June Diane Raphael Quotes

What I notice a lot about millennials is that they have agency over their sexuality.

I think it's a little bit taboo to have a coming-of-age story where a girl explores her sexuality. That just doesn't happen a lot.

Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.

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.

My sexuality's something that's intimate. It's not anything that I'm ashamed of.

Sexuality is a place where people are very vulnerable and can be experiencing and embodying very raw forces that they don't really understand and there's a question of how much you should control and how much you should play with those and what those forces really are, how you really feel about them. That's perennial.

The search for freedom through sex is doomed to failure.

I think a lot of young women are probably fearful or embarrassed or cautious or hiding whatever their particular sexuality might be. From the most odd to the just slightly abberrant.

Sexuality is such a taboo thing. I think it should be more out in the open, especially with young women. I think it's okay for them to explore their sexuality, as long as they own it and it's portrayed in the right way.

Sex in a woman's world has the same currency a penny has in a man's. Every penny saved is a penny earned in one world and in the next every sexual adventure is a literary experience.

I think one's sexuality can be the center of life, and coming out and discovering your sexuality is something that really can define your existence.

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up.

Human sexuality is not always about being labeled. It's about having a human moment, an emotion.

I think sexuality, especially, is one of those fluid things where oftentimes we find who we are through certain things that happen in our lives.

I am so confident and empowered by my sexuality; it plays an enormous part in my life.

There's nothing wrong with showing sexuality. If you have that inside, it's just an expression of who you are. If you want to share that with people, that's amazing. I love that.

I was like one of the boys in school who flap their legs frantically under the desk. I always had this weird feeling between my legs and I had no idea what it was. I didn't know girls masturbated. I never touched myself or anything.

Sexual chaos reigns currently, but out of chaos may flow true understanding and harmony, and either way Elvis almost singlehandedly opened the floodgates.

I think there's a level at which you think that there's a reason that you're being singled out, that you're being chosen. As a kid, I was always mistaken for a girl. Before you reach that age where your sexuality starts to display itself, kids can look very androgynous, and I guess I leaned more toward the feminine. All those things were very hard, growing up, because you're trying to create an identity, and you're feeling shameful about the one that you're making. So, I identified with it a lot.
