Lyric discussion by rjupiter 

It is amazing how on idiot says something and the rest of the idiots pick up on and before you know you have a pseudo-fact.

It is obvious that no one here has actually seen/heard the REPEATED interviews by Dave Fenton (the guy wrote the song) about what the song means and it is NOT about masturbation.

If fact Fenton made up the term one day when he woke from a dream and thought it would be good in a song. The song was and is about love nothing more.

Term itself did not get used as a euphemism for masturbation until AFTER the song was released and well some idiot came up with the notion and said it was a fact.

If you don't believe me, and I know you don't here it from Fenton's own lips -
