I used to kiss her on the lips, but its all over now.

Her kisses left something to be desired -- the rest of her.

Familiarity breeds children.

Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, you probably won't either.

A man who is old enough to know better is always on the look out for a girl who doesn't.

One day, shortly after having her 9th baby, the good Irish lady ran into her parish priest. He congratulated her on the new offspring, then said, "But isn't having nine babies a little much?." "Well," she said, "I don't know why I get pregnant so often, it must be something in the air." "Yes," replied the priest, "your legs."

Men won't buy the cow if they can get the milk free.

There is no wisdom below the girdle. -17th Century proverb

This I know........I have been preaching 23 years.......I have never performed a wedding where BOTH parties were virgins.- Email from a pastor, 26 June 2000

It was the most fun I ever had without laughing. -- Woody Allen, Annie Hall

Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth and embaseth it.-Francis Bacon Essays "Of Love" (1597)

We may all be inclined to think of man's countless foolish and selfish intentions, his twisted and mischievous words and deeds. From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves. - Karl Barth (1886-1968)

The sexual reality [after the sexual revolution] was often halfhearted and disappointing, much obsession but little passion--what D. H. Lawrence had called "sex in the head." Men and women did not benefit from the boasted "revolution" as they had expected; it did give some people the free play they wanted, but it pushed many more into courses unsuited to their nature and capacities. It did not install the Mohammedan paradise on earth, although everything in sight suggested that it had. Pornography is a form of utopian literature and, like the advertising of Desire, it set a standard that brought on paralysis. When an erectifying drug was put on the market, the millions who rushed to obtain it numbered the healthy young as well as the ailing old, and women at once demanded its feminine equivalent. It was apparently not known that desire must be dammed up to be self-renewing. - Jacques Barzun, _From Dawn to Decadence_, 2000

Among men, sex sometimes results in intimacy; among women, intimacy sometimes results in sex.-Barbara Cartland

The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable.- Lord Chesterfield

It has been left to the last Christians, or rather to the first Christians fully committed to blaspheming and denying Christianity, to invent a new kind of worship of Sex, which is not even a worship of Life. It has been left to the very latest Modernists to proclaim an erotic religion which at once exalts lust and forbids fertility . . . The new priests abolish the fatherhood and keep the feast - to themselves.- G K Chesterton {The Well and the Shallows, NY: Sheed & Ward, 1935, p. 233}

Sex is the last refuge of the miserable.- Crisp, Quentin (1908-1999) _The Naked Civil Servant_ (1968) ch. 8

Kisses may not spread germs, but they certainly lower resistance.- Louise Erickson

A woman without breasts is like a bed without pillows. - Anatole France,

Sometimes in the heat of passion, the little head tells the big head what to do and the big head should think twice about it. -Lorenzo Anello (Robert De Niro) (Giving fatherly advice to his son in the film _A Bronx Tale_ [1993], Directed by Robert De Niro)

Do you not know how uncontrolled and unreliable the average human being is in all that concerns sexual life? -Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) _Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis_ [1916-1917]

I'll tell you what really turns my toes up -love scenes [between] 68 year old men and young actresses. I promise you, when I get to that age I will say no. ~Mel Gibson, The Observer (16 May 1999) -referring to Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment

Have ye beheld (with much delight)
A red rose peeping through a white?
Or else a cherry (double graced)
Within a lily? Centre placed?
Or ever marked the pretty beam
A strawberry shows half drowned in cream?
Or seen rich rubies blushing through
A pure smooth pearl, and orient too?
So like to this, nay all the rest,
Is each neat niplet of her breast.
Robert Herrick, Upon the Nipples of Julia's Breast

I am happy now that Charles calls on my bedchamber less frequently than of old. As it is, I now endure but two calls a week and when I hear his steps outside my door I lie down on my bed, close my eyes, open my legs and think of England.- Lady Hillingdon 1857-1940, Journal , 1912.

She's descended from a long line her mother listened to.- Gypsy Rose Lee (1914-1970)

[Milton's] argument is (a) St. Augustine was wrong in thinking God's only purpose in giving Adam a female, instead of a male, companion, was copulation. For (b) there is a "peculiar comfort" in the society of man and woman "beside, (i.e. in addition to, apart from) the genial bed"; and (c) we know from Scripture that something analogous to "play" or "slackening the cords" occurs even in God. That is why the Song of Songs describes a thousand raptures...far on the hither side of carnal enjoyment. --C. S. Lewis, _Preface to Paradise Lost_

For the past twenty years you and I have been fed all day long on good solid lies about sex.- C S Lewis

Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. There is no getting away from it; the old Christian rule is, "Either marriage, with completely faithfulness to your partner, or else total abstinence. -Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) _Mere Christianity_ [1952], Book III, Chapter 5

Sex is hardly ever just about sex.- Shirley MacLaine

G M: So, Mrs. Smith, do you have any children?
S: Yes, thirteen.
G M: Thirteen! Good lord, isn't that a burden?
S: Well, I love my husband.
G M: Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.
Groucho Marx, on You Bet Your Life

50% of men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe.- Jackie Mason

Continentals have sex life. The English have hotwater bottles.- George Mikes, How to be an Alien

Sex is the mysticism of materialism. -Malcolm Muggeridge

The orgasm has replaced the cross as the focus of longing and fulfilment.- Malcolm Muggeridge "Tread Softly" p. 46 (1966)

Sex is the ersatz or substitute religion of the 20th Century.
Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990) Contribution, N.Y. Times Magazine [March 24, 1968]

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out. -Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) _Beyond Good and Evil_ [1886], "Maxims and Interludes," No. 120

When the devil makes his offer (always open incidentally) of the kingdoms of the earth, it is the bordellos which glow so alluringly to most of us, not the banks and the counting-houses and the snow-swept corridors of power . . . Sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society - in the beginning was the Flesh, and the Flesh became Word; with its own mysteries - this is my birth pill; swallow it in remembrance of me! - and its own sacred texts and scriptures - the erotica which fall like black atomic rain on the just and unjust alike, drenching us, stupefying us. To be carnally minded is life!-Malcom Muggeridge, Jesus Rediscovered, Bungay, Suffolk, UK: Fontana Books, 1969, p. 3

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out. -Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) _Beyond Good and Evil_ [1886], "Maxims and Interludes," No. 120

That woman speaks eight languages and can't say "no" in any of them.- Dorothy Parker

Maybe the Lord brought down this plague", because "illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments "- In Reagan's official biography, Dutch, by Edmund Morris, the former US president is quoted as saying of the condition Aids:

GOVERNMENT attempts to reduce high-risk sexual behaviour among teenagers have had exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study. Academics at Nottingham University are reported to have found that expanding contraceptive services and providing the morning-after pill free to teenagers have encouraged sexual behaviour rather than reducing it. They discovered that sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases have risen fastest in those areas where the Government's policy has been most actively pursued. Critics said that the findings exploded the official line that the best way to tackle rising teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) was by making contraception more easily available. - STUART REID, Action on teenage sex 'backfiring', _Edinburgh News_

The reason most people sweat is so they will not catch fire while they are making love.- Don Rose

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny.
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

Sex divorced from love, instead of raising man by taking him away from himself, drags him down to the hall of mirrors where he is always confronted with self. Sex does not care about the person, but about the act. The fig leaf which once was put over the secret parts of man and woman in sculpture is now put over the face. The person does not matter. -Fulton John Sheen (1895-1979) _Those Mysterious Priests_ [1974]

A kiss from a man without a moustache is like lamb without mint sauce. -Elizabeth Weeks 1881-1950 (not her's originally I am sure but Grandma used to say this)

God gave us a penis and a brain, but not enough blood to use both at the same time. -Robin Williams

Then I suppose I should tell you about Lord Reading's recent marriage to a woman some forty years younger than himself. The London Times account of the wedding ended, unfortunately, with this sentence 'The bridegroom's gift to the bride was an antique pendant.' - Alexander Woollcott.
