No - your interpretation of his statement is incorrect. Dean said that the procedure is that the hand contacts the epidermal layer over the pubic bone. But what does that mean?

I will not link to the wikipedia article for vulva, because the photos are not safe for work. But here is a quote: "The soft mound at the front of the vulva is formed by fatty tissue covering the pubic bone, and is called the mons pubis." Here is a youtube video that is relatively safe for work - an anatomy teacher pointing and naming things on a plastic model.

For males, it is a little different: this similar youtube video is relatively safe for work. There isn't really an epidermal layer over the pubic bone, rather the testes are nestled there and then covered with a scrotum. So traveling up the gracilis until one contacts epidermis covering the pubic bone can only mean touching the scrotum.

HSVTSO Dean stated that the process requires contact with the "epidermis covering the pubic bone", but as the anatomy teacher clearly shows, this would correspond to the "vulva" and "mons pubis" for females or "scrotum" for males.

It reminds me of a friend I had in elementary school that would try to provoke other kids by saying, "Your epidermis is showing!"

<snort> Understatement of the year. I strained my gracilis, and what my chiropractor had to do to release the muscle near the origin was about the closest thing to rape I have ever experienced. Thank goodness she's a woman.
