The Celestine Prophecy
We settle for so-so sex because most of us don't know how sexual we could be; we know only how sexual we are. How sexual we are has been shaped by decades of indoctrination by ... family and friends, teachers, religious leaders, and romantic partners, not to mention a society that worships a bewildering fusion of childlike sexual innocence and cynical, nihilistic hedonism.... So what is normal? It all depends on what's normal for you.

Satisfaction: Women, Sex, and the Quest for Intimacy
I don't believe in casual sex, because meaningless sex is mad boring and frankly, in this day and age, not worth the risk.
ZANE
Dear G. Spot
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.

Each night ought to have its menu.

Physiology of Marriage
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
Sex: a sweet poison only to the withered, but to the lion-willed the great cordial and the reverently reserved wine of wines.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.

Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up
I have always found the most vociferous guardians of morality on matters of sex are those who aren't getting any.
M.C. BEATON
Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL
attributed, The Duchess of Jermyn Street
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
Life can be swamped by sex very easily if sex is not normally satisfied.

Sex is God's joke on human beings.
BETTE DAVIS
attributed, Let's Talk about Sex: More Than 600 Quotes on the World's Oldest Obsession
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
Anthem
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
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.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
So if you can manage it, you shouldn't touch your partner, except for the sake of having children.
ST. AUGUSTINE
Sermons
I wanted to drown inside a woman in the feeling and drooling of the love I could give her. I wanted her pulse to crush me with its intensity. That's what I wanted.
MARKUS ZUSAK
Getting the Girl
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
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
