quotations about sex

Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
WOODY ALLEN
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
If people get all the sex they can handle, they're so happy and content they just sit around and smile. I mean, you never feel aggressive just after you've gotten laid, right? Lots of sex for everybody, that's a solution to the world's problems.
TED TURNER
Playboy, August 1978
Sex is an emotion in motion.
MAE WEST

Well, maybe the thing most people don't like about sex is that it has to end.

Vacation sex. So much better than home sex. Yeah. Because ... there's no pressure on the guy. Even if he doesn't perform that well, she's still on vacation.
RAY ROMANO

Sex is not a service to be delivered, it's one part of a much bigger picture. There's a lot that needs to be attended to for lovemaking to stay alive and pleasurable.
ROBYN SALISBURY
"Dear Mrs Salisbury: My wife doesn't want to have sex", Stuff, September 17, 2017
Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go.
KINGSLEY AMIS
Collected Poems
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!"
SUSIE BRIGHT & JILL POSNER

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.

Multi-tasking during sex should not be an option.
BRUCE Y. LEE
"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 2017
If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private. If you attempt to suppress sex in books, magazines, movies and even everyday conversation, you aren't helping to make sex more private, just more hidden. You're keeping sex in the dark. What we've tried to do is turn on the lights.
HUGH HEFNER
Playboy, January 1974
When she's having sex, no woman remains grandiose.

Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
Lovemaking seems all too absurd when described.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
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.
DAVID SEDARIS
interview, Bohemian, June 2009
Seen through the glow of a building orgasm, a woman seems to blaze with angelic glory.
LARRY NIVEN
Ringworld
People take sex far too seriously.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Newsweek, July 31, 2006
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
Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
