I've posted previously that this is probably about gay culture. Disco and someone's comment that the fez was gay slang for condom.
Captain Obvious has to point out that Fagen's irony is in the line "I want to be your holy man".
Religious views against condoms/masturbation are derived from an Old Testament reading where someone was supposed to impregnate his brother's wife after he died (as was the custom) but he pulled out and "wasted his seed".
So basically Fagen is doing what he does best, besides his musical songwriting abilities.
