I don't know......I'd have to ask Mrs. Miller's husband......

Do these photos address the "Erection angle (and affect (sic) on sex positions)" that is the focus of this thread?

I've attempted to illustrate (as best I can) the angle before and after my implant (solo) and also both angles in penetration......THESE ARE NOT CUM SHOTS......during the time in which the photos were taken, penis angle was not being studied so the documentation might fall short in this aspect......but it's better than nothing and as we know, "a picture is worth 1000 words"...….I imagine that the pics may be of benefit for those who are on the fence and concerned that they may not be able to perform well enough if their angle changes.....it may inspire hope and confidence in going forward for an implant...….but if you really want to know the benefit of my posted photos, why not ask those who view them?......but this veers away from the posted topic and I know how you feel about anything being even slightly off topic......

This does not belong here......this is a topic for the "English And Grammar Forum" of Franktalk, which I believe is directly below the "Things That People Really Don't Give A Fuck About Forum"....

The Miller test had to do with whether or not something being considered for censorship should be allowed because it had value that overcame the possible damage the subject material could do to society. Study your history. It's easy on the internet.

Now that you have pointed out the benefits you intended to illustrate with your photographs, there should be no objection to leaving them up. My suggestion that you share with us your intentions was intended (by me) to give you the opportunity to support your position. Not criticism of the photographs themselves. (Of course we may disagree on my motives as much as others may disagree with yours.)

We both go "slightly off-topic" on occasion, don't we?

Yes, without the study of history or google, it's quite obvious that The Miller Test is a standard by which appropriate and inappropriate content is determined/measured with regard to censorship (you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows).....I chose to address this stogy premise lightly, with...…(ready for this?)……..HUMOR...…from your response I have come to three possible conclusions: 1. Your sense of humor is either lacking or nonexistent.....2. my humorous quip went right over your head.....3. you do not know who Mrs. Miller is...…(#3 was a joke)

Why would I even need to do this?....or be requested to explain this when it is highly obvious?.....you've been an active member of this group for years....you know what general topics of discussion here are.....you know what this entire site is about......all you have to do is read people's posts and realize their concerns, their fears, their questions, their feelings, their psyche,.....and then put it all together.....and not in terms of mathematical formulas, studies of control groups, data from experiments, or The Miller Test......simply, it's called.....understanding people...….I feel like I'm Dr. McCoy trying to explain the human condition to Mr. Spock...….

The way I remember which word to write (since they basically sound the same when pronounced in a sentence) is this: "Effect" is a noun, like in "special effects." "Affect" is a verb.

Now back to the subject of the hour, erection angle.

Though "Affect" can also be a noun (as anyone who has ever watched "Law & Order" with Vincent D'Onofrio, would know).

Affect (noun): a set of observable manifestations of a subjectively experienced emotion
"… patients … showed perfectly normal reactions and affects …"

Oh well....
