quotations about sex
I admit I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.
PHYLLIS DILLER
attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes
While make up sex is a thing, it's not the best way to go about having a relationship, getting in fights because the sex afterwards is amazing.
JOHN MCELHENNEY
"As Goes the Sex So Goes the Marriage", The Good Men Project, August 26, 2017
When she's having sex, no woman remains grandiose.
ELFRIEDE JELINEK
The Piano Teacher
Sex is an emotion in motion.
MAE WEST
attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
DON DELILLO
Cosmopolis
For hundreds of millions of years, Sex was the most efficient method for propagating information of dubious provenance: the origins of all those snippets of junk DNA are lost in the sands of reproductive history. Move aside, Sex: the world-wide Web has usurped your role.
SETH LLOYD
"Move Aside, Sex", The Edge Annual Question--2010: How Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?
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 is not always a choice
lovingly made and enjoyed like
plump well-handled self-chosen fruit
teeth sinking into soft flesh in a dribble of pleasure.
Nevertheless
it abounds.
Some because it is the
truth of their being.
Some to deny, negate, sate
deep yearning, wordless, timeless.
CHRIS ABANI
"Passion Fruit", Kalakuta Republic
It's one thing to shoot a man, quite another to cast aspersions upon his lovemaking skills.
TERESA MEDEIROS
The Vampire Who Loved Me
People take sex far too seriously.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Newsweek, July 31, 2006
Last time I had sex I was so good I got a standing ovation. Well, actually, I just got the clap.
JAROD KINTZ

In a way, comedy is like sex. The more noise you hear, the better you think you're doing.
RAY ROMANO
Everything and a Kite
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"
Sex is difficult; yes. But those tasks that have been entrusted to us are difficult; almost everything serious is difficult; and everything is serious. If you just recognize this and manage, out of yourself, out of your own talent and nature, out of your own experience and childhood and strength, to achieve a wholly individual relation to sex (one that is not influenced by convention and custom), then you will no longer have to be afraid of losing yourself and becoming unworthy of your dearest possession.
RAINER MARIA RILKE
letter, Letters to a Young Poet, July 16, 1903
Love is what makes sex more than masturbation. If there is no love even if you are really with a partner you masturbate with a partner.
SLAVOJ ZIZEK
interview, HARDtalk, January 12, 2010
Copulation is spiritual in essence--or it is merely friendly exercise. On second thought, strike out "merely." Copulation is not "merely"--even when it is just a happy pastime for two strangers. But copulation at its spiritual best is so much more than physical coupling that it is different in kind as well as in degree.
ROBERT A. HEINLEIN
The Notebooks of Lazarus Long
Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.
D. H. LAWRENCE
Lady Chatterley's Lover
Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON
The Proud Highway
I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.
NEIL GAIMAN
American Gods
Sex is the ... tremulous and bewildering and nerve-racking and delicious and myriad-adjectived soul-condition ... generally known as love. Ninety-nine point nine repeater percent of the world's literature has been devoted to its analysis. It's therefore of some importance.
WILLIAM JOHN LOCKE
