Women, Sex, Men - D.H. Lawrence

Women, Sex, Men

Most women want a man,
Not sex.
They bargain sex
For men.
The old-fashioned
Just lies there,
Sex is
No pleasure to her.

The sly one pretends
Passions and pleasures--
All cockaloopy,
She makes up all of it.

Some love everything--
Feelings and cuddlings.
But they make you go off
When you don't want it.

Then the hard sort,
The devil, to bring off all,
Just like my wife,
Bossy and unkind.

Then the cold sort,
Dead, all dead inside.
And she very well
Knows it.

Finally the Lesbian,
She puts you out before you “come”
And writhes her loins
Against your thighs.

Some men like
One or the other kind.
But I like none of it.
I hate it. I hate it.
