The suggested heart shape looks more like a hoof print to me. The large cup type marks are a little perculiar is so much as they are on a vertical surface... not unheard of but rare. The smoothness could be down to rubbing over a long period of time. It's also more than possible that 'panels' of rock art were built up over a long time, maybe sometimes taking generations. So some shapes or symbols could come from different 'eras' than others.

That wanking priests thing has really disturbed my day! But it is possible that as the majority of cup marks are on flat surfaces, they could have been made to be recepticals. Perhaps milk replaced sperm as the tradition carried through the generations... eventually ending up in being painted white to represent sperm/milk... as public wanking became an arrestable offence (in all other places outside Norfolk at least)!
