“I like American women. They do things sexually Russian girls never dream of doing - like showering.”
Yakov Smirnoff
“Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.”
Susan Sontag
“At the heart of pornography is sexuality haunted by its own disappearance”
Jean Baudrillard
“I'm not homosexual, I'm not hetrosexual, I'm just sexual”
Michael Stipe
“People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected. Being feminine meant being a cheerleader, not being an athlete. The image of women is changing now. You don't have to be pretty for people to come and see you play. At the same time, if you're a good athlete, it doesn't mean you're not a woman.”
Martina Navratilova
“. . . full sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life mean the end of mystical feelings of any kind, that, in other words, natural sexuality is the deadly enemy of mystical religion. The church, by making the fight over sexuality the center of its dogmas and of its influence over the masses, confirms this concept.”
Wilhelm Reich
“It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.”
River Phoenix
“Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. In fact, both homo -- and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way.”
William S. Burroughs
“Sexuality poorly repressed unsettles some families; well repressed, it unsettles the whole world.”
Karl Kraus
“Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.”
Aleister Crowley
