PLEASE
YOURSELF
Sixteen
is when the gays want legal sex.
What
happens when lads younger have a go
(at
public schools and that) in most respects
is
still outside the law. Lesbians, though,
can
smooch at any time, ’cause no one checks.
No
hetero or homo is reported.
What
they do is accepted—that’s all sorted.
What’s
puzzling is that no one talks of rights
for
narcissists. Self-love, we
must assume,
is
still a love that dare not come to light,
though
it is common, even in the womb.
(From
the beginning, see, it’s out of sight!)
Kids
do it in warm bathrooms and in war-zones,
especially
when puberty pumps out hormones.
Sex
lessons mention it, or so they say.
But
my guess is that masturbation’s seen
as
something children do, one kind of play.
Adults
might do it sometimes in between
fulfilling
sex when partners are away.
Jokes
count on the absurd: ‘a poke, a stuff,
is
not like the real thing but good enough.’
Words
like ‘jerk off’ and ‘fondling one’s crack’
suggest
a secret shame. True, some lads (he-males)
say
they toss off three times a day. A
stack
of
smutty books and porn films picture females
using
vibrators with the morning snack.
But
where’s the film star who has made a stand,
admitting
a loving friendship with his hand?
It’s
usually supposed that girls and guys
devoted
to the acts of self-relief
are
maimed or somehow do not appetise.
The
natural way in common-sense belief
concerns
a dual, healthy exercise—
of
frotting, arching, sweating, licking, spasms—
as
two together peak in their orgasms.
That’s
very nice, I wouldn’t want to stop ’em.
But
yet I am perturbed that there’s a closet
which
the self-pleasuring ones still have to hop in;
that
they are looked upon like some deposit
that
a cheap glass of wine leaves at the bottom.
Yet
is it not quite often rather wizard
to
rub one’s clit alone, or stroke the lizard?
For
anyone of a liberal education
who
fills in forms for jobs must sometimes hanker
for
freedom, alongside Sexual Orientation,
to
enter ‘Narcissist’ or simply ‘Wanker’
and
feel a glow about the declaration!
There
could be here a dam about to burst.
So
raise your free hand. Who will be the first?
