quotations about sex
Sometimes sex is beautiful. More often, it is fun; funny; dangerous; dull; lethal; exciting enough to wilt crabgrass, and, for far too many practitioners, a chore quite comparable to taking out the garbage.
PHIL MUSICK

OK, not everyone's desire is the same. No one can tell you how much sex you should want. A sexless relationship or marriage is not necessarily a bad one, as long as, here's the key, both people are genuinely happy with that. Ultimately, relationships are about fit.

Natural inclinations are present in things from God, who moves all things. So it is impossible for the natural inclinations of a species to be toward evil in itself. But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.
THOMAS AQUINAS
Summa Contra Gentiles
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.

Food has it over sex for variety. Hedonistically, gustatory possibilities are much broader than copulatory ones.

The worst sex I've ever had has always been great.
VINCE MCMAHON
Esquire, January 2005
Sex finds us. Sex sees through us. That's why it's so shattering. It strips us of appearances.
DON DELILLO
Cosmopolis
Every virtuous woman desires a husband to whom she can look for guidance and protection through this world. God has placed this desire in woman's nature. It should be respected by the stronger sex. Any man who takes advantage of this, and humbles a daughter of Eve to rob her of her virtue, and cast her off dishonored and defiled, is her destroyer, and is responsible to God for the deed.
BRIGHAM YOUNG

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
Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream.

Research has proven that we burn 3.6 calories per minute during sex -- more than during a brisk walk.

Sex was never as neat as the movies made it. Real sex was messy. Good sex was messier.
LAURELL K. HAMILTON

The only sea I saw
Was the seesaw sea
With you riding on it.
Lie down, lie easy.
Let me shipwreck in your thighs.

If people get all the sex they can handle, they're so happy and content they just sit around and smile. I mean, you never feel aggressive just after you've gotten laid, right? Lots of sex for everybody, that's a solution to the world's problems.
TED TURNER
Playboy, August 1978
The only surefire way to spot a floundering couple is to count the number times per week they have sex. Yes, OK, this is all very male gaze and whatever. But really think back over your own relationship history. Didn't the breakups, mostly, coincide with a prolonged dry spell? Remember all those times you've counselled friends, whose love affairs have entered a tailspin? Isn't hearing them blub "we barely even have sex anymore" so commonplace it's basically a trope? Even if you're happily hooked-up, don't you find the frequency of petty bickering is inversely proportional to the quantity of humping?

"Your relationship is failing because you don't put out enough", Metro, September 9, 2017
The rush of sexual attraction can act like a drug and blur our capacity for clear thinking. This can lead us to distance ourselves from our friends or even abandon our life plan for someone who couldn't otherwise be relied on to water our plants and feed our cat.

When sex is readily available, it becomes far less of an issue. The anxiety of deprivation is gone, the dread of making excuses is gone; the guilt of withholding is gone. Talk about a great way to improve your relationship without talking!

Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
WOODY ALLEN
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Alas, alas, that ever love was sin!
I ever followed natural inclination
Under the power of my constellation
And was unable to deny, in truth,
My chamber of Venus to a likely youth.
GEOFFREY CHAUCER
The Canterbury Tales
Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
