Exactly how steamy is this poem?
PG-13
Let's be honest. "Christabel" deals with what the movie industry would call "adult themes."
However, it does so in a fairly tasteful way. Sure, there's a really steamy lesbian sex scene at the end of the first part, but that may all just happen in our dirty little minds. After all, the only thing the speaker tells us about is two naked women slipping under the covers together—end scene. For all we know, they could be playing chess with flashlights under there. Still, Coleridge sure does imply that there's some serious hanky-panky going on by having Christabel do the walk of shame in her head the next day.
