Is There a Flaw in the Premise of This Poem?

Gesundheit

These men, I fear,

who I hold dear,

are probably

frustrated.

They look at me

so longingly

and haven't been

castrated.

But why should we

chance intimacy

through sexual

relations?

When a good sneeze

gives sweet release

and similar

elation.

Update:

I'm reminded of the woman who apologized for the shudder and cry following her sneeze. She explained, "I have a condition where I have an orgasm every time I sneeze."

"How unusual," said her friend. "Are you taking anything for it?"

"Oh, yes," she replied. "Pepper."

Update 2:

I assume she kept a handkerchief nearby as well, P'Quaint!

A lot of fun answers, given in the spirit this poem was intended. Thanks for the laughs.

And yes -- whom it is! :)

    No, none at all.

    You might carry white pepper ? :) .

    ;

    5 sneezes have the equivalent reliedf-value of 1 orgasm.

    I held that in my mental file of

    `Interesting yet-not-dinner-talk-information` adeline.

    Glad it`s out there now...

    (Hi, we think similarly at times, I notice .).

    ps.. My place is split-level = 2 floors :D

    Very nice composition you have created, in poetic style of course.

    A thoughtful and honest subject as well.

    The actual event of sexual intimacy is a God given gift that has been

    tremendously abused. My life did not go unscathed, the the ship was

    righted in due time.

    Though a gift, it should not be at the top of the list of any relation, and

    that is what I see and why so many men end up in the Castration line,

    and so many women resort to boob jobs and all types of cosmetic

    surgery.

    Gift of exceedingly delicious pleasure? Yes, yet over-rated. Stuff like

    snuggling, just laying there with your mate, making out, holding hands,

    all great stuff to preclude the main deal, or even obviate if ya feel like it.

    A good sneeze as a replacement sometimes. Good one.

    My preference is a nice, relaxing Bowel Movement, reading the sports

    pages, and making sure I double wipe to save on TP.

    Congrats

    edit: To simply answer your question: The premise is FALSE

    thus the whole raison de existance of your poem is invalidated

    but, other than that it is a good poem

    The point to this poem is that sexual intimacy should be more than just a physical release.

    A man who can look at you with sexual desire when you are on the verge of a sneeze is a keeper.

    The poem is clever, and neatly expressed. If it is honest, then it has value. The feminine rimes - given the topic - are particularly elegant.

    It is at least as well written as Brian Wilson's 'Do it again.' But whenever I hear those opening lines:

    It's automatic - when I

    Talk with old friends

    The conversation - turns to

    Girls we knew whose

    Hair was soft and long

    And the beach was the place to go.

    I find I am so disturbed with what Mr. Wilson just told me about his core sexuality that I can hardly pay attention to anything the song says intentionally.

    Wisdom often is conveyed

    in brief, well voiced poems

    and , as shown here,

    can be quiet effective

    with a clincher ending.

    A biting write with legs, DF.

    Source(s): BTW...there is a milisecond during a sneeze when you are clinically dead. We briefly die whenever we sneeze. Thus the term, "Bless you".

    Was it not Aristotle who astutely found the correlation between a sneeze and sexual thought? Your poem carries a humorous subtlety to it that almost made me sneeze! Enjoyed.

    Hmm...wondering why it is saying "When a good sneeze gives sweet release and similar elation".

    My answer, not really.

  • 8 years ago

    It takes ten sneezes to release the same amount of dopamine as one orgasm.

    Bless you!

    So,like, you just sit there sneezing at each other,or what?
