It will always be viewed as a step below actually having intercourse though. It seems baffling that someone might consider
Since the dawn of man, sex has played a crucial role in society. Before they learned to read or write humans were engaging in sex and without it none of us would be here.

It may not be a 1960s sexual revolution but Americans' attitudes toward sex have certainly taken a dramatic turn toward sexual irreverence. American culture has lost all sense of discretion. We have no boundaries or sense of anything being a private matter. After we cruised through the conservative 50’s; we chanted and swayed through the sexual revolution of the 60’s.

please her lover, takes / a fountain into her mouth...” (p. 49). Although the act of oral sex is widely practiced today, I have never heard it depicted as a beautiful act. The sense of beauty comes from the idea that the woman and her lover share a bond so deep that she is willing to do anything to please him. Updike later portrays this act as very natural, because he goes on to compare the culmination of oral sex to nature in the end of this poem. The act is compared to the planting of flowers
