quotations about sex
Sex is like the cherry on the top of a sundae, but you need to make the sundae first, if you get my drift.

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
Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
attributed, Quote Unquote: A Handbook of Quotations
I never understood why anyone would have sex on the floor. Until I was with you and I realized: you don't realize you're on the floor.
DAVID LEVITHAN
The Lover's Dictionary
He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination -- but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips if it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.

Vacation sex. So much better than home sex. Yeah. Because ... there's no pressure on the guy. Even if he doesn't perform that well, she's still on vacation.
RAY ROMANO
stand-up routine
Sex is like riding a tandem bicycle--not because there is a lot of pedaling, but it is a skill and requires synchronizing--and people can improve. No one can do it well the first time or without practice or maybe even without coaching. Sex is also very personalized so you and your partner have to communicate about what you do and don't like.

"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 2017
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
Sex is the ... tremulous and bewildering and nerve-racking and delicious and myriad-adjectived soul-condition ... generally known as love. Ninety-nine point nine repeater percent of the world's literature has been devoted to its analysis. It's therefore of some importance.
WILLIAM JOHN LOCKE

The worst sex I've ever had has always been great.
VINCE MCMAHON
Esquire, January 2005
I respect you ... and your views. I think of you as an equal. I respect your brains, and all those big words you like to use. But I also want to rip your clothes off and have sex with you until you scream and cry and see God.
LISA KLEYPAS
Smooth Talking Stranger
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 finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
DON DELILLO
Cosmopolis
People take sex far too seriously.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Newsweek, July 31, 2006
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?
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
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
Either sex alone is half itself.
