I love this song! It's obviously about gay sex.
I don't believe it's just about any type of sex, because of the examples they use in the song:
"Penetration boys in hotel lifts" - at least two boys and lifts/elevators are not that big to fit a lot of people and penetration speaks for itself.
"Invitations on sinking ships" - could be heterosexual, but the sinking part speaks of desperation, like even heterosexual men would turn to another man for one last moment of pleasure.
"In aircrafts, destroyers"... feels like military places where usually there are only men, especially in the end of the 70's.
"and cinema foyers" - could be heterosexual, but maybe it's like a porn cinema because I don't think people would have sex openly in a regular cinema foyer.
"Gay, wild and willing, stripped of grace" - he even uses the word "gay".
"Fuck like a dog" is doggy style and while it could be heterosexual, together with everything else it suggests a homosexual encounter between two men.
"A nimble mambo in the park" - parks were the obvious place to cruise for gay men in the 70's.
"A lovely sucker in the car park" - could be any gender but I think most women would prefer a safer place to have anonymous sex unless they're paid for it.
"An anal sailor in the bar" - I rest my case.
