There are several fanfics out there that deal with a smitten Bashir trying to research stuff about both Cardassian courting and sexual practices, and running into that famous Cardassian obfuscation/secrecy. Like, there’s probably is Cardassian porn out there, it’s just…really hard for him to get a hold of, y’know? And I love those stories, they are hilarious. But has anyone considered Garak trying to research human sexuality and running into an…opposite problem?
Like, instead of there being an absence of information, there’s just…so damn much that it becomes impossible to sort it out and make any kind of sense of it. After all, surely ALL of these can’t be common human sexual practices. Right? Right???
