Leon Neyfakh: “Chuck Shelton, the editor of the publishing trade publication Kirkus, came over to the table to say hello to Mr. Karp. Mr. Shelton greeted Mr. Hitchens, whom he said he knew from cocktail parties. Shortly thereafter, according to Mr. Shelton, he was inexplicably touching Mr. Hitchens’ penis and rubbing his balls.”
Whether Mr. Shelton paid for the privilege is unknown. I can only presume that this was merely an unprofessional gesture.

Yakno, i have a suspicion that he was merely appraising the Hitch’s newly waxed nethers. The bloviating one has been writing about that in VF, etc.
