Couch guys, or Paintings 1-3: a precursor slash introduction to one on one activity. A self-help analysis (or how-to-bloom in the realm of sexual undertakings.)

Questions come about: What do I do with this body, how do I use it for my own doings and/or the doings of another? Limited explanation is provided, and left up for all to read between the lines (and walls.) Do this if you want that, do this if you’re after that.

An unheard voice keeps the scene instructional, i.e., get on couch, remove clothing, keep smile constant. …Later, fraternize. Subjects do so willingly, appearing unscathed by an orders-driven ball game.

Full nudity will happen immediately; the in-charge needs prompt view of any current defects, and all operable. Show us your teeth, now chest, now calves, belly, small of your back, arse, peter, etc. Subject – you, him, whatever – will be placed next to another guy to be sized up, to see how you work together. Is there any general rapport, any underlying chemistry…?
