Yep. Strong lesbian implications, but no explicit sex. Frenesi would
probably be open to it, and DL is almost a stereotypical "butch" (but also
"lipstick") lesbian. As we know, fetishes are a big thing in Pynchon's
writing (not a "good" thing), so it's a pretty big deal that DL becomes,
literally, a Frenesi-fetish intended for Brock.
