quotations about sex
People take sex far too seriously.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Newsweek, July 31, 2006
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
I admit I have a tremendous sex drive. My boyfriend lives forty miles away.
PHYLLIS DILLER
attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes
Well, maybe the thing most people don't like about sex is that it has to end.
BHAKTI PAUN SHARMA
"People reveal the one thing they don't like about having sex", The HealthSite, September 18, 2017
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
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"
Now that I had actually made love, more astonishingly now that I had been made love to, the fantasies were subtly undermined.
ALAN HOLLINGHURST
The Folding Star
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.

"Move Aside, Sex", The Edge Annual Question--2010: How Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?
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
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.
KEVIN LEMAN
Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage
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
lecture, "The Social Importance of the Modern School", Red Emma Speaks
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
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
Sex contains all, bodies, souls,
Meanings, proofs, purities, delicacies, results, promulgations,
All hopes, benefactions, bestowals, all the passions, loves, beauties, delights of the earth,
All the governments, judges, gods.
WALT WHITMAN
"A Woman Waits for Me"
Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.
EDWARD ALBEE
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
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.
JOHN MCELHENNEY
"As Goes the Sex So Goes the Marriage", The Good Men Project, August 26, 2017
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 without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex.
