quotations about sex
Although we may get bashful about discussing it at times, sex is a vital part of life. After all, our being here is a result of the deed being done at one time or another.

"Scientists Say People Who Have A Lot Of Sex Are More Likely To Have An Excellent Memory", Little Things, September 18, 2017
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 has to do with imagination, so the sky is the limit. If you're not doing bodily harm, why shouldn't you do what turns you on?
JACK LALANNE
interview, Playboy, 1984

Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream.

JOSEPH EPSTEIN

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!

Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
Good sex is an all-day affair. You can't treat your wife like a servant and expect her to be eager to sleep with you at night. Your wife's sexual responsiveness will be determined by how willingly you help out with the dishes, the kids' homework, or that leaky faucet that drips throughout the night.

CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
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
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

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
attributed, Quote Unquote: A Handbook of Quotations
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
