From “Ode to the Penis”
by Nancy Ava Miller

...
Is sex a sin? Oh, who can tell!
When God made sex, he
made it well.
They
say that God is like a king;
They
say that God made everything.
They
say he made both wife and man.
He
must have made that lesbian.
They
say that God made wind and rain.
Some
say life is filled with pain.
Filled
with pain, but good things, too,
Like
kids and love and morning dew.
And
filled with sex—good as life gets.
And
God made gays and God made hets.
He
made whips and dildos, too.
He
even made a high-heeled shoe.
He
made the Earth; he made the sky.
It’s
not for me to question why.
If God
made wind and God made rain
And
God placed porn shops down on Main
He
also made my trembling dick.
If God
made that, I can’t be sick! |

Virtually no one has enough accurate, judgment-free information
about sex. We don’t watch other people do it, we can’t find many
accurate representations of it in the media, and few of us talk
honestly about it with each other. It’s almost impossible to know
the full range of sexual thoughts and behavior of the people around
us—and, therefore, impossible to know how much we have in common.

therapist, and

Them, When and How to Tell |
