quotations about sex
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.

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
He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination -- but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips if it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.

Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
attributed, Quote Unquote: A Handbook of Quotations
Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
WOODY ALLEN
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
It's one thing to shoot a man, quite another to cast aspersions upon his lovemaking skills.

The Vampire Who Loved Me
If you have fathered a child, if you have given birth, if sex is a source of healthy pleasure, thank your pelvis and your reproductive organs for allowing you to feel the creative rhythms of life.
ELIZABETH LESSER

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
ANATOLE FRANCE
Heretic's Handbook of Quotations
Sex is like riding a tandem bicycle--not because there is a lot of pedaling, but it is a skill and requires synchronizing--and people can improve. No one can do it well the first time or without practice or maybe even without coaching. Sex is also very personalized so you and your partner have to communicate about what you do and don't like.

"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 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.

Food has it over sex for variety. Hedonistically, gustatory possibilities are much broader than copulatory ones.
JOSEPH EPSTEIN
Familiar Territory
We demand that sex speak the truth ... and we demand that it tell us our truth, or rather, the deeply buried truth of that truth about ourselves which we think we possess in our immediate consciousness.
MICHEL FOUCAULT
The History of Sexuality
Nobody's sex life is such that every experience is a ten. You may have to be satisfied with regular eights or sixes and even an occasional three.

Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage
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?

"Your relationship is failing because you don't put out enough", Metro, September 9, 2017
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!

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It
Sex was never as neat as the movies made it. Real sex was messy. Good sex was messier.
LAURELL K. HAMILTON

Natural inclinations are present in things from God, who moves all things. So it is impossible for the natural inclinations of a species to be toward evil in itself. But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.
THOMAS AQUINAS
Summa Contra Gentiles
The rush of sexual attraction can act like a drug and blur our capacity for clear thinking. This can lead us to distance ourselves from our friends or even abandon our life plan for someone who couldn't otherwise be relied on to water our plants and feed our cat.

Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
