Human Sexuality Quotes

“Societies in which women have lots of autonomy and authority tend to be decidedly male-friendly, relaxed, tolerant, and plenty sexy. Got that, fellas? If you're unhappy at the amount of sexual opportunity in your life, don't blame the women. Instead, make sure they have equal access to power, wealth and status. Then watch what happens.”
― Cacilda Jethá, Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality

“The lust of the flesh directs these desires [of personal union], however, to satisfaction of the body, often at the cost of a real and full communion of persons.”
― Pope John Paul II, Blessed are the pure of heart: Catechesis on the Sermon on the Mount and writings of St. Paul

“In The Moral Animal, Robert Wright laments, "A basic underlying dynamic between men and women is mutual exploitation. They seem, at times, designed to make each other miserable."

Don't believe it. We aren't designed to make each other miserable. This view holds evolution responsible for the mismatch between our evolved predispositions and the post-agricultural socioeconomic world we find ourselves in. The assertion that human beings are naturally monogamous is not just a lie; it's a lie most Western societies insist we keep telling each other.”

“In its various forms, so far as we know them, Love seems always to have a deep significance and a most practical importance to us little mortals. In one form, as the mere semi-conscious Sex-love, which runs through creation and is common to the lowest animals and plants, it appears as a kind of organic basis for the unity of all creatures; in another, as the love of the mother for her offspring—which may also be termed a passion—it seems to pledge itself to the care and guardianship of the future race; in another, as the marriage of man and woman, it becomes the very foundation of human society. And so we can hardly believe that in its homogenic form, with which we are here concerned, it has not also a deep significance, and social uses and functions which will become clearer to us, the more we study it.”
― Edward Carpenter, The Intermediate Sex: A Study Of Some Transitional Types Of Men And Women

“These people who are always talking, reading, and thinking about sex are like singers who think more about their larynx than about singing. They make that which is subordinate to a higher purpose so all important that the harmony of life is upset.”
― Fulton J. Sheen, Victory Over Vice

“If you go back through history, you'll find that the people who have been most eager to rule, to make the laws, to enforce the laws and to tell everybody exactly how God Almighty wants things here on Earth--those people have forgiven themselves and their friends for anything and everything. But they have been absolutely disgusted and terrified by the natural sexuality of common men and women.”
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Welcome to the Monkey House

“Is that the ultimate need? To secure some agent to act as a salve, a bandage, a cover-up, concealer over the black eye, as opposed to facing the issue head on. Nobody wants to address the fist. We’d all much rather take something for the pain and make it all go away.”
― Katandra Shanel Jackson, Katandra Jackson Nunnally, Carnal Sobriety

“Sex is a metaphor for everything else and everything is a metaphor for sex as well. Because sex is a coming together of two weather patterns, two separate countries, two entities in a conscious state of potentially blissful crisis. Or chaos, or harmony. You’re not quite sure what’s going to happen, but it is the most catastrophic, exciting, and weakening thing that can happen to us. If we are personally involved in it, every fiber of our being is made self-conscious, or is encourages to unify on some level with others. We are delicate. We bring our damage to sexuality, we bring our hopes, we bring our self-image, we bring our world-image, we bring what we believe we are/what we believe we aren’t, our blind spots, our prejudices, our sadness. Everything comes out. A lot of people are left wanting, and confusing, and having the idea that their body is like an unloved apartment building; it’s up for grabs and it’s of absolutely no worth. If we feel that way about ourselves and if we feel that way about others, then of course, sex is nothing more than a lot of rubbing and some kind of release. But the more we are, the more we can feel, the more we can empathize, the more human we are.”

“a rose for empathy

can my own beauty reflect off glass
again the pain subsides like matted walls
like hospital halls like gas and pills and sass
never can I dance in balls or prance through malls

my pelvic gird’ survives tacked back intact
i sigh relieved my paralysis stops
there died before my eyes the drunk in fact
who crashed and thrashed and mashed in flee of cops

by grace i stay a higher vertebrate
in this ordered peck of vine and line still mine
my skin and brain remain not celibate
those organs large and whole and sexed and fine

the drunk fared worse in life in death in time
my paraplegia dared curse his crime not mine”
― Miles Garrett

“During the Psychedelic Revolution, eroticised violence towards the feminine not only became normalized, but was also presented as the ideal.”
― Antonella Gambotto-Burke, Apple: Sex, Drugs, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine

“A Rose for Empathy

My pelvic girdle remained whole and intact, thank God.
What a grace, me still qualifying as a higher vertebrate in this ordered peck.
My paralysis diagnosed only from the legs down.
The drunk driver and I had arrived at the same hospital at the same time.
He in worse shape than me.
I witnessed his violent death in that very moment before being rushed to surgery.
My sentence was mere paralysis.
And my largest sexual organ, the skin, and my most important, the brain, remained whole enough, if not intact.”
― Miles Garrett
