~ Sylvia Plath
Foras Road has a sordid reputation (…) Old crones sat in doorways, while their daughters were pushed out to earn money. It is intriguing that a society which is very covert with sexuality should be so straightforward about prostitution.
~ Tahir Shah
What the fuck was up with a guy like that? What kind of message was he trying to send? To Kovac, a sweater tied around the neck said gay. Not that he gave a shit. It was just an observation. But then there were these metro guys -- or whatever the hell the fashionable people called them now. Sweater around the neck, manicures, and facials. Mixed messages. He never quite trusted a guy who sent mixed messages. Have a girlfriend or have a boyfriend. Pick a side.
~ Tami Hoag
Alliance-based activism begins with the recognition that we are all individuals, each with a limited history and experiencing a largely unique set of privileges, expectations, assumptions, and restrictions. Thus, none of us have "superior knowledge" when it comes to sexuality and gender. By calling ourselves an alliance, we explicitly acknowledge that we are working toward a common goal [...], while simultaneously recognizing and respecting our many differences.
~ Julia Serano
All that you ever need to know about genitals is that they are made up of flesh, blood, and millions of tiny, restless nerve endings - anything else that you read into them is mere hallucination, a product of your own overactive imagination.
~ Julia Serano
LAe ciscexuelLE projète sans distinction sa cissexualité sur les autres personnes, ce qui transforme la cissexualité en attribut humain considéré comme acquis. Il y a là une analogie évidente avec l'évidence hétérosexuelle.
~ Julia Serano
In other words, sexualization is a more general tactic to delegitimize and dehumanize people. This helps to explain why there is often so much shame, reluctance, and secrecy surrounding discussions of sexuality, as even broaching the subject can lead a person to become stigmatized.

Freud: "Overt homosexuality in women is the result of masturbation. A woman who has discovered her own clitoris is a woman who will seek the clitoris in others.
~ Julia Willis
I'm going to die a virgin. I like the thought if it. So pure.
~ Julie Anne Peters
My pulse quickened. Was I? Gay, I mean? If so, what was I doing with Seth? Maybe I was bi. That would explain it. An open heart, willing to give and accept love wherever it came from. The feelings, the stirring, the awakening senses with Cece, though, I'd never experienced those with Seth. With any guy. (Chapter.12)
~ Julie Anne Peters
She smiled. "You did. And my gaydar never lies. Although later, I thought you might be bi." No, I wasn't bi. I was sure of that now. The depth of desire—it was unbelievable. That, and the certainty of this being right. Being me.
~ Julie Anne Peters
Dammit." Kate folded her arms. "I don't understand why she has to flaunt her sexuality. It's a private thing. She should keep it that way. Be discreet, like her sister. I don't see you out there exposing yourself to the world." Not because I wouldn't, I wanted to say. And it wasn't about sexuality. Not entirely. It was about identify. Love. Kate added, "She's just asking for trouble." I thought she was asking for acceptance.
~ Julie Anne Peters
There isn't a word for homosexual I do like! Having said that, I would never describe myself as "heterosexual", "straight" or anything else. Especially not "bisexual" (it sounds like a sort of communal vehicle missing a mudguard). I like "spontaneous" as a sexual description.
~ Julie Burchill
Prostitution reinforces all the old dumb clichés about women's sexuality; that they are not built to enjoy sex and are little more than walking masturbation aids, things to be DONE TO, things so sensually null and void that they have to be paid to indulge in fornication, that women can be had, bought, as often as not sold from one man to another. When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women.
~ Julie Burchill
I don't fall out with people easily but several female friends I have had to cut loose because they would press their unwanted sexual attentions on me when they were drunk, and, as I've said, I fancy women very rarely and when I do, they're in their 20s. It's so sucky being a feminist Hugh Hefner.
~ Julie Burchill
Now the whole dizzying and delirious range of sexual possibilities has been boiled down to that one big, boring, bulimic word. RELATIONSHIP.
~ Julie Burchill
I like some men a lot, but from the start, before I knew anything, it was always girls and women who lit me up.
~ Julie Phillips
Against psychoanalysis we should oppose the ideal of an ego which does not abdicate, and which intends to remain conscious, autonomous, and sovereign in the face of the nocturnal and subterranean part of his soul and the demonic character of sexuality. This ego does not feel either 'repressed' or psychotically torn apart, but achieves an equilibrium of all his faculties ordered in accordance with a higher significance of living and acting.
~ Julius Evola
Chez les Juifs, on allait même jusqu'à envisager dans certains cas la peine de mort pour celui qui s'unirait charnellement avec une femme ayant ses règles ; pour le zoroastrisme, cela constituait un péché sans rémission. On lit dans le code islamique de Sidi Khebil : « Celui qui pour satisfaire son plaisir touche une femme durant les règles, perd la force et la tranquillité de l'esprit. »
~ Julius Evola
In periods of decadence such as the present one, sensuality develops in the dissociated form of simple pleasure. As a result, sex becomes a kind of drug, and the addiction to it is no less profane than actual drug addiction
~ Julius Evola
Dude, you don't want to be dead. Take it from me. No-pussy is bad. But dead is like no-pussy times ten.
~ Junot Diaz

~ Junot Diaz
When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.
~ K. D. Lang
The thing that's so at the heart of Bridgerton' is intimacy and identity and sexuality - and so of course that's something we're going to have to make sure we continue with.
~ Jonathan Bailey
