Obscenity only comes in when the mind
despises and fears the body, and the body hates and resists the mind.
D.H. Lawrence
Sexuality with all its attendant yearnings
and pains, jealousies and taboos, is the most disturbing impulse humans have.
Author: John
Steinbeck
Sex. In America an obsession. In other parts
of the world a fact.
Marlene Dietrich
Sex: the thing that takes up the least
amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
John Barrymore
Sex
is a part of nature. I go along with nature.
Marilyn Monroe
A
liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.
Gloria Steinem
Sex
without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences
go it’s pretty damn good.
Woody Allen
Instruction in sex is as important as
instruction in food; yet not only are our adolescents not taught the physiology
of sex, but never warned that the strongest sexual attraction may exist between
persons so incompatible in tastes and capacities that they could not endure
living together for a week much less a lifetime. –
George Bernard Shaw
Love is the answer, but while you are
waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.
Woody Allen
Sex and a cocktail: they both lasted about
as long, had the same effect, and amounted to the same thing.
D.H. Lawrence
Sex is emotion in motion.
Mae West
Sex
is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the
sheets.
Andy Warhol
Literature – creative literature –
unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.
Gertrude Stein
Life without sex might be safer but it would
be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful,
which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they
never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human
existence would be reduced to the prosaic, laborious, boredom, imbecile level
of life in an anthill. –
Henry Louis Mencken
So as long as you can forget your body you
are happy and the moment you begin to be aware of your body, you are wretched.
So if civilization is any good, it has to help us forget our bodies, and then
time passes happily without our knowing it. Help us get rid of our bodies
altogether.
D.H. Lawrence
Women
are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think
it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their
own superiority.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Sex
is… perfectly natural. It’s something that’s pleasurable. It’s enjoyable and it
enhances a relationship. So why don’t we learn as much as we can about it and
become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all
sexual?
Sue Johanson
Sex
lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we
know how to understand sex.
Havelock Ellis
Sex
is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to
be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.
Marquis de Sade
There
is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should
be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.
Elton John
Everything
in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.
Oscar Wilde
Sex
is always about emotions. Good sex is about free emotions; bad sex is about
blocked emotions.
Deepak Chopra
Boys
and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that
they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting
talk — real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is
precious.
Jack Kerouac
The
way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Rumi
I
think it is funny that we were freer about sexuality in the 4th century B.C. It
is a little disconcerting.
Angelina Jolie
The
natural thing, my lord, men and women joined.
Homer
The
anthropologist Margaret Mead concluded in 1948, after observing seven different
ethnic groups in the Pacific Islands, that different cultures made different
forms of female sexual experience seem normal and desirable. The capacity for
orgasm in women, she found, is a learned response, which a given culture can
help or can fail to help its women to develop.
Naomi Wolf
Copulation
is no more foul to me than death is.
Walt Whitman
Women
who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in
sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.
Rita Mae Brown
Boys
have penises and girls have vaginas. If they touch at the wrong time, you can
make a baby or die.
Eugene Mirman
Sex
is not a mechanical act that fails for lack of technique, and it is not a
performance by the male for the audience of the female; it is a continuum of
attraction that extends from the simplest conversation and the most innocent
touching through the act of coitus.
Garrison Keillor
The
only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all
was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go —
never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another’s bed,
as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of
them.
Albert Camus
It's terrible, once you've got a man into
your blood! she said.
D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover
The
only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform.
Alfred Kinsey
I
am not saying renounce sex, I am saying transform it. It need not remain just
biological: bring some spirituality to it. While making love, meditate too.
While making love, be prayerful. Love should not be just a physical act; pour
your soul into it.
Osho
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
Later
I would come to believe that erotic ties were all a spell, a temporary
psychosis, even a kind of violence, or at least they coexisted with these
states.
Lorrie Moore
In
the short summer night she learned so much. She would have thought a woman
would have died of shame... She felt, now, she had come to the real bedrock of
her nature, and was essentially shameless. She was her sensual self, naked an
unashamed. She felt a triumph, almost a vainglory. So! That was how it was!
That was life! That was how onself really was! There was nothing left to
disguise or be ashamed of. She shared her ultimate nakedness with a man,
another being.
D.H. Lawrence, Lady
Chatterley's Lover
The
sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
Marcus Aurelius
Carnal
embrace is sexual congress, which is the insertion of the male genital organ
into the female genital organ for purposes of procreation and pleasure.
Fermat’s last theorem, by contrast, asserts that when x, y and z are whole
numbers each raised to power of n, the sum of the first two can never equal the
third when n is greater than 2.
Tom Stoppard
I
write about sex because often it feels like the most important thing in the
world.
Jeanette Winterston
But
when a woman decides to sleep with a man, there is no wall she will not scale,
no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she will not ignore at
its very root: there is no God worth worrying about.
Gabriel García Márquez
Books
are finite, sexual encounters are finite, but the desire to read and to fuck is
infinite; it surpasses our own deaths, our fears, our hopes for peace.
Roberto Bolaño
Women
need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.
Billy Crystal
There
is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove
my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree
or standing in the rain.
Audrey Hepburn
Sex
is a problem because it would seem that in that act there is complete absence
of the self. In that moment you are happy because there is the cessation of
self-consciousness, of the ‘me’; and desiring more of it – more of the
abnegation of the self in which there is complete happiness, without the past
or the future, demanding that complete happiness through full fusion,
integration – naturally it becomes all-important. Isn’t that so? Because it is
something that gives me unadulterated joy, complete self-forgetfulness, I want
more and more of it..
Jiddu Krishnamurti
