Hooray For Sluts!
Cynics should define Pornography thus:
Unsubtle orchestration of on-screen rape.
Divine nymphs given over to beastly men's pleasures
Lurid scenes arousing one's attention
While capitalizing on intention
A paradox; reviled yet treasured.
Dominance politics between master and slave
Will to power vis-a-vis will to life
Ribald relations with husband or wife
Although if consensual, no face need be saved.
Our Acheulian Goddess is generous
Beyond any reasonable belief
Providing each his relief
From a sensual hunger so onerous.Aphrodite's daughters are all votaries of Eros
Joined in orgiastic sport with goatish Pan
Hermaphroditus is half woman and half man
Whilst loving young lads was once known as Eromenos
So let's hear it for those titillating temptresses willing to take it for we teeming masses
Turning on us lusty voyeurs by baring their luscious breasts and bawdy asses!

This is very promising. I wish you could have sustained the -/ -- -/ tempo in the opening of every line--more valuable imo than the rhymes. I feel that the rhymes pull you off course w/ this, which is a shame, because you have all the ingredients to bring this up two levels... a revision, a revision... it's all this poem needs.
Very nice piece of writing...and I'm even mentioned. :) How is the book, by the way?
