The first movement of Beethoven's 3rd Symphony erotic/imitative of
male sexual response?

Heck, ALL the Viennese/Classical symphonies sound like that!  What
could be more reminiscient of orgasm than a finale of a Beethoven
symphony?

Of course, this is to our modern tastes, after the advent of
Fruedianism, where we expect to find subliminal erotica in
everything (whether it is there or not ... ?).
