Chaucer

Chaucer

At present, sex is the mind’s preoccupation,
 and in the body we can only mentally fornicate. 
To-day, we’ve got no sex.
 We have only cerebral excitations.

The mind will have to glut itself,
 and the ego will have to burst like the swollen frog,
 and then perhaps we shall know true sex, 
in ourselves.

D.H. Lawrence from
“Leave Sex Alone”

Sex, Silence and other Pornographic Indiscretions

When twentieth century writer D.H. Lawrence began publishing poetry about the beauty and love that he found within sex, he became one of the most despised and censored authors of his time. With his notion that “sex isn’t sin” he claimed that sex is a creative passion until the human mind deforms and dilutes it. Despite the prevalence of sex in literature, its appearance in all genres has been met with misunderstanding, condemnation and even blatant oblivion or ignorance of its significance.
	While poets like Lawrence have been blatant and undisguised in their socially contrasting ideas regarding sex, other poets have offered more subtle subversions on this topic. Geoffrey Chaucer, for example, incorporated a variety of sexual acts within his works The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde. His medieval audience would have generally qualified sex in either one of
