Beschreibung

The definitive collection of sex quotes! Everybody does it; everybody thinks about it; and of course everybody who's anybody has talked about it. JC Adams has put together a veritable encyclopaedia of sex quotes from VIPs of every stripe and color. Madonna, Abraham Lincoln, Groucho Marx and Oscar Wilde might not have much else in common, but they all had something to say about everyone's favorite obsession.

Leseprobe

I can’t pinpoint exactly when my aphoristic obsession began; perhaps it was elementary school. I remember borrowing a couple of jokes from The Muppet Show and trying them out on my friends one wintry morning as we waited for the first bell to call us to class. I got a big laugh, even though I’m fairly sure my classmates knew I wasn’t working with original material.

In college, I developed the habit of scribbling my favorite bits of pithy wisdom onto index cards that I taped to the wall above my desk. The cards became popular enough that I would often return from class to find my roommates and their friends standing in my dorm room giggling at one phrase or another.

Over the years since then, throughout my writing career, I’ve kept a carefully tended folder of my favorite quotes related to all manner of subjects: work, food, cinema, men and women, politics and religion, romance, art, and money—but especially about sex.

From politicians to porn stars and Nobel laureates to musicians, from the notable to the unknown, across the centuries and disparate cultures, sex and sexuality with all of its permutations, quirks and mystery is what binds us together. We are all one beneath the sheets.

In this collection you will find a wide variety of aphorisms designed to amuse and stimulate—in every sense of the word. I ask only that you pass along the quotes that you find most illuminating. After all, isn’t that what an oral history—wink, nudge—is all about?

Enjoy! Viel Spaß!

About the Book

It doesn’t matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses.

Mrs. Campbell, humorist

Sex is not a frill; it’s not a luxury. It’s part of your life whether you’re flush or famished, living under dictators or Democrats. It has its own unique relationship to history and it will not shut up.
