Lehnhof, K. R. (2007), Scatology and the Sacred in Milton's Paradise Lost. English Literary Renaissance, 37: 429–449. doi: 10.1111/j.1475-6757.2007.00110.x

The passage is not only sexual, it is also scatological. The birth of the cosmos involves divine defecation, which Milton brings to the forefront while explaining the story of creation.
