quotations about sex
I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don't believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it's the end of our species.
KEVIN BACON
"The Outsider Wants In", The Times, December 1, 2005
OK, not everyone's desire is the same. No one can tell you how much sex you should want. A sexless relationship or marriage is not necessarily a bad one, as long as, here's the key, both people are genuinely happy with that. Ultimately, relationships are about fit.
BRUCE Y. LEE
"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 2017
Sex is not a mechanical act that fails for lack of technique, and it is not a performance by the male for the audience of the female; it is a continuum of attraction that extends from the simplest conversation and the most innocent touching through the act of coitus.
GARRISON KEILLOR
"Could I have been any more inept?", Salon, October 26, 1999
No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you're not superior to sex. It's a very risky game.... It's sex that disorders our normally ordered lives.
PHILIP ROTH
The Dying Animal
The only sea I saw
Was the seesaw sea
With you riding on it.
Lie down, lie easy.
Let me shipwreck in your thighs.
DYLAN THOMAS
Under Milk Wood
Baby, in a world without pity,
Do you think what I'm askin's too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms,
Share a little of that Human Touch.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Human Touch"
Every virtuous woman desires a husband to whom she can look for guidance and protection through this world. God has placed this desire in woman's nature. It should be respected by the stronger sex. Any man who takes advantage of this, and humbles a daughter of Eve to rob her of her virtue, and cast her off dishonored and defiled, is her destroyer, and is responsible to God for the deed.
BRIGHAM YOUNG
Journal of Discourses
The only surefire way to spot a floundering couple is to count the number times per week they have sex. Yes, OK, this is all very male gaze and whatever. But really think back over your own relationship history. Didn't the breakups, mostly, coincide with a prolonged dry spell? Remember all those times you've counselled friends, whose love affairs have entered a tailspin? Isn't hearing them blub "we barely even have sex anymore" so commonplace it's basically a trope? Even if you're happily hooked-up, don't you find the frequency of petty bickering is inversely proportional to the quantity of humping?
ANDY HILL
"Your relationship is failing because you don't put out enough", Metro, September 9, 2017
By separating the function of adaptation from the function of maintaining the integrity of individual genes, sex allows much greater diversity while still keeping genes whole. Sex is not only fun, it is good engineering practice.

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
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.
KATE TAYLOR
"Scientists Say People Who Have A Lot Of Sex Are More Likely To Have An Excellent Memory", Little Things, September 18, 2017
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!"
SUSIE BRIGHT & JILL POSNER
Nothing But the Girl
Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream.

Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.
EDWARD ALBEE
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
A study found that couples in their sixties still having regular sex looked between five and seven years younger than those no longer having sex.
TRACEY COX
"8 health benefits of great sex", Net Doctor, September 4, 2017
Sex is like the cherry on the top of a sundae, but you need to make the sundae first, if you get my drift.
ZANE
Dear G. Spot
Our interest in sex is no longer to annihilate it, but to educate it, to find civilized opportunities for its expression.
WALTER LIPPMANN
Drift and Mastery: An Attempt to Diagnose the Current Unrest
There was sex, of course.
Nakedness.
Wall to wall, in and out of my thoughts.
But when it was over it was her whispering voice I craved, and a human curled up in my arms.
MARKUS ZUSAK
Getting the Girl
Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
Sex has to do with imagination, so the sky is the limit. If you're not doing bodily harm, why shouldn't you do what turns you on?
