I think the song can be seen in two ways. I'd say it is really not about sex but rather growing up and leaving home.
"so that i don't forget how to sit like a child on my mothers knee
how dare that child be me "
is relating to childhood, etc.
"and trot trot to lynn
and trot all the way home again
but don't let me fall in "
is about leaving home and living life.
the chorus "slipping through your legs" is just about childhood slipping away.
the "race me up the loft" verse also relates to childhood memories.
If you want to interpret it about sex/relationships you can see that it might be about a guy who is afraid of falling in love.
"trot trot to boston....don't let me fall in" could relate to a long distance relationship (one where he must travel to these different places to see her) and "don't let me fall in" could mean 'in love'
this notion is reiterated in "let you be an arms length away so you can wake me and tell me of the day"
