Safe Sex by Donald Hall

In Donald Hall's poem "Safe Sex," two lovers portray a relationship without love, and therefore they dodge the negative results that love brings. Hall uses words such as "frenzy," "betrayals," and "humiliation" in order to verify that a loveless relationship is safe. The last line, however, describes real love as being a matter of life and death. Hall describes a loveless relationship as lifeless, because in life there are ups and downs and there are bound to be some disappointments, but also great rewards in returns.

Sex and the City Quote: "I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love." -Carrie Bradshaw
