Whitman's fascination with the human body drove him to explore themes of both romantic and sexual love in his poetry. Whitman believed that humans should never be ashamed of their physical desires, because the human body is a sacred vessel of the soul. Whitman wrote more freely about eroticism and sex than most of his contemporaries. As a result, poems like "I Sing the Body Electric" sparked controversy within the public and some of the more conservative literary critics of Whitman's era.
