The fact that people are known for saying "don't stop" during sex.... it's obvious that this isn't about rape. and the fact that cummings has had numerous affairs and marriages, it's also pretty obvious that this could be about one of his affairs.
I read this poem for the first time in my english class, and i didn't understand a bit of it. Then i actually read it, it's amazing how cummings can make you feel while reading these short 4 line, 8 stanzas. it makes you look at things so much differently.

this poem is about a man cheating on his wife. The women is being coy and is nervous to get caught but the man just wants an affair.
they are not in love, and no one is raped
is a hot poem but the basic meaning of it is basic and deceitful

Read the poem three time first, then comment about! This poem is not about rape, its more about him trying to get the woman to make love or sex with him. In the first stanza, he asking if he can feel on her. Than in the 2nd stanza, he asks her again if he can touch her and she says why not. Then later on she tells him not to stop and go slower. The last thing she says he is divine. Divine means: godlike; characteristic of or befitting a deity. So why would people think it's about rape??? Now everyone have a nice day.
