I think the best sex advice you can get is from other people who share ideas with each other in a positive, non-judgemental way. There is a community called Real Sex Advice that does just that and has helped me tremendously. Hope it helps you guys too!

Why would poets have good sex advice? How exactly do we know that poets are having good/great sex? How do we know it has ANYthing to do with them being poets?

I've dated a few "poets" (or maybe it was just us being teenagers and goth), but the sex was not that phenomenal. Now, "Sex Advice From Hookers", there's a story! Surely, the professionals would have some wisdom to impart.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm 1 of 5, maybe 10, people on the internet grossed out by pictures of feet.

Why must I wait for you to love me better after death?
We are, after all, both postmodernists.

Dear Lovelorn Poet Advisor,

The woman I love, who is above me in every way, except writing poetry, which she admitted she would never think to do, has thrown me over and married another man, or a man.

What should I do?

Should I tear up her flower-beds and maybe urinate on the doormat at the couple's new house, and make myself feel better?

Or should I kill myself and so make myself a tragic literary figure, at least for two generations, and then a burden on students of German literature for at least a half dozen more?

Please answer quickly, as I am losing my nerve, fearing what might happen if her new husband should catch me pulling up the flowers.

Sincerely, Young Werther

Why don't you try urinating on her flower-beds instead of on the doormat? A lonely female neighbor might pass by and be impressed by your stamen. :)

An excellent suggestion. Why is it we can never think so clearly when we are enthralled in the throes of our passions?

Of course, there will be ones who will disagree a suggestion to urinate on anything might be an excellent, or even acceptable, suggestion. Those will, however, be ones who have never been wracked by love, or ever been poets. They will be ones whose senses of justice are stunted, unable to understand poetic justice...

I'm a firm believer that poetry is a lost art form here in America. It's prevalence in the fabric of American culture is slim at best. As a teacher, I often try to open my students up to the wonders of poetry. Hmm....

Great sex advice from the poets -- no surprise there. (My favorite comment was Jill Alexander Essbaum's advice about the best way to lose a girl.)

No poets are big stars in the US. That's just awful. In other countries the better ones are prominent influential big-shots, which is as it should be. People who can give you advice about how to get laid which is both sensible AND humorous should be big shots. It's just a basic sign that a society has its priorities in order.
