quotations about sex
Having sex is like eating a Big Mac, but making love is like getting a whole Extra value Meal.
ANONYMOUS
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
Sex is God's joke on human beings.

GEORGE MICHAEL
"I Want Your Sex"
It's been a long day. I need one of those hugs that turns into sex.
ANONYMOUS
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
Anthem
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.

If sex is dignified it's not being done right.
J. D. ROBB
Indulgence in Death
Why in the world shouldn't they have regarded with awe and reverence that act by which the human race is perpetuated. Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN
attributed, Leading a Human Life: Wittgenstein, Intentionality, and Romanticism
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.

Satisfaction: Women, Sex, and the Quest for Intimacy
So if you can manage it, you shouldn't touch your partner, except for the sake of having children.
ST. AUGUSTINE
Sermons
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL
attributed, The Duchess of Jermyn Street
Yet this desire will never find full satisfaction outside the God-designed safeguards of entering into the commitment and covenant of marriage and approaching sex as the route to oneness, rather than orgasm. When we remove those safeguards, having sex is like taking the hard drive out of a computer, laying it on a table, and expecting the hard drive to accomplish the role it was created for. By itself, it won'd do you any good.
TIM ALAN GARDNER
The Naked Soul
Sex between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman.
WOODY ALLEN
attributed, The Seven Deadly Sins: A Companion
This of course wastes your time and the other person's. Loss of interest in sex can be like a canary in a coal mine for a relationship. Take it seriously. Talk about it, and see if there is a fix. If the cause isn't temporary or readily fixable, it can be the first sign that you are not really meant for each other.

Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.

Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up
If sex is supposed to be satisfying and anxiety-free once we are safely ensconced in marriage, how come that's when many of us stop wanting it?

Passionate Marriage
Each night ought to have its menu.
HONORÉ DE BALZAC
Physiology of Marriage
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.
