Ancient pick up lines

[trenton]

I have been reading the bible, and it inspired to make this post. I found a weird sex scene in which a lot of old and obscure compliments were used. It is making me wonder what other wierd, obscure, and ancient pick up lines there are across history and across cultures. Here are a few I found so far.

According to Song of Songs,

How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead.

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone.

Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate.

Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. (This one was inspiring.)

How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice!

Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue

The entire chapter is like this. People will probably seem very thrown off and confused if you give them These kinds of compliments. They might even sound like insults. I wonder how they would react if they knew the reference.

Do you know obscure pick up lines like these?

The book of Ezekiel has more insights. They didn't have internet back then, so they used paintings for porn. Such artists made a ton of money.

She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red,

with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea

As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

23:19 continues

Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
