in this chapter; sometimes necessarily, but most often because slower and less immediate forms of stimulation and arousal will result in better, more intense and more fulfilling sex when you actually copulate. Fondling can be performed with just about any motor-controlled appendage (turrets, legs, etc) or the full body in it's entirety - it's all skin-on-skin contact after all. But the more finely controlled appendages can be used for tweaking, stroking, massaging and general fiddling-around-with parts of your partners bodywork. This normally involves slowly stripping your partner of shielding, armour, holography and - if you're forward-thinking - the chance to gently disengage their leg-stirrups if you're planning on performing some of the more complex positions outlined in our next chapters. |
