Cyclops has stumped me for the first time in a while.

17 A form of service when sex is involved in unspecified disease (7)

Crossers seem to be _I_U_G_, though I'm not certain of the U.

As so often happens, the penny just dropped. Apologies.

Could you make that penny drop a bit further? I'm stumped.

Definition "form of service". Parses as the common 2-letter crossword term for sex (IT) inside a 5-letter UK slang term for "unspecified illness". Being American, it took me a while to see the latter.

Thanks. Still learning the cryptic ropes. IT = sex. Never knew it as a clue.

23 across: All possible White House sources before getting in an untidy state?

Everything fits, and is a synonym of all, but I can’t parse the rest of it. Any ideas?

Sorry...
Every = all possible
WH - first letters, sources of White House
Ere = before

Everywhere, an untidy state (h'mm, maybe a bit loose!)
