i had the realization that because of how i hc cybertronian anatomy, jacking off would just kinda look like...this
(hcs below if youre curious)
ive been trying to iron it out more since port placement and cable placement and the general functions of them will be important for some fics later, but for now this is pretty much the basics. few little extra bullet points tho!
-wrist cables are not very extendable at all, theyre quite short as opposed to the thigh cables, which can extend longer
-a common practice between partners would be to plug in each others cables at the same time, but some people prefer it one at a time or only use their cable/port
-chest and neck do not have cables, only ports. you Can put wrist/thigh cables in those ports, but their original function is for diagnostic scans or downloading medical code patches
-using the neck port early on is considered pretty kinky, chest port might get a brow raise but its not unheard of, and pretending to exchange information with wrist ports while actually interfacing is a whole genre of erotica
-neck port is the only one that gives the cable-user a view into the other mechs processor. they cant do anything with it like a mnemosurgeon could, and its mostly emotions and vague impressions of images, but its still considered incredibly intimate
-for mechs that dont have mouths, there is false insulant fluid available
im pretty sure none of this is super original or anything, but its nice to have a guidline for myself + something to link back to whenever i actually post those fics
