This is an excellent sonnet, well written and thought provoking. The more I read it the more I like it really. I don't categorize it with the zucchini poem at all which I thought was blatant.
I really don't find this mysterious at all. Men view sex differently than women, obviously. Guys can be very selfish and objective while women lean toward love and intimacy. The poem illustrates this morass (lol) poignantly.
This guy has problems beyond being a selfish pig however. He is consistent in his method. It never varies as she knows what he is doing even now. The mother reference is interesting. The whole Freudian thing. I don't have the credentials to discuss that but suffice to say that he has hang ups that ended their relationship. She lashes out wondering if he's gay and or trying finally to silence his mother. Why did it last as long as it did? That's another question that fascinates me.
Why do women stay in abusive relationships? Why do some love "bad" boys? Why do they "love" and abet men who are clearly poison? Ah, the things we do for love!
p.s. And Finale refers to climax.
