whatever his or her sex or age (parents, educators, "bosses' and such...) may, if he desires (although this happens rarely), order the individual to undress, and it is precisely the relative infrequency of this that causes the greatest reaction of shame when it does take place (see Note 35). When the superior (overordnet)belongs to the other sex, or his or her age is lower, such punishment constitutes a humiliating affront hardly comprehensible to men of Earth. The woman always covers her thorax(bryst). Thighs, arms, head, throat, hands, feet, and lips are not erogenous areas to us, so the "kiss" has no significance. Generators of sexual pleasure in the highest degree are sexual organs, breasts, belly, buttocks (rumpe)and back. When we must submit to any process that you would call surgical (kirurgi) - in cases of trauma affecting any bodily area - the epidermis is covered with UBAA SIAA, a pigment that colors the skin with polychromatic blotches. One of the serious "penalties" (straff) provided for in the UAA (laws) of UMM6O consists precisely in publicly depriving (frata) the infractor of his clothes and exposing him in a transparent temperature controlled chamber. This still applicable sanction is now no longer employed, but it was relatively We inhabitants of UMMO have a body whose physiological form is very much like that of "homo Sapiens" of Earth. This is logical if you consider that biogenetic laws are valid for the entire universe and that when the environment is analogous, the biological structure undergoes few variations. Therefore we are not people you would call "monsters". Only a few slight anatomical differences distinguish us from you. In many of our brothers the speech organs are hypertrophied and we replace this sclerosis (forkalkning) by artificial means of verbal expression. Our race is older than yours and so has reached a higher level of civilization. Our social structure is different. We are governed by four members chosen through psychophysiological evaluations, Our laws are regulated according to constant sociometric measurements over time. Accordingly our economic system is different. We know nothing of money in view of the fact that the transactions in the few goods of value existing on UMM6O take place through a network of what you would call electronic brains. Goods of normal consumption hardly have a value because their abundant production greatly exceeds the demand. Our society is profoundly religious. We believe in a Creator (WOA) or God and we have scientific arguments in favor of the existence of factor that you would call the soul. We recognize a third factor thaw unites it to the body and 42 frequent during epochs not far in the past.
