Perhaps he meant to say that sex is a boost towards poetic creativity? Does it applies to you? Think it’s true or no??? =)
Yes first answerer. You are absolutely correct!
He was really trying to get into my pants. Now i’m just asking all of you on the validity of such claims! =)
So why are you quoting me again? Of course it is true. I have it at least ten times a day. Ah, the mind! lol

If you look 5% as good as that picture, of course he was. And he was being a manipulative, unprincipled sleazebag.

I’ld like to see how this would look on Mythbusters!
There was a man who approached a handsome woman and said "I am the fastest lover in the world."
She replies "Oh really?"
"How was it?" he said.
You tell me. Or better yet, tell him….where to get off! You’re more creative than he is by a long shot given that you didn’t give in to that bull roar.
There is nothing like being out all night with somebody you like or love with time on your hands. Sitting on a blanket by a lake watching the sun come up in the morning with a bottle of champagne buried in the sand.
I would like to see him go the distance from start to finish without wanting nothing more than to be with you. And then thinking in retrospect of not what he missed or wanted in the aftermath, but what you both had and done together for the rest of his life.
If he gets married he will be unfaithful at the least. Or not pay child support for the kids he will have with the ladies who are dumb enough (or on drugs) to believe him as he’s patronizing them, married or not at at one time to them.
Animals have sex. People make love. It’s not the same.

Creative people needing to have sex, is in a different context, perhaps! You have a lot of sex, and without some basic precautions, you will certainly end up being very creative, in that context! Creative thinking can be helped along by participating in debates, by reading a lot, and writing a lot (poetry included!)!

To me, sex has plenty of mind games, which have to be mastered for creativity as well. The self must be conquered as well as the situations. In that regard, I believe him.
But to be honest, it sounds like he was trying to ride his name dropping into your undies. You should have let him get wound up and told him no when he started to get amorous.

I’m not one to say much but I don’t and I think I’m pretty creative. I write three to four poems a day. I think he’s just– well you know,–I can’t even write though, but you can get the idea!

Sex has nothing to do with being creative, this I can tell you with absolute certainty. Contentment adds to creativity, not sex. Unless of course you can only achieve contentment in that way, and that is usually not the case.

I believe that sex can dull the creative impulse. By satisfying physical needs whenever they arise, we remove focus from the intellect and therefore the need to express our feelings in words. This is not to say that sex is unnecessary or harmful in any way, but rather that everything has its time and place.

There are lots of different types of sex. Some are metaporical, some are literal. The truth about creativity is that it should have passion, allure, and daring, which can be traits of sex. It should be fulfilling and dangerous and scary, also sexual traits.
There should be lust after all sorts of objects and sensations, immersion in the moment, a feeling of total love and security… the fear of abandonment.
Most of all, there should be tension and release. The hallmark of any poetic moment, any encounter, any fiction or reality.
Sex in itself, in the act and in love and in desperation for fulfillment… frenzied activity and a calm orgasmic bliss… that’s great, and very provocative in its own way, but it is certainly not the be-all, end-all of creativity. There are many sorts of creativity, and for example abstinence and avoidence of closeness can have all the same traits as mentioned above. Dangerous, fulfilling, daring, provocative, alluring, fear of abandonment.
The existence of sex in its many forms can be a boost towards creativity, but engaging in it is not a pre-requisite – nor is sex play something truly necessary in any way for art. Your reaction to passion is essential to creativity, and whether you spurn one’s passion and enhance your own, or yearn for an ideal – none of things matter, you grow by all of them.
Character and personality are essential for creation, and that applies to everyone. Your relation to all things defines who you are, and sex is merely existence. We are all the result of sex. Inextricably the result of passion.
Sex is just a word, and it has nothing to do with bodies entwining… but everything to do with the coupling of souls.
Take it as you will! We all find whatever we look for in lust. Very rarely is it simply intercourse; rather, lust is a discourse between a single being. What do you want? What does a body mean?
"Sex" is excited exploration; that’s all that’s required for creativity. Let’s call it correlation rather than causation.
Cheers,
R
