I don't know about that, It's hard to have sex with a corpse, and I'd say the song is mostly about death, like a lot of decemberist songs.

The Decemberists – The Island: Come and See; The Landlord's Daughter; You'll Not Feel the Drowning Lyrics	19 years ago
Is it possible that "you'll not feel the drowning" is a sort of "20 years later"? I think that it is perhaps the pirate when he's older, always on the run and mourning what he did. Because he can't stop for fear of the Landlord, and his parents and sweethearts would have forgotten him. I also read in an earlier post that falling asleep would dull the pain of drowning.

The Decemberists – Summersong Lyrics	19 years ago
its definetly about the sea, and definetley about death. I'd say summer symbolizes happeyness and love, and it "quietley gets swallowed by a wave" meaning he goes back to school, or one of them dies. Love this song
