A stallion is a male horse-- and usually a sexual reference!. She's saying that John still lusts after her, breaking into a sweat when he sees her!. She's holding the affair over his head and reminding him how he has sinned would like to sin again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure in which manner it's being said but from what I can tell she's either saying that he's physically sweating profusely, like a stallion, or that he's as nervous as a stallion!? Sorry, I know that's pretty horrible advice!. Could you write more from the passage in which you're referring to!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
