little mechanically, I thought. But then I, ah, got more interested in the general effect, and she didn’t seem so awkward anymore.
    “And 3D.” Ishi prompted.
    “Check.” Zak’s fingers talked to the central computer some more and the woman changed from a flat image to one with perspective. Fully rounded, yeah. She had a special luxuriant look about her that…well, bigger and better than life, is the way to put it, I guess. She was certainly better than anything I’d ever seen in the Can. It suddenly struck me that the images of women I’d been seeing on 3D for years were always more spectacular than the women and girls I saw in everyday life. False advertising, sort of.
    “Zak, you’ve got a good thing here,” I said. “You’ve surpassed yourself.”
    Ishi grinned broadly. “Matt, you lack imagination.”
    Zak typed in for a routine he’d obviously set up beforehand. “I call her Rebecca.” he said mildly.
    Rebecca began to dance. She was good. She jiggled in all the right places and I followed her movements intently. It was hard to believe a program designed to test out how machines would function, before they were ever built, could do this. Zak had taken Rebecca off some 3D show and fed her specs into the programming, and here she was, sexy as hell.
    Then a man walked on stage.
    He was naked. And he was visibly interested in Rebecca. Very visibly.
    Zak snickered when he saw the expression on my face. “Here we go, boys.”
    Zak had imagination, that was for sure. He’d named the guy Isaac. Isaac was big and burly and had been around the world. Rebecca was entranced by him. Anything Isaac wanted, he got. They did it in the regular old Missionary Position, and then in a chair, and then standing up. We three sat there and watched. Nobody said anything, even though I knew this wasn’t new to Zak or Ishi. They were still too interested, though, to make any wise-cracks. Some things you don’t get tired of so fast, I guess. And me…well, for me a lot of it was new. Sure. I’d seen the manuals, and gone to the Becoming An Adult 3D courses they imported from Earth, and all that stuff. But to see it…that was something else.
    “What’ll you have next, gents?” Zak asked. Isaac and Rebecca were still going at it in the middle of the screen. Each of them was staring at the other with fixed smiles. I wondered if it was the mechanical programming or whether people were really like that when they, well. Did It. I had no way of knowing, of course. “Uh…” I began, and stopped. I knew my face was turning red again, but there didn’t seem to be anything to do about it. Rebecca and Isaac went on with their relentless energy. I knew there was a certain rhythm you were supposed to hit; the books all talked about it that way. The books had spoken about techniques and methods…
    “Geez, Matt,” Zak said, “you look like you’re doing your homework.”
    Ishi chuckled. I realized I’d been dodging the whole thing by concentrating on the technical points. “Well, maybe that’s the way I am,” I growled.
    “C’mon. relax,” Zak said. He tapped his console. Rebecca and Isaac jerked and moved. They got into a new position. Then they were at it again. Bam, bam, bam.
    “Kind of repetitious, isn’t it?” I murmured.
    “You should’ve been here, a couple of hours ago,” Ishi said. “Ol’ Zak here had them going at it like rabbits. Double the speed, Zak.”
    He did. We all burst out laughing.
    “Not a very dignified act, is it?” I commented.
    “Dignified, schmignified,” Zak said. “It’s the real stuff.”
    “No, it’s just a sim.”
    “I didn’t notice you falling asleep.”
    “Okay, okay, it’s pretty good, in fact, damned good.”
    Ishi asked idly. “I wonder if that’s what those porno movies are like?”
    Zak nodded. “That’s what gave me the idea.”
    “To duplicate pornos?”
    “Sure. Commander Aarons isn’t going to let that kind of thing come in over the 3D tightbeam. But
