The Bowery was where the bums and winos loiter.

I think the "stuff" they are refering to is "pussy."  If the pussy has a 
zipper on it I think that means it's closed up tight.  The shortness of the 
guy's penis was implying that it had been cut off by the zipper.

Each other, since all their minds (and the rest of their bodies) are 
literally in the sewer.  The slang term "mind in the sewer" means 
"dirty-minded," or lascivious.

Beastiality is pornography, thus an attraction to a dirty mind.
