Wait a minute.  You're right, it covers a lot of territory.  But to
assume that "enjoying the sight" means "wanking it" or anything close
sounds extreme.  When I think of a person enjoying a sight, I envision them
smiling.  If you assume something rude was going on from the description,
I'd say you were making a pretty extreme assumption.  Why would you 
assume that?
