quotations about sex
When she's having sex, no woman remains grandiose.
ELFRIEDE JELINEK
The Piano Teacher
Lovemaking seems all too absurd when described.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
People take sex far too seriously.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Newsweek, July 31, 2006
Sex is not always a choice
lovingly made and enjoyed like
plump well-handled self-chosen fruit
teeth sinking into soft flesh in a dribble of pleasure.
Nevertheless
it abounds.
Some because it is the
truth of their being.
Some to deny, negate, sate
deep yearning, wordless, timeless.
CHRIS ABANI
"Passion Fruit", Kalakuta Republic
For hundreds of millions of years, Sex was the most efficient method for propagating information of dubious provenance: the origins of all those snippets of junk DNA are lost in the sands of reproductive history. Move aside, Sex: the world-wide Web has usurped your role.

Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.
EDWARD ALBEE
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Baby, in a world without pity,
Do you think what I'm askin's too much?
I just want to feel you in my arms,
Share a little of that Human Touch.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Human Touch"
Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
In a way, comedy is like sex. The more noise you hear, the better you think you're doing.
RAY ROMANO
Everything and a Kite
I admit I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.
PHYLLIS DILLER
attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes
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
interview, NPR, September 6, 2003
The storm caused by our god, sex, sends us all to our ruin by the shortest route.
ELFRIEDE JELINEK
Lust
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.

Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage
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.

Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON
The Proud Highway
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
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
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
Vulgarians at the Gate
Everyone is having sex until they fall in love. When you fall in love, then it's making love.
