Igor Kon. The love of heavenly color (№ 303325)

About sexuality of the poet himself there are many myths and unproven assumptions. Yesenin bragged about the number of "their" women, but his attitude towards most of them were quite cynical. Some who knew his people claimed that he never could love anyone deeply, although it was made to love him. This need to be loved extended to men, many of whom had fallen in love with has the rare, truly feminine charm, the poet. Esenin clearly preferred men's society women willingly slept with friends in the same bed, sharing with their tender letters and poems.
