Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came
It isn't premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.
ANONYMOUS
Whatever your sex fantasy is with your partner, consider it normal.
HARRIET LERNER
Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up
I don't believe in casual sex, because meaningless sex is mad boring and frankly, in this day and age, not worth the risk.
ZANE
Dear G. Spot
To hold the body of a woman in our arms is neither ugly nor shameful, but the one ecstasy granted to the race of men.
AYN RAND
Anthem
We settle for so-so sex because most of us don't know how sexual we could be; we know only how sexual we are. How sexual we are has been shaped by decades of indoctrination by ... family and friends, teachers, religious leaders, and romantic partners, not to mention a society that worships a bewildering fusion of childlike sexual innocence and cynical, nihilistic hedonism.... So what is normal? It all depends on what's normal for you.

Satisfaction: Women, Sex, and the Quest for Intimacy
This of course wastes your time and the other person's. Loss of interest in sex can be like a canary in a coal mine for a relationship. Take it seriously. Talk about it, and see if there is a fix. If the cause isn't temporary or readily fixable, it can be the first sign that you are not really meant for each other.

"Why Women Are Losing Interest In Sex After A Year", Forbes, September 16, 2017
Sex between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman.
WOODY ALLEN
attributed, The Seven Deadly Sins: A Companion
I'm not saying sex is our divinity. Please. Only that sex is the one secret we have that approximates an exalted state and that we share, two people share wordlessly more or less and equally more or less, and this makes it powerful and mysterious and worth sheltering.... Sex is what you can get. For some people, most people, it's the most important thing they can get without being born rich or smart or stealing. This is what life can give you that's equal to others or better, even, that you don't have to go to college six years to get. And it's not religion and it's not science but you can explore it and learn things about yourself.
DON DELILLO
Underworld
Life can be swamped by sex very easily if sex is not normally satisfied.
WALTER LIPPMANN
Drift and Mastery: An Attempt to Diagnose the Current Unrest
If there is a true secret to the universe, it is this ... these first few seconds of warmth and entry and complete acceptance by one's beloved.
DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.
MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL
attributed, The Duchess of Jermyn Street
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
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
If sex is supposed to be satisfying and anxiety-free once we are safely ensconced in marriage, how come that's when many of us stop wanting it?
DAVID MORRIS SCHNARCH
Passionate Marriage
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
Each night ought to have its menu.
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.
RAY KURZWEIL
"Reinvent Yourself", Playboy, April 19, 2016
Sex is natural, sex is good
Not everybody does it, but everybody should
Sex is natural, sex is fun
Sex is best when it's one on one
GEORGE MICHAEL
"I Want Your Sex"
When I get down on my knees, it is not to pray.
MADONNA
