We are sexual beings   

• Sex expression is as vital a factor in human life as food and air. Emma Goldman
• 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
• The cry of flesh calling to flesh must be the strongest thing in the world. William Gay
• What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster. John Steinbeck, East of Eden
• 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. Emma Goldman
• Hey, God made us sexual creatures. If he wanted teenagers to wait that long, he would have made puberty start at twenty- five. Natasha Friend
• Sexuality (humorous), Seduction,  Lust,  Desire,  Passion

.

Sex is totally natural   

• Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature. Marilyn Monroe
• We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it’s a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift. Marilyn Monroe
• 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 is a natural function. You can’t make it happen, but you can teach people to let it happen. William H. Masters
• Great sex is a natural drug. Toba Beta
• Chastity is the most unnatural of the sexual perversions.  Remy de Gourmont
• If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many books on how to do it. Bette Midler
• The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform. Alfred Kinsey
• The natural thing, my lord, men and women joined. Homer, The Iliad
• 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, Summa Contra Gentiles
• Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex. Havelock Ellis
• I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy. Steve Martin

.

However, many of us tend to be inhibited in this area   

• Something is wrong here: sex has been with us since the human race began its existence, yet I would estimate that 90 percent of human beings still suffer enormous inhibitions in this area. Xaviera Hollander
• I think it is funny that we were freer about sexuality in the 4th century B.C. It is a little disconcerting. Angelina Jolie
• In the twentieth century, nowhere on Earth was sex so vigorously suppressed as in America—and nowhere else was there such a deep interest in it. Robert A. Heinlein

.

Sex is a big deal and an important part of life   

• Sex, sexual dynamics and how we define our sexuality, is one of the major deals in everyone’s life. Molly Parker
• The omnipresent process of sex, as it is woven into the whole texture of our man’s or woman’s body, is the pattern of all the process of our life. Havelock Ellis
• We thought sex was free. Sex is not free. There’s a price to be paid emotionally, physically, even legally. Sex isn’t a casual thing. It’s a huge thing. William H. Macy
• Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex. Havelock Ellis
• I write about sex because often it feels like the most important thing in the world. Jeanette Winterston

Sex is one of life’s greatest gifts to us all …   

• 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
• Sexuality is the lyricism of the masses. Charles Baudelaire
• 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
• I don’t see why human people make such a heavy trip out of sex. It isn’t anything complex, it is simply the best thing in life, even better than food. Robert A. Heinlein
• Sex is a two-way treat. Franklin P. Jones
• Life is a gift

.

… something that helps us to find the opposite sex enchanting   

• Sex is all the enchantment required. Do men find women so enchanting once the sex is taken out? Does anyone find anyone that enchanting unless they have sexual business with them? Who else are you enchanted by? Nobody. Philip Roth
• I think men talk to women so they can sleep with them and women sleep with men so they can talk to them. Jay McInerney
• 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, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill.  Henry Louis Mencken
• Don’t have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them. Steve Martin

.

Sex is about much more than sex …   

• Sex is hardly ever just about sex. Shirley MacLaine
• That’s what Jamie didn’t understand: it was never just sex. Even the fastest, dirtiest, most impersonal screw was about more than sex. It was about connection. It was about looking at another human being and seeing your own loneliness and neediness reflected back. It was recognising that together you had the power to temporarily banish that sense of isolation. It was about experiencing what it was to be human at the basest, most instinctive level. How could that be described as just anything? Emily Maguire
• Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power. Oscar Wilde

.

… and about far more than procreation   

• 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
• By separating the function of adaptation from the function of maintaining the integrity of individual genes, sex allows much greater diversity while still keeping genes whole. Sex is not only fun, it is good engineering practice. Seth Lloyd

.

Sex can be many different things

• 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

.

Sex can be a deeply spiritual act …   

• Sex is a flame which uncontrolled may scorch; properly guided, it will light the torch of eternity. Joseph Fetterman
• Spiritualizing sex is actually a movement of energy—feeling and emotion—that rises within you and moves into your sexual physicality as an alive, tender, erotic, or passionate expression. Your bodies move without inhibition so all the energy can flow out of you and between the two of you. You allow spiritual energy to express its dance through you. Sexuality can be a profound demonstration of your love, and especially your freedom, to express and bond. Spiritual sex, then, combines how you express your love with the intentions or blessings you bring to your partnership. Alexandra Katehakis
• 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
• When we touch the place in our lives where sexuality and spirituality come together, we touch our wholeness and the fullness of our power, and at the same time our connection with a power larger than ourselves. Judith Plaskow
• Spirituality

.

… a form of sacred energy …   

• Sexual energy between two people is a primal force comprised of power (energy that moves toward another) and virtue (knowing the energy between the two is right). Alexandra Katehakis
• Sex is energy. Beatrice Wood

.

… a form of meditation and prayer …   

• Its time we saw sex as the truly sacred art that it is. A deep meditation, a holy communion and a dance with the force of creation. Marcus Allen
• The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer. Marcus Aurelius
• Like meditation or prayer, sex should be a special time of practicing opening your heart and giving love fully, into and through your partner, and in communion with that which you hold most sacred. David Deida
• 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
• Meditation,  Prayer

.

… a way to connect deeply with God and your partner …   

• When your heart is open and you are making love, there is no separation between you, your partner and God. This is healing sex.  This is connecting with the Divine.  And the important thing to develop is the sense that this sacred experience is available in all instants.  It is not limited to sex. Philip Smith
• God has given you these desires … He gives us carnal love for a purpose, for mutual delight, to produce children, and the sanctification of the soul. Cast yourself headlong on God’s love, begging His grace to help you in the perfection of the nature He gave you. To love another so deeply that we seek union with the beloved, by that to bring an immortal soul into this world and care for and shape it … that is to imitate God Himself in His splendor! S. M. Stirling
• I felt an angel’s possessing grip, the flames / rising from your skin, / the shadow of the divine. Edward Hirsch
• The way you make love / is the way God will be with you. Rumi, The Book of Love
• Connection

.

… a way to glimpse the unity and interconnectedness of all things …   

• The beauty and wisdom of Tantra is that it enhances sexuality as a doorway to the “ecstatic mind of great bliss”. Truly, at the peak of orgasm, we pierce through the illusion of fragmentation and separation, and glimpse the unity and interconnectedness of all beings. And through the other–our partner–we fall in love with life.  Margot Anand
• A good orgasm is satisfying, but a great orgasm can be a revelation of your deepest being, unfolding the truth of who you are in ecstatic communion with your lover. David Deida
• Sexual union is a holy moment in which a part of Heaven flows into the Earth. James Redfield
• 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. Now, why do I want more of it? Because, everywhere else I am in conflict, everywhere else, at all the different levels of existence, there is the strengthening of the self. Economically, socially, religiously, there is the constant thickening of self-consciousness, which is conflict. After all, you are self-conscious only when there is conflict. Self-consciousness is in its very nature the result of conflict. So, everywhere else we are in conflict. In all our relationships with property, with people, and with ideas there is conflict, pain, struggle, misery; but in this one act there is complete cessation of all that. Naturally you want more of it because it gives you happiness, while all the rest leads you to misery, turmoil, conflict, confusion, antagonism, worry, destruction; therefore, the sexual act becomes all-significant, all-important. Jiddu Krishnamurti
• Connectedness,  Oneness

Sex can be deeply meaningful   

• Sex isn’t good unless it means something. It doesn’t necessarily need to mean “love” and it doesn’t necessarily need to happen in a relationship, but it does need to mean intimacy and connection…There exists a very fine line between being sexually liberated and being sexually used. Laura Sessions Stepp
• Sex is. There is nothing more to be done about it. Sex builds no roads, writes no novels and sex certainly gives no meaning to anything in life but itself. Gore Vidal
• 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
• Meaning

.

Sex can be a magical mystery   

• Sexual love is the most stupendous fact of the universe, and the most magical mystery our poor blind senses know. Amy Lowell
• I lose my respect for the man who can make the mystery of sex the subject of a coarse jest, yet when you speak earnestly and seriously on the subject, is silent. Henry David Thoreau
• Sex is great until you die, but it’s never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery. David Duchovny
• Magic,  Mystery

.

Sex can be beautiful and mystical   

• Sex is a discovery. Fannie Hurst
• Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way. David Lynch
• To see and feel one’s beloved naked for the first time is one of life’s pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes. Dan Simmons
• 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
• We made love. How pedestrian the words look–trite, worn, practically featureless with use–but how can one better describe that which happens when it happens? that creation? that magic blending? I might say we became figures in a mesmerized dance before the rocking talisman of the moon, starting slow, so slow … a pair of feathers drifting through clear liquid substance of sky … gradually accelerating, faster and faster and finally into photon existence of pure light … as my whole straining body burst like fluid electricity into hers. Ken Kesey
• The main thing to remember is that making love is at once the silliest and the most sacred act humans can perform. Patricia Briggs, Dragon Blood
• The first time someone else touched me with the intent to pleasure, I fell in love. Not with that person, but with the act itself. Such intimacy and accord. Even with the awkwardness of first time lovers there was a grace and purity, carnal and beautiful that I knew from that moment on I could never live without. Fiona Zedde
• Beauty

.

Sex can be pleasurable and joyful   

• So sweet and delicious do I become, when I am in bed with a man who, I sense, loves and enjoys me, that the pleasure I bring excels all delight, so the knot of love, however tight it seemed before, is tied tighter still. Veronica Franco
• As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind, so sex with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. Helen Keller
• Sex was like Disneyland to her: an allotment of organized wonders and legal mischief. Martin Amis
• Pleasure,  Joy

.

Sex can be deeply healing   

• When your heart is open and you are making love, there is no separation between you, your partner and God. This is healing sex.  This is connecting with the Divine.  And the important thing to develop is the sense that this sacred experience is available in all instants.  It is not limited to sex. Philip Smith
• Much healing can occur through the sexual act with a person you love and trust if the two of you can stay with each other during your most vulnerable moments. You enter into a sacred space, this unknown territory, from which you’ll emerge into new and unexpected states of being. Alexandra Katehakis
• 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
• An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away. Mae West
• Sex pretty much cures everything. Chuck Palahniuk
• Healing

.

Sex can be deeply passionate   

• Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn’t sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim. Paulo Coelho
• Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken. Simone de Beauvoir
• Passion

.

Sex can be full of emotion   

• Sex is always about emotions. Good sex is about free emotions; bad sex is about blocked emotions. Deepak Chopra
• Sex is an emotion in motion. Mae West
• We thought sex was free. Sex is not free. There’s a price to be paid emotionally, physically, even legally. Sex isn’t a casual thing. It’s a huge thing. William H. Macy
• Spiritualizing sex is actually a movement of energy—feeling and emotion—that rises within you and moves into your sexual physicality as an alive, tender, erotic, or passionate expression. Alexandra Katehakis
• The important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself. Gore Vidal
• If you want to expand sexual bliss as fully as possible, remember that your emotional disposition is far more important than the technical exercises themselves. David Deida
• 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
• Emotion

.

Sex can be calming and relaxing   

• Sex increases levels of endorphins, those mood-boosting chemicals in the brain, and it’s one of the best total-body relaxers around. Louanne Cole Weston
• 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
• Calmness,  Relaxation

.

Sex can be deliciously down and dirty   

• Is sex dirty? Only if it’s done right. Woody Allen
• The secret to a good marriage, as far as I am concerned, is a joke I make: Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty. Michael J. Fox
• Sex is only a three-letter word so how can it be dirty? Erma Bombeck
• I thank God I was raised Catholic, so sex will always be dirty. John Waters
• I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty. George Burns
• A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. Jules Carlysle
• How did sex come to be thought of as dirty in the first place? God must have been a Republican. Will Durst

.

Sex can be kinky and even perverted …   

• My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror. Somerset Maugham
• Don’t worry, it only seems kinky the first time.
• I’m all for bringing back the birch, but only between consenting adults. Gore Vidal
• Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken.  
• Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me!  AJ McLean
• I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats though. Elton John
• The best kind of kinky sex is to have kinky sex with your wife or husband, the person you love. Frank Langella
• My girlfriend said to me in bed last night: ‘you’re a pervert.’ I said, ‘That’s a big word for a girl of nine. Emo Philips
• The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform. Alfred Kinsey
• It’s been so long since I’ve had sex I’ve forgotten who ties up whom. Joan Rivers

.

… but not as perverted as pure abstinence   

• Chastity is the most unnatural of the sexual perversions.  Remy de Gourmont  
• Of all sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest. Anatole France
• Abstinence is a perversion. Bill Maher  

.

Sex can bring out the best and worst in us   

• Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream. Paolo Bacigalupi
• Perhaps the sexual life is the great test. If we can survive it with charity to those we love and with affection to those we have betrayed, we needn’t worry so much about the good and the bad in us. But jealousy, distrust, cruelty, revenge, recrimination … then we fail. The wrong is in that failure even if we are the victims and not the executioners. Virtue is no excuse. Graham Greene

.

Sex can make monkeys of us   

• Sex makes monkeys out of all of us. If you don’t give in to it, you wind up a cold, unfeeling bastard. If you do, you spend the rest of your life picking up the pieces. Rita Mae Brown

.

Sex can be most revealing   

• Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That’s why it’s so shattering. It strips us of appearances. Don Delillo
• Sex … or lack thereof … is at the center of everyone’s identity, and once you’ve cracked someone’s desires, you understand them in full. Arianne Cohen
• The sexual life of adult women is a “dark continent” for psychology. Sigmund Freud
• The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life. Sigmund Freud
• 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 wich we think we possess in our immediate consciousness. Michel Foucault
• Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge. Alice Walker
• Truth

.

Sex can be messy   

• Sex was never as neat as the movies made it. Real sex was messy. Good sex was messier. Laurell K. Hamilton, Blue Moon

.

Sex can be an addiction   

• Like most addictions, sex is used to take away pain or to temporarily ignore it. If you are not in control of your life, but your life is controlled by your sexual urges, then you need to seek help. Zane, Dear G. Spot
• Great sex is a natural drug. Toba Beta
• Addiction,  Cravings

.

Sex can be dangerous and risky   

• No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you’re not superior to sex. It’s a very risky game…. It’s sex that disorders our normally ordered lives. Philip Roth
• There is nothing safe about sex. There never will be. Norman Mailer
• The storm caused by our god, sex, sends us all to our ruin by the shortest route. Elfriede Jelinek
• When a person has sex, they’re not just having it with that partner, they’re having it with everybody that partner has had it with for the past ten years. Otis Ray Bowen

.

… and there are many things better than sex   

• Food has it over sex for variety. Hedonistically, gustatory possibilities are much broader than copulatory ones. Joseph Epstein
• Some things are better than sex, and some are worse, but there’s nothing exactly like it. W. C. Fields
• There’s nothing better than good sex. But?  A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.  Billy Joel
• Kissing – and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing – is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down. Drew Barrymore
• As life’s pleasures go, food is second only to sex. Except for salami and eggs. Now that’s better than sex, but only if the salami is thickly sliced. Alan King

.

.

Sex is full of double standards for men and women   

• If a man is highly sexed he’s virile. If a woman is, she’s a nymphomaniac. With them it’s power but with us it’s a disease! Even the act of sex is called penetration! Why don’t they call it enclosure?  Gemma Hatchback
• Easy is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man. Nancy Linn- Desmond
• It’s such a massive double-edged sword. It makes no sense to me, and that’s why I’m so outspoken about my sexuality. I think that women are entitled to sexual pleasure. I don’t understand what is wrong with it. It’s something that’s good, and it makes you feel positive and happy and relieved. It’s so funny because I watch these entertainment shows and they’re talking about how Lindsay Lohan dates another man and she’s a whore or whatever… and a million other women. They lay into these girls because they’re actually having a good time and being open about it. Then they do a report on George Clooney, who’s a ‘playboy’ and looked up to by everybody and how sexy he is, and how he can date all these women and he’ll never get married. It makes me want to vomit. Jenna Jameson

.

Some argue there are differences between men and women when it comes to sex…   

• Through all the relationship stuff I’ve gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures. Aaron Eckhart
• Men love mirrors. They look at themselves doing the deed and they see Rex the Wonder Horse. Women look at themselves and think they need to renew their membership at the gym. Janet Evanovich
• Desire is in men a hunger, in women only an appetite. Mignon McLaughlin
• When a man goes on a date he wonders if he is going to get lucky. A woman already knows.  Frederike Ryder
• A man’s eroticism is a woman’s sexuality. Karl Kraus
• Man can never know the loneliness a woman knows. Man lies in the woman’s womb only to gather strength, he nourishes himself from this fusion, and then he rises and goes into the world, into his work, into battle, into art. He is not lonely. He is busy. The memory of the swim in amniotic fluid gives him energy, completion. Woman may be busy too, but she feels empty. Sensuality for her is not only a wave of pleasure in which she is bathed, and a charge of electric joy at contact with another. When man lies in her womb, she is fulfilled, each act of love a taking of man within her, an act of birth and rebirth, of child rearing and man bearing. Man lies in her womb and is reborn each time anew with a desire to act, to be. But for woman, the climax is not in the birth, but in the moment man rests inside of her. Anaïs Nin

.

… such as arousal patterns   

• Man heats up like a lightbulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a flash. The female, on the other hand heats up like an iron. Slowly, over a low heat, like tasty stew. But then, once she has heated up, there’s no stopping her. Carlos Ruiz Zafón
• Seems to me the basic conflict between men and women, sexually, is that men are like firemen. To men, sex is an emergency, and no matter what we’re doing we can be ready in two minutes. Women, on the other hand, are like fire. They’re very exciting, but the conditions have to be exactly right for it to occur. Jerry Seinfeld
• Men are visually aroused by women’s bodies and less sensitive to their arousal by women’s personalities because they are trained early into that response, while women are less visually aroused and more emotionally aroused because that is their training. This asymmetry in sexual education maintains men’s power in the myth: They look at women’s bodies, evaluate, move on; their own bodies are not looked at, evaluated, and taken or passed over. But there is no “rock called gender” responsible for that; it can change so that real mutuality–an equal gaze, equal vulnerability, equal desire– brings heterosexual men and women together. Naomi Wolf

.

… and the fact that Women are more likely than men to need a reason to have sex…   

• I think men talk to women so they can sleep with them and women sleep with men so they can talk to them. Jay McInerney
• Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place. Billy Crystal
• Among men, sex sometimes results in intimacy; among women, intimacy sometimes results in sex. Barbara Cartland
• When men see an attractive woman, they fantasize about sex. When women see an attractive man they fantasize about a relationship. Alexandra Potter
• When a man touches a woman’s body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul- parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing. The man wants a sexual encounter and love is far from his mind; she desires permanence, commitment, safety, and security. Jim Anderson
• Love is just a system for getting someone to call you Darling after sex. Julian Barnes
• Women were excited after sex, wired because in their minds, the relationship was beginning. Men went to sleep because the orgasm had arrived and the relationship was done. Eric Jerome Dickey

… and more likely to want love with sex   

• Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex. Hunter S. Thompson
• And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love. Beatrice Wood
• Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it. Sophia Loren
• Sex without love is merely healthy exercise. Robert A. Heinlein
• Sex is a part of love. You shouldn’t go around doing it unless you are in love. Bettie Page
• Love is the self-delusion we manufacture to justify the trouble we take to have sex. Dan Greenburg
• Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy. Anaïs Nin
• Sex is the consolation you have when you can’t have love. Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
• Love is what makes sex more than masturbation. If there is no love even if you are really with a partner you masturbate with a partner. Slavoj Zizek
• Sex without love is an empty experience … but as empty experiences go, it’s one of the best. Woody Allen
• When it comes to sexuality, romantic love plays a large part in feminine sexual scripts. Research suggests that women make sense of sexual encounters in terms of the amount of intimacy experienced; love becomes a rationale for sex. If i am in love, women often reason, sex is okay. Men more easily accept sex for its own sake, with no emotional strings necessarily attached. In this way, sexual scripts for men have involved more of an instrumental (sex for its own sake) approach, whereas for women it tends to be more expressive (sex involving emotional attachments). There is evidence to suggest that women are moving in the direction of sex as an end in itself without the normative constraints of an emotional relationship. By and large, however, women are still more likely than men to engage in sex as an act of love. Many scholars suggest that romance is one of the key ways that sexism is maintained in society. Susan Shaw

Embrace sex in your own unique style   

• 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. Anita H. Clayton
• Part of the sexual revolution is bringing rationality to sexuality — because when you don’t embrace sexuality in a normal way, you get the twisted kinds, and the kinds that destroy lives. Hugh Hefner
• Every aspect of sex is not for everybody. People like different things. Zane, Dear G-Spot
• If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality. George Weinberg
• I’m proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It’s just another part of me. Adam Lambert

.

Sex should be playful   

• Sexual fulfillment occurs when the experience comes from playfulness instead of need. Frequently people bring their conflicts and needs into the sexual experience. When sex is used to fulfill needs, it leads to addiction. When sex comes from playfulness, the result is ecstasy. Deepak Chopra
• People take sex far too seriously. Christina Aguilera
• Play

.

Sex should be fun   

• Really, sex and laughter do go very well together, and I wondered – and I still do – which is more important. Hermione Gingold
• Laughter and orgasm are great bedfellows. John Callahan
• Sex is funny and love is serious. Stephan Jenkins
• Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing. Woody Allen

Ask each other what you find pleasurable   

• When it comes to being a good lover, a guy has to ask a girl what she wants and be willing to give it to her. Jenna Jameson
• Pleasure

.

Be open about sex   

• We don’t have open and honest discussions about the sexuality in our communities, and what we get out of that is people being unable to claim the truth of their lives. Phil Wilson
• Openness

.

Let go of your mind constructs and expectations around sexuality   

• If you don’t attach beliefs to it, sex is just like breathing  or walking. It’s beauty; it’s you. But when you  go into it seeking things like satisfaction, ecstasy,  intimacy, connectedness, and romance, don’t count  on finding them.  Byron Katie
• Yes, sex is troublesome and beautiful. And only when we drop our expectations, and know that we’ll have moments of great sex and moments when our sexuality confounds, pains, or infuriates us, will we be liberated to enjoy it in a way that’s true to ourselves. Alexandra Katehakis
• Expectation

.

Stop repressing your sexuality   

• Sexuality poorly repressed unsettles some families; well repressed, it unsettles the whole world. Karl Kraus
• If sexuality is one dimension of our ability to live passionately in the world then in cutting off our sexual feelings we diminish our overall power to feel, know and value deeply. Judith Plaskow
• 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
• It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse, physical or mental, stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be done with it; or fulfil it, and get it out of the system; but do not allow it to remain there and putrefy. The suppression of the normal sex instinct, for example, is responsible for a thousand ills. In Puritan countries one inevitably finds a morbid preoccupation with sex coupled with every form of perversion and degeneracy. Aleister Crowley
• If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost. Michel Foucault

.

To be truly spiritual does not require you to deny your sexuality   

• If you cannot face directly into your sexuality, you will never discover your true spirituality. Ancient Chinese Sex Manual
• When we deny the spiritual dimension to our existence, we end up living like animals. And when we deny the physical, sexual dimension to our existence, we end up living like angels. And both ways are destructive, because God made us human. Rob Bell
• When we touch the place in our lives where sexuality and spirituality come together, we touch our wholeness and the fullness of our power, and at the same time our connection with a power larger than ourselves. Judith Plaskow

.

Let go of the need to orgasm every time you have sex …   

• Be totally okay with not having an orgasm, and then see what changes. You’ll be amazed.  Purposely not having an orgasm is an incredible opportunity to find ecstasy in the present moment. Todd Stone

.

… and the need to fake it   

• I think it’s a major epidemic in women, faking orgasms. So many women in this world feel like they are put on this planet to please men, that they have to fake, and they never worry about their own pleasure. Jenna Jameson
• Now? I’m just another female faking orgasms to make a man not feel so inadequate. Jess C. Scott, Kylie

Thoughts on sex and love   

• Love is not the distant chord of a violin – but the triumphant twang of a bedspring.   Perelman
• So sweet and delicious do I become, when I am in bed with a man who, I sense, loves and enjoys me, that the pleasure I bring excels all delight, so the knot of love, however tight it seemed before, is tied tighter still. Veronica Franco
• Love ain’t nothing but sex misspelled. Harlan Ellison
• Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love. Bertrand Russell
• The difference between sex and love is that sex relieves tension and love causes it. Woody Allen
• What is commonly called love, namely the desire of satisfying a voracious appetite with a certain quantity of delicate white human flesh. Henry Fielding
• Everyone is having sex until they fall in love. When you fall in love, then it’s making love. Gilbert Arenas
• Ultimately, love is much more important than sex and sex becomes greater when you’re really in love. Calvin Klein
• Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go.
• Sex without love is mating, love without sex is philosophy.
• Sex is funny and love is serious. Stephan Jenkins
• Love is a matter of chemistry, but sex is a matter of physics.
• 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 two people loved, they slept together; it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience. Graham Greene, The End of the Affair
• You mustn’t force sex to do the work of love or love to do the work of sex. Mary Mccarthy
• There is a no man’s land between sex and love, and it alters in the night. We go to sleep convinced we are in one state, we awaken in the other, and murderous emotions patrol the ever-changing border. Norman Mailer
• It would be perfect if everyone who makes love, is in love, but this is simply an unrealistic expectation. I’d say 75 percent of the population of people who make love, are not in love, this is simply the reality of the human race, and to be idealistic about this is to wait for the stars to aline and Jupiter to change color; for the Heavens to etch your names together in the sky before you make love to someone. But idealism is immaturity, and as a matter of fact, the stars may never aline, Jupiter may never change color, and the Heavens may never ever etch your names together in the sky for you to have the never-ending permission to make endless love to one another. And so the bottom line is, there really is no difference between doing something today, and doing something tomorrow, because today is what you have, and tomorrow may not turn out the way you expect it to. At the end of the day, sex is an animalistic, humanistic, passionate desire. JoyBell C.

• A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.  Gloria Steinen
• Marriage is the price men pay for sex, sex is the price women pay for marriage.
• A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn’t want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing. William Somerset Maugham
• The secret to a good marriage, as far as I am concerned, is a joke I make: Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty. Michael J. Fox

• A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. Ingrid Bergman

• So if you can manage it, you shouldn’t touch your partner, except for the sake of having children. St. Augustine
• Take the Kama Sutra. How many people died from the Kama Sutra as opposed to the Bible? Who wins? Frank Zappa
• The Bible is unfortunately unclear on a long list of moral and social questions and sex is one of them. On the one hand, there are expressions of admiration for the reportedly virgin mother of Jesus, but other portions of scripture speak quite accommodatingly of polygamy. Steve Allen
• The church should just stay out of people’s pants. Alex Sanchez
• To hear many religious people talk, one would think God created the torso, head, legs and arms, but the devil slapped on the genitals.  Don Schrader

• Yet rather than calling the earliest religions, which embraced such an open acceptance of all human sexuality, ‘fertility cults,’ we might consider the religions of today as strange in that they seem to associate shame and even sin with the very process of conceiving new human life. Perhaps centuries from now scholars and historians will be classifying them as ‘sterility cults. Merlin Stone

• A woman’s orgasm is such a fragile thing, dependant as much upon her mind as on her clitoris. Megan Hart
• Vanity is having an orgasm and calling out your own name.
• 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

• Easy is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man. Nancy Linn- Desmond
• A promiscuous person is a person who is getting more sex than you are. Victor Lownes

• I’ve been called promiscuous. Not a pretty word, is it? Makes you think of the gloop that comes out of your nose or what comes up your throat when you’re gagging, if you’re trying to swallow down something you didn’t necessarily mean to swallow. Promiscuous: your face has to pucker when you say it. I prefer to think of myself as an adventurer. Charting the souls of so many of god’s creatures, and of the floaty beings that populate the land of notions. It’s a job. It’s a calling. It takes strong thigh muscles, intelligence, cunning, a good pair of boots. It takes heart, in fact. The heart to stay on. To not be defeated.  Sylvia Brownrigg, , Ten Women Who Shook The World

• Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge. Jeanne Moreau
