I hadn't thought of it, Este, but you're right. The print is full of fruits amid the oranges symbolic of sex organs; plump, ovoid testicles and pouting, succulent vulvas.
I will talk about the "fruit" notion in the next post, since after thinking about the various styles of male genital display, they really do suggest different aspects of maleness, apart from explicit sexuality (imo).
I'm glad you are perked up! I thing The Height and Length of Fashion has some hysterical, droll sections. I can't say I care for any of the sex scenes, even for laughs, since they portray characters I care for in ways I find unappealing (too graphic to be funny, and too little like love-making to be erotic), but all the farcical stuff about manners and fashion and the subsequent preening and/or embarrassment cracked me up.
