It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. The former is inherent, the other is grafted on.

There was sex, of course.
Nakedness.
Wall to wall, in and out of my thoughts.
But when it was over it was her whispering voice I craved, and a human curled up in my arms.

MARKUS ZUSAK

Getting the Girl


Sex is the ... tremulous and bewildering and nerve-racking and delicious and myriad-adjectived soul-condition ... generally known as love. Ninety-nine point nine repeater percent of the world's literature has been devoted to its analysis. It's therefore of some importance.

WILLIAM JOHN LOCKE

The Mountebank

Tags: William John Locke


Alas, alas, that ever love was sin!
I ever followed natural inclination
Under the power of my constellation
And was unable to deny, in truth,
My chamber of Venus to a likely youth.

GEOFFREY CHAUCER

The Canterbury Tales

Tags: Geoffrey Chaucer


While make up sex is a thing, it's not the best way to go about having a relationship, getting in fights because the sex afterwards is amazing.

JOHN MCELHENNEY

"As Goes the Sex So Goes the Marriage", The Good Men Project, August 26, 2017


Sex contains all, bodies, souls,
Meanings, proofs, purities, delicacies, results, promulgations,
All hopes, benefactions, bestowals, all the passions, loves, beauties, delights of the earth,
All the governments, judges, gods.

WALT WHITMAN

"A Woman Waits for Me"

Tags: Walt Whitman


Psychic health depends on orgastic potency, i.e., upon the degree to which one can surrender to and experience the climax of excitation in the natural sexual act.... Psychic illnesses are the result of a disturbance of the natural capacity for love.

WILHELM REICH

The Function of the Orgasm

Tags: Wilhelm Reich


Sex is difficult; yes. But those tasks that have been entrusted to us are difficult; almost everything serious is difficult; and everything is serious. If you just recognize this and manage, out of yourself, out of your own talent and nature, out of your own experience and childhood and strength, to achieve a wholly individual relation to sex (one that is not influenced by convention and custom), then you will no longer have to be afraid of losing yourself and becoming unworthy of your dearest possession.

RAINER MARIA RILKE

letter, Letters to a Young Poet, July 16, 1903

Tags: Rainer Maria Rilke


The storm caused by our god, sex, sends us all to our ruin by the shortest route.

ELFRIEDE JELINEK

Lust

Every aspect of sex is not for everybody. People like different things.

ZANE

Dear G-Spot


I admit I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.

PHYLLIS DILLER

attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes


Sex and a cocktail: they both lasted about as long, had the same effect, and amounted to about the same thing.

D. H. LAWRENCE

Lady Chatterley's Lover


Anything you make forbidden gains sexual attractiveness. Would you be particularly interested in women's breasts if you lived in a society in which they were displayed at all times?

ISAAC ASIMOV

Prelude to Foundation

Copulation is spiritual in essence--or it is merely friendly exercise. On second thought, strike out "merely." Copulation is not "merely"--even when it is just a happy pastime for two strangers. But copulation at its spiritual best is so much more than physical coupling that it is different in kind as well as in degree.

ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

The Notebooks of Lazarus Long

Tags: Robert A. Heinlein


I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.

NEIL GAIMAN

American Gods

Tags: Neil Gaiman


We know that many conditions must be satisfied
If a species is to last and reproduce itself:
First there must be food for it, and then a channel
Through which the genetic particles in the limbs
Can find a way out; and the female must fit the male;
There must be organs which can give mutual pleasure.

LUCRETIUS

De Rerum Natura

Tags: Lucretius


She was made for untidy rooms and rumpled beds.

ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH

The Sunday Philosophy Club


I've tried several varieties of sex, all of which I hate. The conventional position makes me claustrophobic; the others give me a stiff neck and/or lockjaw.

Tallulah, Darling

I felt an angel's possessing grip, the flames
rising from your skin,
the shadow of the divine.

EDWARD HIRSCH

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them of clay, in the way Adam was fashioned.
