Much of our highly valued cultural heritage has been acquired at the cost of sexuality

The behavior of a human being in sexual matters is often a prototype for the whole of his other modes of reaction in life.

To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth—I count that something of a miracle.

If our sex life were determined by our first youthful experiments, most of the world would be doomed to celibacy. In no area of human experience are human beings more convinced that something better can be had only if they persevere.

We, women, are not receptacles. Sex should not feel like a burden, duty, or chore. Sex is also not only about penetrative sex.

I have no objection to anyone’s sex life as long as they don’t practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
