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.
