quotations about sex
Sex is all the enchantment required. Do men find women so enchanting once the sex is taken out? Does anyone find anyone that enchanting unless they have sexual business with them? Who else are you enchanted by? Nobody.
PHILIP ROTH
The Dying Animal
If sex is supposed to be satisfying and anxiety-free once we are safely ensconced in marriage, how come that's when many of us stop wanting it?
DAVID MORRIS SCHNARCH
Passionate Marriage
If sex is dignified it's not being done right.
J. D. ROBB
Indulgence in Death
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
There is a no man's land between sex and love, and it alters in the night. We go to sleep convinced we are in one state, we awaken in the other, and murderous emotions patrol the ever-changing border.
NORMAN MAILER

The attempt to possess a woman through an act of sex is as frustrating as trying to possess the scent of a rose by cooking and eating it.

Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

Having sex is like eating a Big Mac, but making love is like getting a whole Extra value Meal.
ANONYMOUS
Yet this desire will never find full satisfaction outside the God-designed safeguards of entering into the commitment and covenant of marriage and approaching sex as the route to oneness, rather than orgasm. When we remove those safeguards, having sex is like taking the hard drive out of a computer, laying it on a table, and expecting the hard drive to accomplish the role it was created for. By itself, it won'd do you any good.
TIM ALAN GARDNER
The Naked Soul
Sex is natural, sex is good
Not everybody does it, but everybody should
Sex is natural, sex is fun
Sex is best when it's one on one
GEORGE MICHAEL
"I Want Your Sex"
Sex is God's joke on human beings.

It's been a long day. I need one of those hugs that turns into sex.
ANONYMOUS
I'm not saying sex is our divinity. Please. Only that sex is the one secret we have that approximates an exalted state and that we share, two people share wordlessly more or less and equally more or less, and this makes it powerful and mysterious and worth sheltering.... Sex is what you can get. For some people, most people, it's the most important thing they can get without being born rich or smart or stealing. This is what life can give you that's equal to others or better, even, that you don't have to go to college six years to get. And it's not religion and it's not science but you can explore it and learn things about yourself.
DON DELILLO
Underworld
An intelligent couple can read their Darwin and know that the ultimate reason for their sexual urges is procreation. They know that the woman cannot conceive because she is on the pill. Yet they find that their sexual desire is in no way diminished by the knowledge. Sexual desire is sexual desire and its force, in an individual's psychology, is independent of the ultimate Darwinian pressure that drove it. It is a strong urge which exists independently of its ultimate rationale.
RICHARD DAWKINS

Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.

Sex between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman.

It isn't premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.

I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
