attributed, The Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
When sex is readily available, it becomes far less of an issue. The anxiety of deprivation is gone, the dread of making excuses is gone; the guilt of withholding is gone. Talk about a great way to improve your relationship without talking!

Either sex alone is half itself.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
If people get all the sex they can handle, they're so happy and content they just sit around and smile. I mean, you never feel aggressive just after you've gotten laid, right? Lots of sex for everybody, that's a solution to the world's problems.
TED TURNER
Playboy, August 1978
Vacation sex. So much better than home sex. Yeah. Because ... there's no pressure on the guy. Even if he doesn't perform that well, she's still on vacation.
RAY ROMANO

Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"

I respect you ... and your views. I think of you as an equal. I respect your brains, and all those big words you like to use. But I also want to rip your clothes off and have sex with you until you scream and cry and see God.

"Scientists Say People Who Have A Lot Of Sex Are More Likely To Have An Excellent Memory", Little Things, September 18, 2017
Sex is not always a choice
lovingly made and enjoyed like
plump well-handled self-chosen fruit
teeth sinking into soft flesh in a dribble of pleasure.
Nevertheless
it abounds.
Some because it is the
truth of their being.
Some to deny, negate, sate
deep yearning, wordless, timeless.

Share a little of that Human Touch.
