I don't think the song's about oral sex either. But I don't know the band at all. I just heard the song recently. Here are my thoughts on it:
Listen to the girl. As she takes on half the world...
Clearly (to me) every other stanza in the song quotes the words of the girl, speaking to the other (male) half of the world.
She's agreeing to leave her natural sweetness behind (her honey-dripping behive, her life) to go back into the world (or maybe just back to one guy) and the demands it/he places on her. Sexual, emotional, whatever.
"I'll be your plastic toy" - She's offering a plastic (lesser, more fake) version of herself because that's what's wanted from her.
And as she eats all the shit thrown at her by the world/her guy she keeps telling herself "just like honey" - an act of willpower that allows her to continue doing it.
In other words, I think the song's written from a feminine point of view. Interesting.
Honestly, after all these years this song still brings one particular person to mind for me... Ronnie Spector. All the elements of the song, the beat. Her story (what I know of it). Etc.
