The song is about a young boy losing his virginity to an adult man. I don't know how it could be any more clear that he's talking about a homosexual relationship taking place between a man and a boy coming to terms with his sexuality. "reel around the fountain," "slap me on the patio, I'll take it now" or "slowly" he says too..."you can pin and mount me like a butterfly!!!" C'mon people... "two lumps please," refers to both having male genitals, you know... each with a lump in the crotch. "you're the bees knees, but so am I"... It's a justification, like since we're both the bees knees we should partake in eachother erotically. Most of you posting that it's referring to a heterosexual relationship are either too dense to see what it is really about or you're in denial.
some listeners are afraid that if Morrissey is gay, then the fact they really like the Smiths somehow casts doubt on their own sexual orientation. a particular problem in this case because--despite the homoerotic elements in many songs--Morrissey skillfully writes songs with which almost anyone could identify.

most of the music I like was created by straight people; this hasn't made me heterosexual.

they shouldn't worry. but the stigma looms large...more so for straight people (especially men), afraid of giving the wrong impression.

hence we see a lot of angry denials.
