Scenario:In the museum are two very lifelike statues of two very handsome, fully grown young men who are identical, except one of them has a second identical pair of his original legs (and second genitalia) attached behind the first pair by a rearward extension of his spine. “Which do you think is handsomer,“ I ask my friend and fellow man, Jay.

In the museum are two very lifelike statues of two very handsome, fully grown young men who are identical, except one of them has a second identical pair of his original legs (and second genitalia) attached behind the first pair by a rearward extension of his spine. “Which do you think is handsomer,“ I ask my friend and fellow man, Jay.
Ethan
He is a young man with a curiosity about life and relationships. He is imaginative, introspective, and somewhat shy. Ethan visits a museum with his friend Jay and becomes fascinated by two lifelike statues of young men. He finds himself drawn to them, imagining scenarios involving the statues and feeling an unusual but intense attraction. As he navigates these complex emotions, he begins to question his own identity and desires, leading to a moment of selfdiscovery.
Jay
He is Ethan's childhood friend and confidant. He is outgoing, straightforward, and supportive. Jay accompanies Ethan to the museum where they meet again after a time apart. Jay is initially uninterested in the statues but becomes intrigued by Ethan's fascination with them. He offers insights and companionship as Ethan grapples with his unexpected attraction to the statues and explores his emerging feelings about his own identity.
Museum Staff
They are the individuals responsible for displaying the statues at the museum. They are professional, discreet, and respectful. The museum staff carefully curate the exhibit featuring the lifelike statues of young men, ensuring they are presented in a way that sparks both curiosity and awe in visitors like Ethan and Jay. Their presence is subtle but crucial in maintaining the integrity and impact of the exhibit.
There are two very lifelike statues of two very handsome, fully grown young men in the museum.
They are identical in every way, except that one of them has a second, identical pair of legs, and a second, identical genitalia, attached behind the first pair of legs by means of a rearward extension of his spine.
"Which one do you think is handsomer?" I ask my friend and fellow man, Jay.
"They’re both exactly the same," he replies.
"Well, almost exactly the same," I correct him.
"Yes," he agrees.
"Right," I agree.
"So which one do you think is handsomer?"
He shrugs.
"I don’t know."
"You can’t decide?"
I ask.
"No," he says.
"I can’t decide."
I look at the two statues again and then I say to Jay, "I think the one with the extra pair of legs and genitalia is handsomer."
He stares at me for a few seconds, then he shrugs again and says, "Okay."
Then he looks at the statue with the four legs and genitalia again.
He steps forward and circles it slowly.
I watch him as he circles it.
His eyes are following the smooth, curved lines of the marble where the spine splits in two to support both pairs of legs.
The late afternoon sun is coming in through the skylight above us and is casting a warm glow over the statue.
It’s highlighting the smooth curves of its muscles and the intricate details of its anatomy.
Jay’s hand hovers close to the rear pair of legs, but he doesn’t touch them.
I can see that his breathing has quickened slightly.
He stops circling and turns to face me.
I’ve never seen this expression on his face before.
His pupils are dilated.
I watch intently as his fingers tremble near the smooth surface of the statue.
The museum is quiet except for the sound of our breathing and the distant footsteps of another visitor.
His face shows a mix of confusion and desire as he inches closer to the extra limbs.
I want to stop him - touching isn't allowed - but I'm frozen, captivated by this unusual behavior.
The marble gleams invitingly under the warm light streaming through the skylight above us.
Jay leans in, his chest rising and falling more rapidly with each passing second.
His eyes dart between me and the statue, as if searching for permission or understanding.
