S of S 7:6–9
“How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights! Your
stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.’ May
your breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath
like apples, and your mouth like the best wine.”

4:5
” Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.”

Somewhere in the intervening centuries, we decided that breasts are a sexual organ and not to be mentioned in polite company.

Soloman = Porno Christians (some) don’t like it because it’s a masturbation site. (I don’t know that for a fact, but if it isn’t it should be)

Solomon = not porno

Did you misspell as a joke to see if we would catch it? I think it’s funny, intentional or not.
