Jail, ladies, and a 6-foot inmate named Bubba.
Gotta love good art.
Anyways
A recent display of interest has come to my attention concerning the sexual activities of drug addicts and poets. If you were to get my personal opinion on the subject then I'd probably go into it deeply, which is what I'm gonna do.
Shakespeare, one of the world's most well-known poets, married a girl 8 years older than him at the age of 18. So that's pretty hardcore if you ask me. 4 children too. Obviously, if he's the most well known, that would be a good way of discerning whether or not the genius has anything to do with it. It has also been rumoured that Shakespeare played around with another guy or girl (I lack the motivation to truly look into this, but if one was so inclined, I'm sure the information could be found.)
Drug addicts, as described by numerous sources (mostly movies and books), typically have one or more lovers, but they are usually drug addicts themselves. I would imagine that such women would be extremely thin with pale skin, and weak limbs. This would result in (I would only dare imagine) weak and deranged sex. The details are, again, for your inclination to research. Smoking alone causes impotence so I dare not even imagine what other frailties are created from the consistent intake of narcotics.
As for the whole jail thing, I think that's only for the extreme cases and a stereotype as well. But I would imagine that such activities behind bars couldn't match to those of a poet.
So, in the end, I would have to say the poet would win due to the fact that they have imagination, a healthy vigour, and a keen eye for the romantic. This is done in reference to Shakespeare however so most poets lack his ability to attract women. I'd say it's all about stamina in this particular example and someone clean would definitely outlast.
Long story short: Stay off the smack and write some romantic shit.
(My apologies if anyone was offended by what was said earlier. Maybe in my efforts the consistent comments concerning this issue have reached a conclusion.)

shakespeare was one badass muthafucking pimp, he was in the city jamming all sorts of girls while his wife was at home in the country taking care of the kids.. also the great thing is poets can use the pick up line: do you want to be my "muse"..what chick can resist being the inspiration for a work of art.
however i almost forgot, i remembered this morning. this is the occasional case like oscar wilde, who wrote the best poetry while drinking absinthe. my hero.
here is a quote from the man himself. I swear this is the best line i've ever heard
One night I was left sitting, drinking alone, and very late in the Cafe Royal, and I had just got into the third stage when a waiter came in with a green apron and began to pile the chairs on the tables,
‘Time to go, sir,’ he called to me.
Then he brought in a watering can and began to water the floor. ‘Time’s up, sir. I’m afraid you must go now, sir.’
“‘Waiter, are you watering the flowers?’ I asked but he didn’t answer.
“’What are your favorite flowers, waiter?’ I asked again.
‘Now, sir, I must really ask you to go now, time’s up,’ he said firmly.
‘I’m sure that tulips are your favorite flowers,’ I said, and as I got up and passed out into the street I felt–the–heavy–tulip–heads–brushing against my shins.’”
hero isn't the right word but it's the first one that comes to mind.
