The scene opens with a description of a sexual encounter between a "sexless wife" and a "masseur" . The masseur tells the sexless wife that he is going to give her a "massage" and that she should "swallow ba" and "smear drip ba" , which is a fancy way of saying "press twitch ah." The sexless woman is pleased to find that the masseur is "your masseur," and she asks him to take off her clothes and to lie down on the ground.
