“sex has never been private and it never will be. We perform the act in private but we must be public about the connection. Sex is how we pass down worldly goods. It's how we create the primary unit of our society, the couple. ... This rule applies to gay people as well as straight people. ... The community absolutely must know who is straight, who is gay, who is married, and who is single. Without that information we make painful mistakes and lose time.” PeopleKnowsWellsSexCommunityLosesMistakeInformationCoupleGayMarriedConnectionsPainfulSexualityPrimariesOur SocietyGoodsUnitsWorldlyGay People Author:Rita Mae Brown

“Sex is probably one of the last forms of human expression to enjoy such a direct connection with nature. It might be the primary site of conflict between nature and culture. If one assumes that nature (or instinct) is repressed in a highly civilised society, then I think the conceptual dyad nature-culture is best preserved there, in the realm of sex.” IfsThinkingHumansMightLastsFormCultureSexEnjoyExpressionConflictDirectConnectionsAssumingInstinctPrimariesRealmsSiteRepressedCivilisedCivilised Society Author:Thomas Koerfer

“That's what Jamie didn't understand: it was never just sex. Even the fastest, dirtiest, most impersonal screw was about more than sex. It was about connection. It was about looking at another human being and seeing your own loneliness and neediness reflected back. It was recognising that together you had the power to temporarily banish that sense of isolation. It was about experiencing what it was to be human at the basest, most instinctive level. How could that be described as just anything?” HumansTogetherSexHuman BeingsLevelsSeeingLonelinessConnectionsIsolationScrewsJamieNeediness Book:Taming the Beast Source: Taming the Beast
“I think if you were to sever the connection between arousal and shame, you might actually come up with something liberating and socially useful. It might be healthier for us, and lead to a situation such as they enjoy in Holland, Denmark, or Spain, where they have pornography all over the place - quite hardcore pornography - but they do not have anywhere the incidence of sex crimes.” IfsThinkingMightSexEnjoySituationCrimeConnectionsShameCome UpSpainPornographyLiberatingHardcoreHollandDenmarkArousalIncidence Author:Alan Moore
