(I cited you of course:)) I was so happy to find someone else who supported what I was trying to say, and even gave me a different perspective!

(Gypsies use a crystal ball, and it doesn't mean anything sexual in that context, right?) As for the peach, maybe they just wanted a hand fruit that, for ease of sequence, didn't need to be peeled (orange, banana) and they didn't want to use an apple because that's too cliche (Eden, Snow White). I think the only sexual symbol is Jareth himself, an adult form of Sarah's fantasy that would tempt her to stay in the Labyrinth (and grow up there as a queen/princess) instead of becoming a normal adult in the real world. So it's largely about her escapism into a fantasy world, but also about having a complete future there. I don’t think the crystal orb represented anything except magic in general.
