Anita Loos

... a bit of conversational sex makes a pleasant climate for creative effort ...

Anita Loos

Men are weak and constantly need reassurance, so now that they fail to find adulation in the opposite sex, they're turning to each other. Less and less do men need women. More and more do gentlemen prefer gentlemen.

Anita Loos

Men no longer prefer blondes. Today gentlemen seem to prefer gentlemen.

Anita Loos

If we have to tell Hollywood good-by, it may be with one of those tender, old-fashioned, seven-second kisses exchanged between two people of the opposite sex, with all their clothes on.

Andrew Sullivan

I believe that there are moments in sex that are so awesome that they actually reflect God.

I think sex is completely absurdly demonized in our culture. But in the end, however much sex you want to have, with however many people in how many ways, to be loved and to love is what human beings really want.

Andrew Sullivan

My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started.

Andrew Solomon

There is also somehow the idea that this gay thing is all just about indulgence in carnal pleasure. When I was twenty and felt that nobody could know I was gay, I was having sex with strangers in public parks. I don't think it was evil exactly, but it wasn't so great either. There was nobody particularly benefiting from it, except, I suppose, to the extent that it gave some pleasure to me and perhaps whomever I was with.

Clay Aiken

The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Reading is like the sex act - done privately, and often in bed

D. A. Carson

Sex is about timing. The world says: any time, any place. God says: my time, my place.

D. H. Lawrence

Whatever men you take, keep the idea of man intact: let your soul wait whether your body does or not.

D. H. Lawrence

Sex is our deepest form of consciousness. It is utterly non-ideal, non-mental. It is pure blood-consciousness.... It is the consciousness of the night, when the soul is almost asleep.

D. H. Lawrence

What sex is, we don't know, but it must be some sort of fire. For it always communicates a sense of warmth, of glow. And when this glow becomes a pure shine, then we feel the sense of beauty. We all have the fire of sex slumbering or burning inside us. If we live to be ninety, it is still there. Or, if it dies, we become one of those ghastly living corpses which are unfortunately becoming more numerous in the world.

D. H. Lawrence

It seems to me a purely lyric poet gives himself, right down to his sex, to his mood, utterly and abandonedly, whirls himself roundtill he spontaneously combusts into verse. He has nothing that goes on, no passion, only a few intense moods, separate like odd stars, and when each has burned away, he must die.

D. H. Lawrence

Where is the source of all money-sickness, and the origin of all sex-perversion?.... It lies in the heart of man, and not in the conditions.

D. H. Lawrence

Sex is really only touch, the closest of all touch. And it's touch we're afraid of.

D. H. Lawrence

Sex and a cocktail: they both lasted about as long, had the same effect, and amounted to about the same thing.

D. H. Lawrence

The nice clean intimacy which we now so admire between the sexes is sterilizing. It makes neuters. Later on, no deep, magical sex-life is possible.

D. H. Lawrence

Sex is the root of which intuition is the foliage and beauty is the flower.

D. H. Lawrence

I am sure no other civilization, not even the Romans, has showed such a vast proportion of ignominious and degraded nudity, and ugly, squalid dirty sex. Because no other civilization has driven sex into the underworld, and nudity to the W.C.

D. H. Lawrence

Why were we driven out of Paradise? Why did we fall into this gnawing disease of unappeasable dissatisfaction? Not because we sinned. Ah, no. All the animals in Paradise enjoyed the sensual passion of coition. Not because we sinned. But because we got sex into our head.

D. H. Lawrence

A man and a woman are new to one another throughout a life-time, in the rhythm of marriage that matches the rhythm of the year. Sex is the balance of male and female in the universe, the attraction, the repulsion, the transit of neutrality, the new attraction, the repulsion, always different, always new.

D. H. Lawrence

The true unconscious is the well-head, the fountain of real motivity. The sex of which Adam and Eve became conscious derived fromthe very God who bade them be not conscious of it.

D. H. Lawrence

There's nothing wrong with sexual feelings in themselves, so long as they are straightforward and not sneaking or sly. The right sort of sex stimulus is invaluable to human daily life. Without it the world grows grey.

D. H. Lawrence

There is a brief time for sex, and a long time when sex is out of place. But when it is out of place as an activity there still should be the large and quiet space in the consciousness where it lives quiescent. Old people can have a lovely quiescent sort of sex, like apples, leaving the young quite free for their sort.

D. H. Lawrence

I think societal instinct much deeper than sex instinct — and societal repression much more devastating.

D. H. Lawrence

The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.

D. H. Lawrence

Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.

D. H. Lawrence

In masturbation there is nothing but loss. There is no reciprocity. There is merely the spending away of a certain force, and no return. The body remains, in a sense, a corpse, after the act of self-abuse. There is no change, only deadening. There is what we call dead loss. And this is not the case in any act of sexual intercourse between two people. Two people may destroy one another in sex. But they cannot just produce the null effect of masturbation.

D. H. Lawrence

Sex is the one thing you cannot really swindle; and it is the centre of the worst swindling of all, emotional swindling.... Sex lashes out against counterfeit emotion, and is ruthless, devastating against false love.
