Mr R did not so much as elude to sex.Elude means to avoid or escape by speed, cleverness, trickery, etc.; evade: to elude capture. Synonyms: shun, dodge.
I believe the word you should have used is allude: to refer casually or indirectly; make an allusion (usually followed by to): He often alluded to his poverty.

Careful...competing to be the Free Republic Grammar Nazi is a big job which requires that ANYTHING you post - EVER - be flawless. Sure you want the title or are you only interested when you can catch a non-Catholic making a mistake?
