In the peom "Imperial Adam" by A.D. Hope their is stanza thats says, "This plump gourd severed from his virile root, she promised on the turf of paradise. Delicoius pulp of the forbidden fruit; sly as the snake she loosened her sinuos thighs." This stanza tells me about the strength of a man's desire and how a woman can manipulate them. Asam desires sex and the woman is offering it to him. She "promises delicious pulp of the forbidden fruit." After offering what Adam wants she decides to take it herself in the form of seduction. She is sly as the snake and loosens her thighs, but being a snale tells me that she coiled her thighs around his neck. A woman has the power to seduce a man and men have the reverse power as well, but it is not nearly to the extent of a woman.
