Being an avid admirer of love poems, my interest was piqued when I saw that two ancient Egyptian love poems (described as 'risque') were included here, so I read them and found that both are really good. But 'An Ancient Egyptian Love Song (circa 1300-1200 BC)' appealed to me more because it's so playful and sexually suggestive, in an erotic manner. These are the opening lines:
"Lover, let’s slip down to the pond;
I’ll bathe while you watch me from the nearest bank.
I’ll wear my sexiest swimsuit, just for you,
made of sheer linen, fit for a princess!
Come, see how it looks when it’s wet!"
Ah, how could one resist such a tempting offer? Or such a fine poem?

Ah, the undying attractions of wet linen!
