Kasumi and Akane, on the other hand, were extremely embarrassed, as they were intimately aware that they were trying to teach a well-built male teenager about the facts of life. They were trying to override their embarrassment by treating the discussion as clinically as possible; distancing themselves from the conversation at hand. This made them perfect targets for Nabiki.
"Now, Ranma. For a man and a woman to have a child, they have sex..."
"They also do it at other times, as well, Kasumi."
"As I was saying; men and women each have half of the materials to create a child. Women have eggs and men have sperm..."
"Unless they're fellating at breakfast while eating an omelet."
"Nabiki, you're not helping!" Kasumi turned to Ranma, and commented, "All of the differences in the body between males and females are in some way related to the conception or raising of a child."
Ranma realized here was a chance to learn the reasons behind his curse's differences. "So why do girls elbows bend like that?"
"Elbows?"
"Yeah. Guy’s elbows allow us to almost perfectly straighten the arm, but if too much force is applied against it, force the arm to bend normally. Girl’s arms can bend further until they're slightly reversed. And why do girls legs make up a larger part of the female body's height than guy's legs? Does it have something to do with running after babies?"
Both punching and kicking were affected when Ranma changed form, especially mid air kicking. And while the extra few degrees of range Ranma's female elbows gave him was nice, Ranma worried that the hyper-extended elbow provided a target for someone to break his arm if he weren't careful.
In contrast, breasts he thought he understood. Women had breasts, and men had a penis. That's what made them women and men. But having your elbows change? That was weird. How could he have guessed that the elbows were so important for conceiving a child!
Kasumi and Akane were reacting badly to being flustered and off-balanced. They were reasonably sure that Ranma wasn't doing it to them on purpose; unlike Nabiki, who was enjoying the whole thing immensely. Considering the fact that Nabiki was obviously goading her sisters, Akane's growing anger over her embarrassment was quite justified. Perhaps similar events in the past were responsible for Akane's tendencies to deal with embarrassment through combativeness.
Kasumi, on the other hand, was unable to use anger as a shield from her embarrassment, so she retreated into a more detached, pedagogical role. This defense would only work so far, beyond which, something else would have to be tried. "I don't know about the reasons for the differences in the limbs. I was thinking about the rest of the body."
"He does have a nice one, doesn't he, sis."
Kasumi reached over, and held Nabiki's wrist, in a grip that became like iron, trapping one of Nabiki's arms. "We'll discuss this in parts. Ranma, take a good look at Nabiki's breasts." Kasumi had gone on attack, combining revenge on Nabiki with the pedagogical need for a demonstration dummy. "After someone eventually knocks her up, her breasts will grow in size to become even larger."
Nabiki's eyes were now fixed on Ranma's eyes, while his were now wide open and focused on her breasts. Kasumi kept Nabiki from instinctively using her arms from covering her chest. "This is because the breasts will provide milk for the infant. In order to make sure the mother is willing to provide the child, Nabiki's breasts are very sensitive even now. The nipples are designed so that the feeling of someone's lips or tongue on them is very pleasurable, and massaging the whole breast causes her to feel really good. That's why women cover up their breasts, and it's forbidden for men to see or touch them without her permission."
"I don't understand."
"It's a weakness someone could exploit. So while Nabiki would enjoy the feeling of you licking and suckling on her nipples, she won't allow you, or anybody else to do it until she trusts you alot more than she does now."
"Oh. Now I get it. So that's why everyone looks at me like I'm a weirdo when I'm female and topless!"
"Now, unless we can get Nabiki to behave, I guess our next step is to speculate, why Nabiki's nipples appear to be hard as pebbles. Female's nipples become engorged like hers, either when the girl is cold, or when sexually aroused. Luckily it's quite warm in here, so let’s talk about the ways in which Nabiki's body reacts when it becomes sexually aroused."
"Eep!"
