The Nerve presents sex advice from poets today. Though mostly it's relationship advice.

Except this - "If the Ezra Pound was a sex position, what would it be?"

David Lehman:
The step-over toe hold.
Mark Bibbins:
It would last longer than it should, you’d never know what’s going on, and it would get you thrown in an asylum.
Jill Alexander Essbaum:
It would be less shuddering than the Shakespeare, less taboo than the Dickinson, more euphemistic than the Anne Sexton, cleaner than the E.E. Cummings, less coy than the Sara Teasdale, more flaccid than the Thomas Hardy. Something like doing your chick pressed against the shower wall under lukewarm water.
