In the Simon series, Jack Elliott, who had once had quite a rampant sex life before his procedure, tried to make up for being made impotent and sterile (in which condition he'd been dumped by his girlfriend) by narrating progressively filthy anecdotes about Vicars "doing it" the rear-entry way, with choirboys, of whom Jack himself had been one.

As a parallel, little Bobby in "Mistaken Paternity" finds himself ready to pitch into anything, doing "oral" on his foster-parents' daughter, or presenting his buttocks to his parish priest.
