Many of my poems are not sexual.
Thom Gunn

Mapplethorpe presented the body as a sexual object, separating it from the humanity of the person. He added nothing to photography as a medium. I hold his work in low regard.
Jerzy Kosinski

Masturbation is our first and natural form of sexual activity and if that's inhibited or damaged, then we suffer for the rest of our lives.
Betty Dodson

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
Camille Paglia

Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?
Rita Rudner

Mr. DeMille's theory of sexual difference was that marriage is an artificial state for women. The want to be taken, ruled, raped. That was his theory.
Hedy Lamarr

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.
Sally Kirkland

My exile was not only a physical one, motivated exclusively by political reasons; it was also a moral, social, ideological and sexual exile.
Juan Goytisolo

My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror.
W. Somerset Maugham

My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value.
Lance Loud

No act can be quite so intimate as the sexual embrace.
Havelock Ellis

No, my work does not reflect my sexual preferences, it reflects the fact that I feel total freedom as an artist.
Patti Smith

Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless.
Jacques Lacan

Of all possible sexual perversions, religion is the only one to have ever been scientifically systematized.
Louis Aragon

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.
Anatole France

Of all the sexual aberrations, perhaps the most peculiar is chastity.
Remy de Gourmont

Of woman as a real human being, with sexual needs and sexual responsibilities, morality has often known nothing.
Havelock Ellis

One of the aims of sexual union is procreation - the creation by reproduction of an image of itself, of the union.
Mortimer Adler

One should never be sexually involved with anyone one genuinely cares for. A sexual relationship guarantees a loss.
Mary Gordon

Our sexual lives are maintained by the shadow side and the light side, so the more we can understand and embrace enlightenment, the less need there is for chemical enhancement.
Kyan Douglas
