XD Epic almost OCD. XD I kinda like to know details like that as well. XD

Not even sure why the idea just hit me and wouldn't go away either. I mean, I know it's vastly over thinking things, But I guess I figured it would be an interesting bit of random trivia to know. Of course, stomach content is likely to be more dense than water I would think, so the bulge would likely be a bit smaller, if not by much. Just not easy finding a good comparison to determine a density value by.

hmm. Could take a steak and find some kind of Acid, about enough to replicate stomach amounts or a little less. XP XD

Waaayy too much effort. Besides, it wouldn't give me a numeric value to plug into the equations.

Can you show your math?

These kind of things, actually, I wish more people would take the time to figure out. I don't want a totally realistic vore process in my stories, but I do want as much of it to be as realistic as possible. I'm still not sure I fully understand how digestion works, I seem to 'relearn' it every few years.

Therefore, thank you for taking the time to figure it out!

Well, I didn't go into the science of how the digestive system works at all, and kept that to a more fantasy level as that was more research than I was inclined to do at the time. I just went with the vore logic of digestion leading to mass liquification before being absorbed into the system, which I know is not quite how real digestion works.

Let's see if I can recreate the steps I took:

First, I used an online conversion calculator to convert pounds to kilograms (I just picked 183 lbs, which converted to about 83kg), since a lot of scientific measurements are metric.

Next, I found the equation for density, P = V/m, and used it to find the value of V (Volume): V = m/P

For ease of conversion, I selected the density of water, as a baseline for the density of something that's been liquefied (digested matter likely has a higher density, but I didn't want to guess too much on a number), which is 1,000 Kg/m³. This gave me the equation: V = 83/1000, which gives me 0.083 cubic meters of volume. In other words, something of a mass of 83Kg with the density of water would take up 0.083 cubic meters of space.

Next, I use this site: http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calcu.....p#.UbvngeflaJs , finding r (the radius), given V (volume), and came up with a radius of .34 meters, or 3.4 decimeters. I figured a hemisphere was the closest shape to a distended stomach that I was going to find a calculation for.

Whether or not your question was rhetorical, did that answer it? I'm pretty sure I did everything right, as it seemed to add up to something that appeared about right to me.

Semi-rhetorical, I was wondering how in depth you went.

That's probably fairly close since water makes up so much of the body, and the rest (complex carbon chains) is more or less of similar density. Thanks for explaining that out :)

I guess you'd need some real super maths to figure out how many inches you would add to a waistline (from fat) :P

Eh, I usually don't go that far in my interests in vore anyway. I tend to prefer soft vore with "behind the curtain digestion" (AKA seeing the stomach go from shaped mass to uniform distended without ever showing what's going on inside), to "perfectly efficient system" (AKA, no weight gain), if digestion is even involved.
