[lbo-talk] further evidence of the decline of men

[B.]

I never care who I go to bed with
Male or female, there's never any incentive

It's a muck up, it's a screw up
'Cos fucking anybody always messes me up a proper lot
'Cos my love lies limp, 
'Cos my love lies limp.

--Alternative TV, "Love Lies Limp," 1977

The Imperfect Enjoyment
John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

[...]

But I, the most forlorn, lost man alive,
To show my wished obedience vainly strive:
I sigh, alas! and kiss, but cannot swive.
Eager desires confound my first intent,
Succeeding shame does more success prevent,
And rage at last confirms me impotent.
