Upon checking (the unabridged, new) LSJ(G) yet again, I see that it does
list the Eph 5:4 passage under the second meaning, "filthy conduct," BUT,
as I noted in my previous message, it does not link the word AISCROTHS in
Eph 5:4 to "fellatio" but for that refers rather to a scholion on the
"Frogs" of Aristophanes.
