quotations about sex
Sex is an emotion in motion.
MAE WEST
attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
I don't write about sex because it's not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it's not my subject, and I don't want anyone I've had sex with to write about it. Plus, you're in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you're writing about. I'm 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that.
DAVID SEDARIS
interview, Bohemian, June 2009
Food has it over sex for variety. Hedonistically, gustatory possibilities are much broader than copulatory ones.

When sex is readily available, it becomes far less of an issue. The anxiety of deprivation is gone, the dread of making excuses is gone; the guilt of withholding is gone. Talk about a great way to improve your relationship without talking!

Vacation sex. So much better than home sex. Yeah. Because ... there's no pressure on the guy. Even if he doesn't perform that well, she's still on vacation.
RAY ROMANO

If people get all the sex they can handle, they're so happy and content they just sit around and smile. I mean, you never feel aggressive just after you've gotten laid, right? Lots of sex for everybody, that's a solution to the world's problems.
TED TURNER
Playboy, August 1978
Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.

Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
Lovemaking seems all too absurd when described.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
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.

Multi-tasking during sex should not be an option.

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

"People reveal the one thing they don't like about having sex", The HealthSite, September 18, 2017
I respect you ... and your views. I think of you as an equal. I respect your brains, and all those big words you like to use. But I also want to rip your clothes off and have sex with you until you scream and cry and see God.
LISA KLEYPAS
Smooth Talking Stranger
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
Good sex is an all-day affair. You can't treat your wife like a servant and expect her to be eager to sleep with you at night. Your wife's sexual responsiveness will be determined by how willingly you help out with the dishes, the kids' homework, or that leaky faucet that drips throughout the night.
