The author explains the term and agrees it needs editing.

> "the usual briefs and t-shirt" is not a sexual statement

It makes the author's comment about his wife sexual. The author is suddenly fully clothed and mocking his naked wife, instead of sharing in their shared hungover, underdressed state.

You also fail to mention the second example which is explicitly sexual. It seems as though you didn't read it all.

As I read it, the author and wife both had t-shirts on, and the wife was taking hers off. There was no previous shared state where they were both less dressed than that.
