quotations about sex
Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
WOODY ALLEN
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
If people get all the sex they can handle, they're so happy and content they just sit around and smile. I mean, you never feel aggressive just after you've gotten laid, right? Lots of sex for everybody, that's a solution to the world's problems.
TED TURNER
Playboy, August 1978
Although we may get bashful about discussing it at times, sex is a vital part of life. After all, our being here is a result of the deed being done at one time or another.

"Scientists Say People Who Have A Lot Of Sex Are More Likely To Have An Excellent Memory", Little Things, September 18, 2017
Sex is an emotion in motion.
MAE WEST
attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"

Vacation sex. So much better than home sex. Yeah. Because ... there's no pressure on the guy. Even if he doesn't perform that well, she's still on vacation.
RAY ROMANO

Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go.
KINGSLEY AMIS
Collected Poems
When she's having sex, no woman remains grandiose.
ELFRIEDE JELINEK
The Piano Teacher
I don't write about sex because it's not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it's not my subject, and I don't want anyone I've had sex with to write about it. Plus, you're in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you're writing about. I'm 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that.
DAVID SEDARIS

Well, maybe the thing most people don't like about sex is that it has to end.
BHAKTI PAUN SHARMA
"People reveal the one thing they don't like about having sex", The HealthSite, September 18, 2017
Sex is not a service to be delivered, it's one part of a much bigger picture. There's a lot that needs to be attended to for lovemaking to stay alive and pleasurable.
ROBYN SALISBURY
"Dear Mrs Salisbury: My wife doesn't want to have sex", Stuff, September 17, 2017
Seen through the glow of a building orgasm, a woman seems to blaze with angelic glory.
LARRY NIVEN
Ringworld
If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private. If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights.
HUGH HEFNER
Playboy, January 1974
According to the greater or lesser violence of your sensual passion, you have perhaps discerned some of those twenty-two pleasures which in other times created in Greece twenty-two kinds of courtesans, devoted especially to these delicate branches of the same art.
