Headcanon that all great works of Cardassian literature have incredibly explicit and graphic sex scenes that Garak neglects to mention to Julian, and Bashir is LOSING HIS MIND over it and has so many questions but he’s too awkward to bring it up at lunch
Alternately, the sex scenes are considered explicit by Cardassian standards but are described too abstractly/poetically for Bashir to understand what he’s reading and therefore he brings them up all the time. Garak finds it too charming (and arousing) to correct him.
