Okay, the following is not for any strictly straight guy of my acquaintance. Really. I mean it. I'm looking at you.
For everyone else,
versaphile pointed me at this.
theamusedone, you want to read this if for some reason you haven't already. Every single slasher on the list needs to read it. I quote
only from the description!:
But Chiasson teases us with his description of the dirtiest poem in the anthology, W.H. Auden's "The Platonic Blow," which Chiasson can only call "is the dirtiest verse written since Rochester — I can’t even talk about it here."
So how dirty is it, really?
It is really, really, really, really dirty. Like a Penthouse Forum letter, except in lively verse, and with no women. It's sort of great, and also sort of cheesy and awful, and also occasionally hilarious.
I swear: you will
recognize some of this!

ETA such minor things as a closing italics tag and, oh yes, the
link in question! The link - to both the description and to the poem, which is IN NO WAY worksafe, is under the word Description.
