In America sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it is a fact.
—Marlene Dietrich

—Mrs. Patrick Campbell
One thing I've learned in all these years is not to make love when you really don't feel it; there's probably nothing worse you can do to yourself than that.
—Norman Mailer
Desperate is not a sexual preference.
—Randy K. Milholland
I know love and lust don't always keep the same company.

—Zsa Zsa Gabor
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 if only they persevere.
—P. D. James
You can't remember sex. You can remember the fact of it, and recall the setting, and even the details, but the sex of the sex cannot be remembered, the substantive truth of it; it is by nature self-erasing; you can remember its anatomy and be left with a judgment as to the degree of your liking of it, but whatever it is as a splurge of being, as a loss, as a charge of the conviction of love stopping your heart like your execution, there is no memory of it in the brain, only the deduction that it happened and that time passed, leaving you with a silhouette that you want to fill in again.
—E. L. Doctorow
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
—Shirley MacLaine
