quotations about sex
It's been a long day. I need one of those hugs that turns into sex.
ANONYMOUS
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
The original sexual revolution was a tour de force, a huge success that came from what at first glance looks like a bad idea. Why bad? Because it risked losing valuable information. A successful bacterium, reproducing asexually, passes on its exact genetic makeup (absent the occasional mutation) to its offspring. But if an organism reproduces sexually, its genes are scrambled with those of its mate in order to produce the offspring's genes, a process called recombination. Because each half of this offspring's genes came from a different parent, and because of the scrambling process, no matter how successful either parent's unique combination of genes, the offspring's genome will not be the same as that parent's. Sexual reproduction has never passed on a full winning combination intact. Sex messes with success.

Having sex is like eating a Big Mac, but making love is like getting a whole Extra value Meal.

Sex is natural, sex is good
Not everybody does it, but everybody should

Sex is best when it's one on one
GEORGE MICHAEL
"I Want Your Sex"
Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.

If sex is dignified it's not being done right.

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

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

Sex is God's joke on human beings.

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.

If there is a true secret to the universe, it is this ... these first few seconds of warmth and entry and complete acceptance by one's beloved.

Man and woman, love, what is it? A cork and a bottle.

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
The imagination of a eunuch dwells more and longer upon the material of love than that of man or woman ... supplying, so far as he can, by speculation, the place of pleasures he can no longer enjoy.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
journal, April 4, 1831
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
The God Delusion
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 between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman.
WOODY ALLEN
attributed, The Seven Deadly Sins: A Companion
The necessity of perpetuating the species, forms the combining principle between males and females; a principle independent of choice or design, and alike incident to animals and to plants, which are all naturally impelled to propagate their respective kinds.
