First off, Graendal asks if Delana knows compulsion. So no way was it her who taught Delana. And that complicates things...
As for how Graendal figures it out... her dove sees the Access Key in Rand's hand, being used. Graendal panics and thinks that using it is as bad as Balefire. In a flash, she realizes what's about to happen.
It didn't seem too bad to me. The CK scared the Foresaken shitless before too. Comparing its dangers to balefire doesn't seem forced to me.

I think this is the type of info that RJ never got around to revealing.

Particularly the way he described sex. It reeked of Mormon discomfort with the topic.

Reeked? Great word. It seemed quite in line with RJ's own dealings with the topic. *NM*

RJ had great sexual humor--he even went a little overboard sometimes IMO

RJ said breasts all the time, but in a more clinical manner - folding arms under breasts, etc
