Just Because His Claws Are Sharp

doesn't mean you won't be sexually gratified--
in fact, it might mean exactly the opposite--you've just got to
transcend your fear--go to a safe place in your head,
give yourself a safe word if it gets too rough &
don't bite him because he might accidentally
lash back & decapitate you--but don't think about that--
think about his wild eyes & shiny incisors--
come on, these are major turn-ons--
think about his beastly physique & run
your fingers through his luxuriant side-burns--
just relax & let Wolfy work his magic--
but remember to be gentle & get him
a tissue if he cries--he might be a wolverine
but it doesn't mean he's incapable of love.
