Columbia asks Magenta "You mean she only ever kissed?" This is a question about Janet, not a man. Dubious, though.

Columbia tells Magenta to take undressing Janet and Brad "Slowly. It's too nice a job to rush."

Still dubious due to the fact that Riff-Raff was helping Magenta, so it may have been at the both of them.

I like this film, but agree it's slightly dubious. It's a musical, so does singing count?

If so, Magenta and Columbia have their own verses during the "Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch Me" song. They don't sing about a man, rather their (casual) attraction to each other.
