“The lovemaking of this biblical couple [in the Song of Songs] is clearly not occuring in the dark under six or seven blankets. This couple is very open with one another and take a great sexual delight in their communion. This delight concentrates on specifics and is not just a general approval of sex, whatever that is. The descriptions given are poetic, not pornographic, and yet at the same time, the descriptions are unambiguous, particularly in the original. Sometimes our translators have taken the more tasteful, albeit less accurate, route” (Fidelity, p. 130).
