Ever since Netflix first announced that it was creating a Witcher series, one perverted question has lurked in the minds of fans everywhere: How sexy will it be? It now looks like the answer to that question will be VERY because yep, the show will have that bathtub scene.

Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels about Geralt of Rivia are beloved for many things: their compelling depiction of one conflicted man’s humanity; awesome battle scenes; incredible spell-casting and world building. But they’re also known for their steamier scenes, especially when it comes to Geralt’s relationship with his on-again, off-again lover Yennefer. The award-winning game based off this franchise, Witcher III: Wild Hunt, took that steaminess and amped it up to 11, featuring several sex scenes that were part of the game’s main narrative. Basically, Geralt’s story is adult through and through. And though The Witcher’s showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has made it very clear that Netflix’s Witcher will be based on the original books by Sapkowski and not the video game, she’s not going to leave fans hanging.

During a roundtable interview at San Diego Comic-Con, Hissrich confirmed that there would be one iconic sexy scene. “There is a bathtub this season. There is a bathtub,” Hissrich told io9. “I won’t tell you who’s in the bathtub, but there is a bathtub.”

Early in Witcher III Geralt enjoys a relaxing soak in the tub as he talks to Yennefer. Not only is it a deeply sexually charged moment as the camera focuses on Geralt’s glistening muscles and those barely there bubbles, but it’s also an intimate one. It’s rare to see Geralt let his guard down, but he’s willing to do that around Yennefer. Plus that rubber ducky is dope.

The bathtub scene became so iconic it became both a meme and a statue. That’s right: Naked lounging Geralt can be your paperweight at the office.

However there’s another steamy scene hiding in The Witcher‘s teaser trailer. Around the 1:28 mark a masked Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) checks out Geralt (Henry Cavill) while they’re all surrounded by naked people. According to eagle-eyed fans on Reddit, that’s likely a reference to Belleteyn. It was during this fertility festival that Geralt and Yennefer met in the book Sword of Destiny.

Considering we’re months away from The Witcher‘s premiere and we already know about these two sexually-charged scenes, the chances of us seeing Henry Cavill’s butt are high. Can they let us know, when does The Witcher air on Netflix already??? We need to see the unicorn sex!
