Definition of pleasure from dictionary.com
—noun
the state or feeling of being pleased.
enjoyment or satisfaction derived from what is to one's liking; gratification; delight.
worldly or frivolous enjoyment: the pursuit of pleasure.
recreation or amusement; diversion; enjoyment: Are you traveling on business or for pleasure?
sensual gratification.
a cause or source of enjoyment or delight: It was a pleasure to see you.
pleasurable quality: the pleasure of his company.
one's will, desire, or choice: to make known one's pleasure.
Nowhere in the definition of pleasure does it refer to sexual delights although sex is quite pleasurable! FYI: sensual is different word with a different meaning than sexual (i know they are very similar spelling wise)
Prior to "Instant pleasure dome" the lyric is "You're my castle, you're my cabin". Used in context dome would be considered a structure as it is defined. A castle is a structure of great security traditionally housing kings and nobles. A cabin is a place of comfort and security as well. A dome would be something that wraps around in a full 360 degree such as the sky or constructed dome either way it surrounds you in a smoother way ... maybe more sensual and femininely beautiful than a castle. Thus it could ... should be interpreted more of "instant pleasure surroundings" ... dome cleverly goes with the whole structure theme and is really spot on lyrically if you stop being perverse.
Furthermore I'm fairly certain someone of his song writing ability would just throw in a stupid line referring to a cheap sounding sexual pleasure or as one comment suggest masturbation (not sure if that person has a grasp on the English language though)
Someone of his writing caliber wrote Captain Jack, Keeping the Faith and Only the Good Die Young, for starters ... so I'm not sure where you're going with that. Only bad writers talk about sex without waxing melodramatic or being sneaky about it?
