[ExI] Mathematics Risque tale :)

That is, I believe, the point. Literally the entire joke is that you can,
in fact, use extremely technical mathematics vocabulary, traditionally
considered completely clean and literally incapable of impropriety, to
write something weird and rapey.

Double entendres, in general, were funnier when there were still taboos
about what you could say using single entendres.

And rapey-ness was still funny, at least in the sense of having the shock
and unexpected juxtaposition generate an involuntary humor response, when A
) pain [in general] was still a respectable subject for humor, and B ) the
sexuality being alluded to was considered literally unspeakable [in public
at least] by one's social class.

Modern frankness about sexuality, not to mention the modern norm of [at
least displaying in public] significantly expanded circles of empathy, have
completely destroyed entire genres of humor.
