poetry and sexuality

I don't see why not...

virgins write better than non virgins.....actually im just kidding, I think it can go either way........and Im going to go write a poem about peanut butter now :)

Actually that's not libido. Mehwell. Having written poetry from both sides of sexuality - that is, having not experienced it and having experienced it, I can say that my poetry, particularly my love poetry has changed muchly. It's certainly more textural, detailed, realistic and arousing.

Yeah, I think the subject matter might tend to change - especially in love poems, and Nuovo describes - when you're actually IN a physical romantic relationship. As far as style goes... hm. I think for me, the energy that gets put into sexuality is akin to the energy that I feel with other things. Not that I 'sexually' love nature or the other things I write about, but there's the same sort of passionate intensity that I think can be found in many situations, sexual or otherwise. Kind of an interesting topic to think about.

What does NOT help us to experience poetical feelings?

Yes.

Hence the reason for "sexually explicit poems"

Depends on the person, but hey what the heck...

you know, whatever floats youre boat

I totally agree with you it all depends on the person?

I think so.
Anything helps you with writing poetry.
Living or dying.
It helps.
If that makes sense.

Does it matter? i dont think it does

I don't think that it really matters. But I agree that it helps us to experience what that poet was feeling while he/she was writing that poem.

Sure. I mean anything that youre feeling can help you write poetry.
