Valentine Dirty Poems

From LoveToKnow Dating

If your relationship has gone past the sweet hearts and candy phase, it may be time to send your valentine dirty poems on February 14. While at first the idea may seem shocking, there's actually a fine literary tradition behind dirty poetry, with some of the finest writers in the world turning their pen towards the more scandalous and profane declarations of love and desire. Shakespeare's done it, e.e. cummings has done it – perhaps it's now your turn.

Can dirty poems be romantic?

Should You Give Your Valentine Dirty Poems?

The key to any gift is to make sure that it's something that the recipient wants, and that holds true for sexy verse as much as anything. Only you can really know if a saucy message will be welcomed by your sweetheart. However, it's also very easy to offend someone with the wrong kind of message, so take the time to figure out if it's worth the risk:

Length of Relationship – If you've just met someone, or have only had a couple of dates, it may be hard to know if they would welcome this kind of a message. Do you really know their comfort level well enough?
Sense of Propriety – You don't have to be prudish to simply feel that some things are appropriate and occasionally downright offensive. Different people have different comfort levels in regards to sexuality, and keep that in mind when composing your Valentine.
Intimacy of Relationship – If the two of you are already sexually intimate, it's probably fairly safe – and, in fact, rather romantic – to express it clearly. But make sure your timing is right – privacy is usually a good idea, keeping the lascivious message between the two of you.

Valentines Day Jokes Poems Advice

Remember, you can always give them a romantic poem, and then say "I was thinking of making it much naughtier, but I wasn't sure if you'd appreciate that." This gives you points for being sensitive to them and also gives you the chance to give them a more appropriate message the following year. Remember, it's always easy to get more brazen.

Types of Valentine Dirty Poems

The kinds of sexy poems used for Valentine's Day can basically be divided into two kinds: humorous and erotic.

[edit]

Erotic

Erotic poems are designed to elicit a reaction from the body's largest sex organ: the brain. Whether blatantly describing the act of sex and intimate body parts or using clever metaphor and innuendo to imply carnal subjects, erotic poetry is serious. It's designed to quicken the pulse of the reader, to remind them of the passion and heat of desire.

So be careful, because what is arousing prose to one person can be ridiculous or offensive to another. Consider what kinds of slang is used – not so much to decide if it's offensive, but more to determine if it is going to be a turn-on for your Valentine. Looking at some methods used by poets like e.e. cummings (who used phrases like "electric fur") to find inspiration for your own poetry. Websites such as Paul Curtis' contain many very erotic and well-written poems.

Remember not to simply steal the poems, though – aside from a personal touch being needed to truly make a poem romantic, plagiarism is never sexy.

Humorous

One of the great truisms about sex is that, in many ways, it is funny. Comedians the world over have performed volumes of jokes, and many of them have found their way into verse. The nice thing about limericks are that you can decide just how dirty you plan to make them, and assign the rhyme based on that. Whether a riff off of the classic "There once was a girl from Nantucket" or perhaps a rhyme for your sweetheart's name, the limerick has been a treasured form of lewd expression for decades. Websites such as DirtyLimerick.com have thousands of examples of the art.

Whether you choose to use a dirty poem to woo your Valentine or something more pure, remember that the best Valentines come from the heart, in a spirit of love and romantic connection.
