Done Need help with two bubbles :/

[Kasu]

I have two bubbles here where I know the meaning of every single word but have no idea how to put them together to a sentence that makes a real sense.... it's the first two bubbles on this page...

In case the image doesn't work, here's the text:
あのほどよい大きさのシュッと引きしまった　それでいて高い弾力性の感じられる。。。

Context in short: He took a photo of this ass he thinks of as the perfect ass.

 

[cmertb]

Of good size and perfectly firm, and yet appearing highly elastic (or maybe supple, not sure if it can be used to describe an ass though)...

 

[flunko]

Elasticity sounds a little bit creepy.
If you used the word "tight" for the first part then you could use "firm" instead of elastic.
Or, maybe you could use "supple", "yielding", "bouncy"... does that help at all?

 

[Kasu]

hey, yes it helps me, because my biggest problem was the "の感じられる".
Thank you very much

"Tight", the word flunko suggested, is a good word for 引きしまった. The rest, I go with cmertb. I think it is fine to use the word "elastic" since the word is used for pizza and bread dough. I think that it is the same idea. No?

 

[cmertb]

Well, both "tight" and "elastic" do bring up unwanted associations. We're only talking about the butt cheeks here, right? XD So some careful wording is in order, I didn't put much thought into that.

"Supple" sounds more erotic (i.e., creepy). "Elastic" sounds more technical. Judging from the context, I think it could go either way.

 

[cmertb]

Erotic was creepy when the Puritans were in charge. And this is in fact supposed to be erotic. Creepy begins when unwanted associations with anal sex arise from carelessly chosen words.

 

[Kasu]

Thank you all very much =) this really helped me a lot~

I was simply assuming that the manga was Yaoi, but anyway, the original Japanese txt itself shows a very neutral description of the object (=axx). The word 弾力性 is rather technical. So I think the correct translation needs wordings with nonsexual connotation.

Erotic doesn't have to be creepy, but when it's a dude talking about an upskirt photo, it's pretty creepy

Cool. That word seemed pretty formal-sounding, but I wasn't sure.
