Sex makes you get real.
PAMELA ANDERSON

Sex: a sweet poison only to the withered, but to the lion-willed the great cordial and the reverently reserved wine of wines.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Sexual arousal is no more than a flow of chemicals to certain nerve endings.

It's been a long day. I need one of those hugs that turns into sex.

Sex is like bridge, if you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.
MAE WEST

The caresses over which love presides are always pure.
HONORÉ DE BALZAC
Physiology of Marriage
We have already to some extent separated the biological function of sex from its communication, sensual and recreational purposes. You can certainly have sex without having babies, and you can even have babies without having sex. In virtual reality we will have even more freedom to experiment.

"Reinvent Yourself", Playboy, April 19, 2016
At this moment we are as close as people can ever hope to be. Our hearts have beaten together, our bodies have merged. Right now I know what love is. I know how it feels to be not completely alone. Right now I know you as I have never known anybody else.
PETER ABRAHAMS
A Night of Their Own
Can a woman not keep her lover without she study to always please him with pleasure? Pew! then let her give up the game. Or shall my lover think with pleasing of me to win me indeed? Faugh! he payeth me then; doth he think I am for hire?
ERIC RUCKER EDDISON
Mistress of Mistresses
When once the woman has tempted us, and we have tasted the forbidden fruit, there is no such thing as checking our appetites, whatever the consequences may be.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
letter to Mrs. Richard Stockton, September 2, 1783
I don't know the question, but sex is definitely the answer.
WOODY ALLEN
attributed, Punchlines: The Case for Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Humor
The imagination of a eunuch dwells more and longer upon the material of love than that of man or woman ... supplying, so far as he can, by speculation, the place of pleasures he can no longer enjoy.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
journal, April 4, 1831
The original sexual revolution was a tour de force, a huge success that came from what at first glance looks like a bad idea. Why bad? Because it risked losing valuable information. A successful bacterium, reproducing asexually, passes on its exact genetic makeup (absent the occasional mutation) to its offspring. But if an organism reproduces sexually, its genes are scrambled with those of its mate in order to produce the offspring's genes, a process called recombination. Because each half of this offspring's genes came from a different parent, and because of the scrambling process, no matter how successful either parent's unique combination of genes, the offspring's genome will not be the same as that parent's. Sexual reproduction has never passed on a full winning combination intact. Sex messes with success.

To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
You mustn't force sex to do the work of love or love to do the work of sex.
