Ever since I discovered that my god given male member was going to give me no peace, I decided to give it no rest in return.
It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulse that could give the name of the fair sex to that undersized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race.
Sex doesn't have to be taught. It's something most of us are born with.
Sex is not the problem [Lust is]
Sex is the root of which intuition is the foliage and beauty is the flower.
If priests were allowed to marry, if this would be an optional thing, and if he could have wife and children, he would certainly have less temptation to satisfy certain sexual impulses with minors.
The sexual impulse is to me neither a low degrading thing nor something extremely sacrosanct and holy. I regard it as a fundamentally normal, clean, lifeful instinct.
This was a very modern and unusual view of sex at that time.
At the present day the crude theory of the sexual impulse held on one side, and the ignorant rejection of theory altogether on the other side, are beginning to be seen as both alike unjustified.
It’s the strangest thing about this church - it is obsessed with sex, absolutely obsessed. Now they will say we, with our permissive society and rude jokes, are obsessed. No, we have a healthy attitude. We like it, it’s fun, it’s jolly; because it’s a primary impulse it can be dangerous and dark and difficult. It’s a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting. The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese, and that in erotic terms is the Catholic church in a nutshell.
When you are feeling very passionate, lust, sex takes over. Just try to be tranquil in the breathing, and you feel sex has disappeared.
I don't think of sex as a self-destructive impulse.
In sex, man is driven into the very abyss which he flees. He makes a voyage to non-being and back.
It is sexual energy which governs the structure of human feeling and thinking.
There can be no sexual love without lust; but, on the other hand, until the currents of lust in the organism have been irradiatedas to affect other parts of the psychic organism--at the least the affections and the social feelings--it is not yet sexual love. Lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. But it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.
I had a mad impulse to throw you down on the lunar surface and commit interstellar perversion with you.
I know what it's like to have an inflated libido.
