The Story of Sushi author Trevor Corson, interviewed at The Haphazard Gourmet Girls:

I am of course far too young to remember this (cough), but older friends of mine have told me that in the 1980s, “Do you like sushi?” was a way of asking someone if they were interested in oral sex. At one point on my book tour, I actually stopped by the Erotica LA convention and discovered that the guy hanging out with the hottest porn stars on the main dais was a sushi chef whose restaurant had started serving naked-body sushi. You don’t run across restaurants serving tacos or sweet-and-sour pork off naked people. So I guess there’s just something particularly sensual about sushi. It is raw flesh, after all.
