Solomon 8:9-10
It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth.
I am my beloved's, 10 and his desire is for me.
No, the context before and after this verse do nothing to make this mean anything less than what it is saying.
The whole of Song of Solomon was unexpected. Loved it though... It's a very beautiful poem.
PS: That's 7:9, not 8:9 and the preceding text makes it clear that its about a kiss.
Quote:Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9 And your mouth like the best wine!”
“[k]It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.
