Quote by Amia Srinivasan

“As of September 2020, the British mandatory curriculum broadened to include same-sex relationships, sexual assault and 'porn literacy,' and parents will no longer be able to opt-out their children once they reach the age of fifteen. A petition with more than 118,000 signatures protested against the change, insisting that it was the parents' 'fundamental right to teach their child' about sex. What these parents are missing is that their children are already being taught about sex, and not by them.”

“While the romantic can look a little soppy and self-absorbed, the true lover has a healthy, robust, earthy, strong, and loving attractor field that automatically asks for a like response in their partner. Do not underestimate the capacity of your partner to grow through the intimacy of sexual union. Both men and women need to be strong, confident, forthright, kind, gentle and nurturing. In the bedroom, three are present—the partners and the Divine. Use the openness and vulnerability of the sexual arena to grow closer to God and give that same gift to your loved one.”

“섹스를 하면 힘이 빠지고, 그 다음엔 행복감에 젖어서 무엇에게든 욕을 하거나 저주하고 싶은 마음이 들지 않게 되는데, 그들은 그런 상태를 용납할 수 없다는 거예요. 그들은 사람들이 언제나 정력으로 똘똘 뭉쳐 있기를 원해요. 행진을 하고, 함성을 지르고, 깃발을 흔드는 것들은 모두 섹스의 변종일 뿐이에요. 행복감을 느끼면 뭣 하러 '빅 브라더'나 '삼 개년 계획'이나 '이 분 증오'나 그 밖의 썩어빠진 그들의 의식에 그처럼 열을 올리겠어요?”

“Oh, I need help—Bernice, Bernice. The touch of your hand on my face is telegraphed all over me. Can’t you see I’m half-crazed? You’ve got to get me out of this state—” She laughed a little, and then she said, “How am I to blame? It’s in you, and in all of them, to torture the life out of some poor girl. And because you came across me, you react like a caged chimpanzee, and then try to tell me I got you into the state you’re in. That's a laugh!”
