Sex Sells

16+ One slightly strong word, but nothing anyone on here won't have heard.

In a world of tarnished silver
Of iron turned to rust
There is one enticing jewel
Of sex and heat and lust

Female singers would cover up
If modesty was all the rage
But they have to dress like sluts
If they want to be front page

Pornography is commonplace
No longer hidden or hushed
Yet it's still seedy and dirty
True intimacy it's crushed

Sex sells, it's true, though slightly sad
That things have got so crude
And sad that anyone who thinks it so
Is slammed down as a prude.

Life's a mystery.

@Nom Sadly true.

Too true, we're in danger of making 'sexy' less exciting - what's the point of having a birthday every day?! ๐Ÿ˜ณ Gotta keep something in the bag for those special occasions!! ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜Š

@MrsS indeed!

Spot on-so much is lost now, with the 'mystery' often non existent ๐Ÿ˜”

@Fly10 sorry my most recent poems have been a bit depressing!
