quotations about sex
The only sea I saw
Was the seesaw sea
With you riding on it.
Lie down, lie easy.
Let me shipwreck in your thighs.

Sex can keep you fit. Quickies of 20 minutes weekly mean 7,500 calories annually, that's as much as you consume jogging 120km. A sex session can burn about 200 calories. This is like running 15 minutes on a treadmill.

Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"

Nothing But the Girl
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
Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream.
PAOLO BACIGALUPI
The Windup Girl
Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
WOODY ALLEN
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
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 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.

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
ANATOLE FRANCE
Heretic's Handbook of Quotations
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.

Food has it over sex for variety. Hedonistically, gustatory possibilities are much broader than copulatory ones.
JOSEPH EPSTEIN
Familiar Territory
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
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.

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
It's one thing to shoot a man, quite another to cast aspersions upon his lovemaking skills.

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
Sometimes sex is beautiful. More often, it is fun; funny; dangerous; dull; lethal; exciting enough to wilt crabgrass, and, for far too many practitioners, a chore quite comparable to taking out the garbage.
PHIL MUSICK
Pittsburgh Places, Pittsburgh People
Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
DON DELILLO
Cosmopolis
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

My springs is getting rusty, sleeping single like I do.
