Do you happen to have the OG erotic-grope-fest line available anywhere? I'm trying to explain to my friend how this came to be lol she thinks it's just something horny fans made up recently, and I want to prove to her that this isn't anything new lol

Hey there Anon! I sure do have the line. What would this fest be without it? (Not even a twinkle in Baz’s eye.)

From the leavers ball at the end of Carry On:

I’ve become very familiar with his hands. Dating Simon Snow hasn’t been the erotic gropefest I’d always imagined—so far, it’s a lot of sitting in silence and thousand-yard stares—but we do hold hands almost all the time. Snow’s like a child who’s afraid of getting lost in the market.

Please tell your friend that this fest owes its life simply to my inability to resist a good pun. 🤣
