I’ve been told that the largest sex organ in the body is your brain. Hooked on dopamine naturally flowing in my blood, I have found this to be true. Without the brain game everything else falls flat. As I think back on our days during mid-life, many wonderful memories come to mind. Fantasy and imagination are wonderfully erotic. Sharing this with the one I love has been an experience like no other.
Heat of passion burns
Wearing gold herring bone necklace
And nothing more

Today at d’Verse, Saana asked us to consider erotic poetry in literature. She asked us to try our hand at writing a classy erotic poem. I decided to do a Haibun that recounts a favorite image and memory for me. I took this photo many years ago. It has long since faded to orange, so I changed it to black and white.

Dwight I like your haibun and the photo. It makes me wonder what’s going on outside of the frame 🙂 You are so right, without the brain letting loose the body, you can forget about it.

I’ll tell you Dwight, my mid and later life has increased my appreciation of the sensual world. I know how to take my time, snd invest wholeheartedly myself in attaining .the pleasure of my sexual partner, as a part of our mutual enjoyment — and to sustain it without bringing stress into the equation!
