Listen to me for a second. Giving up a priceless secret like this should be good. Rewrite it to Penthouse, and you might have an audience.

I found my mom's vibrator when I was a kid and didn't know what in the hell it was either. I was thrilled to see a poem about this experience here on Nerve, along with all the sexy stuff. Great images; I could see and feel the scene the poem created. And as far as poetry goes, the language is great. I was entertained, which poetry doesn't do all the time. So, okay, it is "cute." But it's a kid persona. Can you think of any other kid poems about discovering erotica? I was turned on to this poem from a link on adultbackwash.com, who gave it a silver choice rating. So I think a.b. is in the minority here. You should know this, Carissa, and know that we want more of your poems . (my personal favorite was Hot Lunch though.)

I felt it was rather amateur compared to poetry that has been published in the past. It seems to rely on knee-jerk reactions the reader would have to certain images. The juxtaposition between the non-sexual child and the sexual object seems to cutesy to really make me think this is a well-written poem, and more an attempt at dumbing poetry for the masses. Sorry.

Maybe I read a differnt poem than some of the other readers. I didn't see anything sexual between the author and a vibrator. No shame, no embarassment. It was just a much loved toy (in a non-sexual way). I could visualize the author playing with it, not even knowing what it was, thus making up all kinds of uses for it. Mixing the chocolate milk was hilarious. I enjoyed it a lot.

This reminds me of all the times my brothers and mother would walk in on me masterbating. I am very lucky I turned into a pro-sexual adult. ps- no i was never molested, just mercilessly teased!

This is an absolutly awesome peice. A young girl, guilt, pleasure, and shame....but that extreem longing to continue which leads you to be an extreemly sexual adult. I love it. -K-
