Rated R For Sexual Content
In today's society, no matter what age a person is, there is a common bond that links all generations together, which is sex. Whether it be the sex gender definition we think about or the private and intimate sexual union of two individuals that consists of a male and female. Sex truly has a great impact on our society because it advertises through television commercials of certain products, such as alcoholic beverages, radio commercials, magazine advertisements, phone sex, and even accessible on the internet. No matter how much we try to avoid this topic, it will be virtually everywhere in our daily lives. Emily Dickinson portrays the sexual orientation between a male and female metaphorically in her poem, "I Started Early - I Took my Dog." Dickinson uses imagery to incorporate parts of religion in her sexual fantasy. The creative imagery in her writing makes us rethink if religion and sex has anything to do with the poem's content.

I say this because the tide refers to the fluctuations of the movement of the salty waters. In essence, it could mean the sexual flow of the two during sex. This must be the introduction of what Dickinson wants to portray before she goes into detail about the undressing of the speaker. "Apron" and "Bodice" which are types of clothing typically that a woman wears is described. It is now apparent that the speaker indeed is a female because of her attire. The word "simple" used to depict the speaker's shoe then leads us to the fact that she either lives a simple life or is a simple person. The climatic peak of this sexual union is displayed in the last two stanzas. He went along with what she physically initiates and made certain that he was close to her. The speaker then indicates that she feels "his silver heel." It might be questionable of what silver heel could represent, but in this case the lover's heel is the male's penis.
