“Sex is difficult to write about because it's just not sexy enough. The only way to write about it is not to write much. Let the reader bring his own sexuality into the text. A writer I usually admire has written about sex in the most off-putting way. There is just too much information.” WayWritingEnoughSexDifficultToo MuchWrittenInformationReaderSexySexualityAdmireToo Much Information Author:Toni Morrison
“I suppose the biggest change to me is this kind of very oversexualizing of everything. Not that anyone wants to take the sex out of rock 'n' roll, you know - that would be ludicrous - but it seems that everything now, it's like the sexuality is the only voice; everything else is gone.” KnowsWantKindSeemsWould BeSexVoiceGoneRocksSexualityRock N Roll Author:Sinead O'Connor

“The direction we are going in at this moment is the negation of material goods as being important and the great importance of spiritual values and sensations. Permissiveness, if you will.

“I have really strong feelings about sex scenes in movies.

“But obviously, things have changed in many ways since the '50s, when the show is started, in terms of sexuality, and how much access we have to images of it and information about it. But, the same problems always apply. It doesn't matter whether we know a lot more about sex now or if there's a lot more access to it. The same problems of intimacy, of dealing with other people, of connecting and being vulnerable with other people, which is what the show is ultimately about, still applies now, I think.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayStillsMatterShowsProblemSexTermInformationChangedSexualityAccessVulnerableIntimacyConnectingThings Have Changed Author:Michael Sheen
“My experience of working on this show, even though there is so much about sex and sexuality, and we find out a lot of facts and statistics that are very interesting, in their own right, I found that I started talking about relationships more, and the emotions, the difficulties and the challenges. So, I became far more open about that, which I think is probably an indication with the show itself.” ThinkingFactsShowsFoundSexChallengesInterestingEmotionTalkingDifficultySexualityStatisticsVery InterestingIndication Author:Michael Sheen
