Manipulating Pleasure

When stripped entirely naked, and laid bare for all to see; sex surpasses all feelings, while approaching ecstasy. Shackled to the loins of lust, in the posture of a slave; craving the sensual pain, that enacts love's perversion. You manipulate pleasure to appease carnal urges: indulging in fantasies that seek no apologies. Deep in the human psyche, erotic taboos exist; stalking the imagination, like a primal predator.

Pretty graphic "Shackled to the loins of lust in the posture of a slave". Your last stanza conjures up images of Fifty Shades of Grey. Well done, Emile.

Very deep, sensual write with much truth. Throughout time man has always been a slave. But like Moses' group in the desert there is a continual longing to return to just such a state. Great job Emile.

LOL..sounds like someone has been watching 50 Shades..Can't decide if the first or last strophe is my favorite. Both hold universal truths.~Jan
