As explained by Justin, this piece isn’t actually intended to center on sex (even though that’s how it turned out). Instead, the subject is rather supposed to be love at first sight and more specifically, when a person gets smitten in such a manner, how one particular characteristic of the person they have fallen for sticks in their head.
