Sexuality

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants."

"As men, being unable to bear discreetly a satiety of these things, get restive like cattle, and become stiff-necked, and discard the laws of nature, pursuing a great and intemperate indulgence of gluttony, and drinking, and unlawful connections; for not only did they go mad after other women, and defile the marriage bed of others, but also those who were men lusted after one another, doing unseemly things, and not regarding or respecting their common nature, and though eager for children, they were convicted by having only an abortive offspring; but the conviction produced no advantage, since they were overcome by violent desire; and so by degrees, the men became accustomed to be treated like women, and in this way engendered among themselves the disease of females, and intolerable evil; for they not only, as to effeminacy and delicacy, became like women in their persons, but they also made their souls most ignoble, corrupting in this way the whole race of men, as far as depended on them."

"Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion. Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you."

"Whenever, Lesbia, from your chair you rise, Your dress is tightly drawn between your thighs, And plays, I’ve noticed, in your hindmost site The active part of some vile sodomite."

"I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

"Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."

"Have you not in a chimney seen A sullen faggot, wet and green, How coyly it receives the heat And at both ends does fume and sweat?So fares it with the harmless maid When first upon her back she’s laid; But the kind experienced dame Cracks, and rejoices in the flame."

"And thou, O! dear, delightful bed, The altar where Her maidenhead, With burning cheeks, and down cast eyes, With panting breasts, and kind replies, And other due solemnity, Was offer’d up to love and me."

"By the shattered hymen of Thor's bride!"

"Before your mouth was fringed with hair, All pricks might find a haven there. Till hangmen loathed a boy so common. And dead cart men preferred a woman. When gamahuche no longer paid. Your tongue was still your stock in trade, No more to suck, but to discharge Its venom on mankind at large; On character base slurs to fix. As once it had polluted pricks. Oh filthy tongue, you'd better far Be what you were than what you are!"

"i like, slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz of your electric furr,and what-is-it comes over parting flesh ...."

"Labienus, each hair on your bosom that grows, On your arms, on your legs, with much trouble You shave, and your belly's appurtenance shews Like a newly mown field with its stubble, Thus blooming and sweet, as the breath of the morn. Your mistress entwines you, fond boy. But you've something behind, neatly shaven and shorn, That is scarcely a mistress's toy."

"To act with raw boys is loving without men. What will not poor forsaken women try? When man's not near, the Signior must supply."

"He hath songs for man or woman, of all sizes. No milliner can so fit his customers with gloves. He has the prettiest love songs for maids, so without bawdry, which is strange, with such delicate burdens of dildos and fadings, “Jump her and thump her.” And where some stretch-mouthed rascal would, as it were, mean mischief and break a foul gap into the matter, he makes the maid to answer “Whoop, do me no harm, good man”; puts him off, slights him, with “Whoop, do me no harm, good man.”"

"I am told with a vast long signior Some matrons do ease Their lust and do please Though they have not been lain with these ten years."

"Chrestus, though not two hairs your scrotum deck, Though your prick's softer than the vulture's neck, Though your mild face, effeminate smooth and plump, Rivals the Pathic's prostituted rump, And girlish in your hairless thighs and hips. Art hides all trace of manhood in your lips; You talk of deeds the great, and good, and bold Have done, with stern pomposity, and hold Forth on the vices that corrupt the age; But while this virtuous war on vice you wage, If some bright lad, who's just outgrown his school, While thoughts of freedom swell his youthful tool, Come up, you lead aside the sprightly boy, And when replete of what you most enjoy, Your Cato's tongue would never dare confess t' us, How very much you had behaved like Chrestus."

"Thy Beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble Vault, shall sound My ecchoing Song: then Worms shall try That long preserv’d Virginity: And your quaint Honour turn to dust; And into ashes all my Lust."

"Here Jove is made a swan, a golden shower, Or seems a serpent, or a shepherd-swain, To work his amorous will in secret hour; Here, like an eagle, soars he o'er the plain, Love-led, and bears his Ganymede, the flower Of beauty, mid celestial peers to reign; The boy with cypress hath his fair locks crowned, Naked, with ivy wreathed his waist around."

"Even lovers have vanished without a trace. Ever since the Milesians revolted from us, I haven’t even seen a six-inch dildo, which might have been a consolation, however small."

"Lasses like Autumne Plums did drop, And Lads, indifferently did crop A Flower, and a Maiden-head."

"Netts, of passions finest thred, Snaring Poems, will be spred, All, to catch thy maiden-head."

"Saith she, “Yet liever I were dead, Than I should lose my maidenhead, And all for love of men.”"

"With margerain jentyll, The flowre of goodlyhede, Embrowdred the mantill Is of your maydenhede."

"The custome was that euery maid did weare, During her maidenhead, a silken Sphere About her waste, aboue her inmost weede, Knit with Minevuas knot, and that was freede By the faire Bridegrome on the manage night, With many ceremonies of delight: And yet eternisde Hymens tender Bride, To suffer it dissolu’d so sweetly cride. The maids that heard so lou’d, and did adore her, They wisht with all their hearts to suffer for her. So had the Matrons, that with Confits stood About the chamber, such affectionate blood, And so true feeling of her harmeles paines, That euery one a showre of Confits raines. For which the Brideyouths scrambling on the ground, In noyse of that sweet haile her cryes were drownd. And thus blest Hymen ioyde his gracious Bride, And for his ioy was after deifide."

"Joy to the Bridegroome and the Bride That lye by one anothers side! O fie upon the Virgin Bedds, No losse is gain but Maiden heads. Love quickly send the time may be When I shall deal my Rosemary!"

"Why hoard your maidenhood? There’ll not be found A lad to love you, girl, under the ground. Love’s joys are for the quick; but when we’re dead It’s dust and ashes, girl, will go to bed."

"Have ye any crack’d maidenheads, to new leach or mend? Have ye any old maidenheads to sell or to change? Bring ’em to me, with a little pretty gin, I’ll clout ’em, I’ll mend ’em, I’ll knock in a pin, Shall make ’em as good maids again, As ever they have been.If your daughters on their beds, Have bowed or crack’d their maidenheads; If, in a coach, with too much tumbling, They chance to cry, fy, fo, what fumbling! If her foot slip, and down fall she, And break her leg above the knee; The one and thirtieth of February let this be ta’en, And they shall be arrant maids again."

"As unthrifts groan in straw for their pawn’d beds, As women weep for their lost maidenheads, When both are without hope or remedy, Such an untimely grief I have for thee."

"If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you."

"She hating as a haynous crime the bonde of bridely bed Demurely casting downe hir eyes, and blushing somwhat red, Did folde about hir fathers necke with fauning armes: and sed: Deare father, graunt me while I live my maidenhead for to have, As to Diana here tofore hir father freely gave. Thy father (Daphne) could consent to that thou doest require, But that thy beautie and thy forme impugne thy chaste desire: So that thy will and his consent are nothing in this case, By reason of the beautie bright that shineth in thy face."

"“Nausicaa, How bare thy mother such a careless child? Neglected all thy rich attire is piled: Yet nigh thy wedding is, when thou must wear Fair raiment on thyself, and bring it fair To them that lead thee; for it causeth fame To mount abroad for good, to go thus clad, And maketh father's heart and mother's glad. Come therefore, at the daybreak let us fare A-washing; I will also go, to be Thy workfellow, and get thee quickly sped,— For thou shalt not rest long in maidenhead:— The best of all our men are wooing thee In this Phaeacian land, where thou wast born.”"

"I swear I’le keep my Maidenhead till death, And die as pure as Queen Elizabeth."

"An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye. In the case of an eye, after a tear falls from it another tear forms to replace it. Similarly, the ruptured hymen of the girl younger than three is restored."

"I throw my apple towards you. If you will love me, take it And give me in repayment your own maidenhead: If your will is what I would not, yet keep it still; and make it A lesson of how swiftly all loveliness is fled."

"An adult man who engaged in intercourse with a minor girl less than three years old has done nothing, as intercourse with a girl less than three years old is tantamount to poking a finger into the eye. In the case of an eye, after a tear falls from it another tear forms to replace it. Similarly, the ruptured hymen of the girl younger than three is restored."

"Ugly women use dildoes."

"Adieu, unconstant love, to thy disport; Adieu, false mirth, and melodies too short; Adieu, faint-hearted instrument of lust, That falsely hath betrayed our equal trust.) Henceforth I will no more implore thine aid, Or thee for ever of Cowardice shall upraid: My little dildoe shall supply your kind, A youth that is as light as leaves in wind: He bendeth not, nor foldeth any deal, But stands as stiff as he were made of steel; (And plays at peacock twixt my legs right blithe And doeth my tickling swage with many a sigh;) And when I will, he doth refresh me well, And never makes my tender belly swell."

"You ladies all of merry England Who have been to kiss the Duchess's hand, Pray, did you not lately observe in the show A noble Italian called Signor Dildo? ...A rabble of pricks who were welcomed before, Now finding the porter denied them the door, Maliciously waited his coming below And inhumanly fell on Signor Dildo ..."

"The sisters of Jack Howe too I must name, In vice as knowing, and as bad in fame; For fear of children they all men defy, The Signior [Dildo]'s vigor constantly they try."

"Why pluck the bristles from your worn out cleft, Hoary and grizzled by time's onward march? For wanton tricks you've no excuses left, Age should be all propriety and starch. Let blooming girls their tender pussies trim, Those pouting buds expect some pleasure after; My wife might charm me if she dressed her quim, But my grandmother would provoke my laughter. That is no cunt at which no prick can stand, The whitened embers of young lust's spent force; Then cast the tweezers from your palsied hand. Nor beard the once fierce lion's rotting corse."

"Depending upon shock tactics is easy, whereas writing a good play is difficult. Pubic hair is no substitute for wit."

"Her pubic hair grew like a patch of grass that had been trampled by a passing army."

"Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If anyone has sexual intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill it along with him. I (Ikrimah) said: I asked him (Ibn Abbas): What offence can be attributed to the animal? He replied: I think he (the Prophet) disapproved of its flesh being eaten when such a thing had been done to it."

"Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion."

"They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”"

"Their crime, who not with us proceed, was that, For which, as he did triumph, Caesar heard The snout of ‘queen’, to taunt him. Hence their cry Of ‘Sodom,’ as they parted, to rebuke Themselves, and aid the burning by their shame."

"Love a woman? You’re an ass! ’Tis a most insipid passion To choose out for your happiness The silliest part of God’s creation.Let the porter and the groom, Things designed for dirty slaves, Drudge in fair Aurelia’s womb To get supplies for age and graves.Farewell, woman! I intend Henceforth every night to sit With my lewd, well-natured friend, Drinking to engender wit.Then give me health, wealth, mirth, and wine, And, if busy love entrenches, There’s a sweet soft page of mine Does the trick worth forty wenches."

"'Asim reported from Abu Razin on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas saying: There is no prescribed punishment for one who has sexual intercourse with an animal."
