Playing on the sexual innuendo of a paper on bat fellatio doesn't need to mean he was hitting on her. More likely it was a subtle form of sexual harassment.
I thought most of the time sexual harassment happened because the aggressor basically wants the victim to sexually submit (i.e. have sex). It might not lead to a more direct, "have sex with me if you want to get promoted," but I see little point in harassment for the sake of harassment.

Sexual harassment is harassment - behaviour intended to intimidate, disturb, offend, threaten someone - that uses sexuality as a vector. It's extraordinarily naive to assume sexual harassment isn't taking place if the aggressor's goal is not to elicit submission to sex itself.
