quotations about sex
It isn't premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.
ANONYMOUS
Having sex is like eating a Big Mac, but making love is like getting a whole Extra value Meal.
ANONYMOUS
The earthly consummation of Love is either the passing bell that precedes and announces his funeral, or the trumpet that calls him to immortality.
RICHARD GARNETT
De Flagello Myrtes
Nothing was happening in my marriage. I nicknamed our water bed Lake Placid.
PHYLLIS DILLER
attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes
I wanted to drown inside a woman in the feeling and drooling of the love I could give her. I wanted her pulse to crush me with its intensity. That's what I wanted.
MARKUS ZUSAK
Getting the Girl
To hold the body of a woman in our arms is neither ugly nor shameful, but the one ecstasy granted to the race of men.
AYN RAND
Anthem
"Sex" is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.
MARQUIS DE SADE
L'Histoire de Juliette
Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.
HARRIET LERNER
Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up
We settle for so-so sex because most of us don't know how sexual we could be; we know only how sexual we are. How sexual we are has been shaped by decades of indoctrination by ... family and friends, teachers, religious leaders, and romantic partners, not to mention a society that worships a bewildering fusion of childlike sexual innocence and cynical, nihilistic hedonism.... So what is normal? It all depends on what's normal for you.
ANITA H. CLAYTON
Satisfaction: Women, Sex, and the Quest for Intimacy
Sex without love is an empty experience ... but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
WOODY ALLEN
Love and Death
The caresses over which love presides are always pure.
HONORÉ DE BALZAC
Physiology of Marriage
This of course wastes your time and the other person's. Loss of interest in sex can be like a canary in a coal mine for a relationship. Take it seriously. Talk about it, and see if there is a fix. If the cause isn't temporary or readily fixable, it can be the first sign that you are not really meant for each other.

"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 2017
Sex: a sweet poison only to the withered, but to the lion-willed the great cordial and the reverently reserved wine of wines.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
When once the woman has tempted us, and we have tasted the forbidden fruit, there is no such thing as checking our appetites, whatever the consequences may be.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
letter to Mrs. Richard Stockton, September 2, 1783
Sex ... or lack thereof ... is at the center of everyone's identity, and once you've cracked someone's desires, you understand them in full.
ARIANNE COHEN
Marie Claire, March 2008
We have already to some extent separated the biological function of sex from its communication, sensual and recreational purposes. You can certainly have sex without having babies, and you can even have babies without having sex. In virtual reality we will have even more freedom to experiment.

"Reinvent Yourself", Playboy, April 19, 2016
The natural thing, my lord, men and women joined.
HOMER
The Iliad
Why in the world shouldn't they have regarded with awe and reverence that act by which the human race is perpetuated. Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN
attributed, Leading a Human Life: Wittgenstein, Intentionality, and Romanticism
When it comes to being a good lover, a guy has to ask a girl what she wants and be willing to give it to her.
JENNA JAMESON
interview, AskMen, July 20, 2007
Ultimately, love is much more important than sex and sex becomes greater when you're really in love.
CALVIN KLEIN
Playboy, May 1984
