You're right, that might have been part of the appeal!
I'm now thinking of Formela, the dancer that Wilhelmine says was actually Fritz's first (iirc, he and Orzelska didn't consummate until her visit to Berlin), and Voltaire's comment that what Fritz liked about Barbarina was her muscular legs. Perhaps the same was true of Formela! #QuestioningGayBoy
