"Eventually Nicole refined her experiment enough, thanks to Tom's help. Then she was able to seek approval from the ESU internal review board for human subject research. However, they rejected her plan, because it required the male participants to put on the hardness meter. And if the subjects had questions about proper adjustment of the hardness meter, they couldn't exactly ask Nicole for help... So Nicole talked to Tom about it, saying:"
"'Can you help me? They say that meter you designed might be too hard for the subjects to use, and I'm not allowed to touch their cocks, if they have problems putting it on...'"
"Tom was always very turned on and desperate around Nicole; so it took him a while to focus on her problem. But doing a favor for her was more than enough for him, and he quickly he agreed to try to think of a better way to measure male sexual arousal that would pass the review board."
