About
"The Choise of Valentines; Or the Merie Ballad of Nash His Dildo" by Thomas Nashe is an erotic poem composed around 1592 or 1593. The work recounts a sexual encounter between the narrator Tomalin and his lover Frances in a city brothel on Valentine's Day. When Tomalin proves inadequate to satisfy his partner, she turns to a dildo, prompting anxieties about masculine sexuality and female autonomy. The poem remained unpublished until 1899, likely due to its explicit content and frank treatment of desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
