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.
ZANE
Dear G. Spot
Lovemaking seems all too absurd when described.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
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
Sex can sometimes become the most horrible of tasks.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
I don't write about sex because it's not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it's not my subject, and I don't want anyone I've had sex with to write about it. Plus, you're in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you're writing about. I'm 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that.
DAVID SEDARIS
interview, Bohemian, June 2009
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
People take sex far too seriously.

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 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 Mountebank
Seen through the glow of a building orgasm, a woman seems to blaze with angelic glory.
LARRY NIVEN

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
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.

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
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
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.

The worst sex I've ever had has always been great.
VINCE MCMAHON

Sex is a momentary itch, love never lets you go.
