You might also like Ovid's Ars amatoria, which, to my mind, is even more readable than Catullus.The techniques Ovid suggests for satisfying his/her partner are priceless and quite up-to-date. :)

Apologies for the mediocre link.
Quite brilliant. Other than a bit of Virgil, I've not delved into Roman poetry prior to this. It's simply superb, a bit like the style of Suetonius but in prose. I love it.

Well, that daughter and granddaughter of Augustus are said to have been quite yummy.

The link to the Latin translation of Meditations is dead. And I have had no luck trying to find the Latin original:
by J.M. Schultz (1802) or Firmin Didot 1840
