Loves and stratagems

I’ll leave y'all to do with these quotes what you will.

Here’s a thing I thought of instead of writing a fic: Julian’s got a new Bond holoprogramme set about 2019 and he invites Garak. 

And he’s been teaching Garak about the Bond double entendres like Pussy Galore etc.

And there’s a Wetherspoons in the programme.

And Garak’s like, ‘hahaha, Doctor, I get it, wet her spoon. Very clever. But actually it doesn’t work like that.’

And he’s very appreciative that Julian tried to make a Cardassian innuendo.

But actually it’s just a Wetherspoons.

Ok, but what do you think Cardassians swim in? Do they swim with their regular clothes on or do they

because showing shoulders=slutty?

I picture them in 1800s-type men’s style bathing suits, but the first option opens up so many new possibilities! Maybe that’s like the speedo of swimsuits - slutty but technically socially acceptable.

if they keep all their bits and bobs tucked up and away do they actually need swim suits

I think it really depends on the context.

I was thinking in terms of public beaches. Considering what we see of Cardassian clothing, it seems to be the norm to cover up. Swimwear isn’t just about keeping your junk from being on display, of course, and other parts of the body might also be seen as inappropriate to show off, the most obvious being the chula. 

That being said, I think that within families, nudity is not taboo, even between grown-up siblings and cousins etc. If you’re going for a swim with your extended family somewhere there’s no one else, swimming nude might well be way to do it.
