You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

Because you keep getting flustered! You were all prim and polite and everything!!! You wouldn't even take Steve to coffee or dance with Joaquin and now you're like 'Newton, let's test your resolve under duress,' which certainly SOUNDS kinky, like idk maybe some sort of bondage or dom/sub commanding kind of thing --I don't know, it was vague, but. Holy shit. I did not peg you as a Christian Grey but FUCK. Do I need a safeword? What are we actually talking about here, Mr. Not Suggesting Anything Extreme?

[mathemagier]

First of all, you have no social graces, so I don't expect you to understand any of my reasoning. Second, please never make that comparison ever again if you enjoy sex at all. Finally, I was only intending a simple test of finding out how long you could go untouched before you broke.

[driftsintobuffetline]

First of all, I do so. And never tell me I would not understand your reasoning. I am your equal and fuck you. Second, you mean Grey right? Consider the fifty shades references dropped. Finally, god, Hermann, the noise I just made. I'm hard just thinking about it.

[mathemagier]

Then I will explain it to you in detail later. There are more pressing matters to attend to.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Hell, you're a multitasker. Explain and, uh, attend to these pressing matters before I do

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING

[mathemagier]

Yes, but then you wouldn't be paying attention.

IDK THEY ARE FIGURING OUT THIS BF THING I GUESS (and testing Newt's resolve under duress)

[driftsintobuffetline]

When am I ever?

[mathemagier]

Well if nothing else, I can't have you ruining my experiment.

[driftsintobuffetline]

just gives you incentive to run it again.

[mathemagier]

Well of course. How else would I be sure of the data's accuracy?

[driftsintobuffetline]

what's going to serve as your control group? Come on. Talk dirty science to me.

[mathemagier]

[Experiment may be ruined already]

Well if we assume a verbal plea is capitulation, we can run a series of tests- using ourselves as subjects, of course and both with and without direct contact.

Given the drift's influence and the nature of the experiment itself, we'll only be able to accurately catalogue results from one test at a time. I expect the tests to span a week for best results.

[Newt's in ur lab, ruining ur experiments]

What else counts as surrender, other than touching myself, begging you to touch me, or actually being touched? We'd better outline the methods and limits of our study before it gets too far underway.

I'm a little insulted you think it's only going to take a week of study, but then I'm hoping you mean we don't do much else BUT intensely and rigorously test our hypotheses all week, and I could totally live with that. We'll have more experiments to run anyway.

I guess we DO have Christmas plans after all.

[mathemagier]

I was estimating an average of two tests a day, for reference. We'd need to perform four tests for a full data set, and over the course of six days, we'd have three complete sets of data.

Then we could take data from the experimental pair of tests on the seventh day and compare them to our previous data sets for an accurate conclusion.

Assuming of course, each test is performed correctly.

There would be a rule against touching yourself, though without restraints that won't be enforced too strictly, so that would also count as surrender. Absolutely no genital stimulation would be allowed until surrender. Any accidental stimulation could skew our data.
