All Comments on 'Love For Sale in Havana'

It might do with some severe editing to ensure the highlights actually stand out. Sweet O.

Ballads are as American and Brittish as sex in high places. I was staying in a room in Havana years back when a buddy and I used to make a run in his speed boat out of Miami to buy Cuban Cigars. I would watch Clarissa from my window and asked a bit about her to my hosts. She was a nice girl who was down and out. I was amazed at how punctual she was, as soon as it got dark there she was. I never frequented her as we became friendly and I always gave her any extra cash for her and the baby before we left town. I didn't believe in mixing friendship with business. Life is not easy for many women, remember that when you seen the girls on the street

I think there are a few good lines here and I like the rhyming. It is a ballad form and not high poetry. It tells a story, has a rhythm, and is well spoken aloud with a drink in hand in good company. Especially after a rowdy night with the resultant soft member.

5-ed .

got tired n skipped to the comments. Only problem is that the girl is 16, thought that was a no no on Lit... Otherwise not to bad

first- 16 is legal in most latin countries

second-a woman with child is considered to no longer be a minor, she is considered emancipated under most legal systems

third-find me a word that rhymes and we can make her older like 116, what ever, she certainly is not a child

Harry is referring to Literotica's submission guidelines, Erectus, not the legal definition. Lit requires that stories, and I presume poetry, not depict sexual activity by male/female characters under the age of 18.

If you're worried about the flow, no need for it, just substitute "eighteen" or "a teen" for sixteen and you still have a young woman who has problems with size of the Captain's hammer.

as they do not want to deal with child porno or child trafficking which would cause potential federal intervention. With that in mind I think there is no problem. The character is not a minor, is operating in a country where sex at 16 is permitted, no pimp or trafficker is involved. You might note that the guideline are not chiseled in stone and like all rules have to be interpreted based on the reasons such rules exist. I am not challenging anyone, however I am arguing that this character is within legal guidelines and does not put site at risk nor deserve sniping or nitpicking. Anyway, enough said on this issue. In the future I will only deal with geriatric sex encounters.

But I wonder where are the lib gals to defend a woman's right to make her own sexual choices?

rubbish. This is NOT a poem.

Wonderful. This IS a poem.

I want to thank the controlling factors of this site as it is a wonderful thing they are doing. I understand what their fears are, i.e. based on their perception of child porno which can get the site in trouble. They assume if poetic characters are described as being age 16 then they might have a legal problem. So we changed the age of Clarissa from 16 to 18. No problema! But dear site monitors et.al. etc.; your idea of what makes a poem into child porno is not the age alone but many other factors. You might discuss this with a knowledgable attorney and get up to date, but as one who loves you, I mean no harm and will abide by your rules even if they are not serving you or the reader in a logical way. As we would say in Belfast, "it's your soccer ball so you can make the rules.." And as a young, I mean, as an old lady once said to me after a good fucking, "I am so grateful!"
