More deviant sexualities among poets

[larryhammer]

I'd post this under 17th century aquatic bestiality, but I'm pretty sure it was written in the 16th century: "Come live with me, and be my bait love."

I'm assuming y'all already know 17th century poetry about premature ejaculation. (NSFW)

Not for high school English class, no siree.

Not the second one, no. I should put a NSFW note on it, in fact.

The Donne, though, should be school-safe, no?

We did the Donne poem, to the great lascivious pleasure of my English teacher, in our senior h.s. class. It was honors though.

He -- the teacher -- was particularly taken with the little poem that languished with pleasure at Julia's liquifaction of her clothes as she goes.

Love, C.

When I first met "Upon Julia's Clothes" in college, I adored it. Especially once I worked out that she's naked in the second verse.

I still like the Donne poem, even if it is twisted.

Or maybe because it is twisted....

It is twisted. "You're so beautiful, even all the little fishies want to nibble you up!"
