Obviously Jack was already smitten as he fumbled with the can opener. Ennis sittin there shirtless , removing his socks and boots., but I don't think he really expected Ennis to go the *full monty* on em 2 ft away from him.

I also agree with you that the *balls the size a apples* statement implies some sexual innuendo towards Jack, or can easily be translated that way. If so, he got the desired effect.

Jack's,... leading Jack to feel Ennis was ripe for the pickins.This just may be one of them.
