Who is the audience for Sonnet 18?
The audience for the original poem which became represented as Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 was probably the young aristocrat who appears to be the addressee of Sonnets 1-17 (and many others of Shakespeare's Sonnets). The main audience for its published replication(s) is that group of persons who love beautiful poetry.There is strong evidence to show that the aristocrat was Henry Wriothesley, third Earl of Southampton, who was the dedicatee of Shakespeare's two long poems, Venus & Adonis and Lucrece.

What is your mistress eyes sonnet 130 William's shakespeare about?
In the 1590's (when Shakespeare almost certainly wrote his sonnets - though they were not published until 1609) there was a huge fashion for sonnets which said how your girlfriend looked like a beautiful sunrise / expensive jewellery / a million dollars ..... In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare says: "The woman I love doesn't look like the sun, or precious coral, or a plucked rose. She looks like a woman. This is why I love her." The sonnet is basically saying: "The way I feel about the woman I love is between me and her: mind your own business." It is a love poem for grow-ups.

When were the sonnets first published?
Shakespeare's Sonnets were first published in 1609, by the London printer Thomas Thorpe. Sonnets 138 and 144 had appeared earlier, in the 1599 anthology The Passionate Pilgrim. The fashion for sonnets lasted from about 1580 until the very early 1600's - and for those twenty years sonnets were as cool and hip as rap is today. So by publishing in 1609, Shakespeare's sonnets had missed the boom years. But there are many references to sonnets written by Shakespeare much earlier than this (and we can see from the subject matter of many of the sonnets that they must have been written long before they were published). So it looks like Shakespeare's sonnets were originally passed round by hand, and only published as an afterthought (after Shakespeare had already become the most famous living playwright).
