“Strangers when you meet, strangers when you part -a gymnasium of bodies namelessly masturbating each other. People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel or to love. So they became swingers. The dead fucking the dead. There was no gamble or humor in their game -it was corpse fucking corpse. Morals were restrictive, but they were grounded on human experience down through the centuries. Some morals tended to keep people slaves in factories, in churches and true to the State. Other morals simply made good sense. It was like a garden filled with poisoned fruit and good fruit. You had to know which to pick and eat, which to leave alone.”
― Charles Bukowski, Women

“How many other people?" Alec asked. "Roughly."
Magnus shook his head. "I can't count, and it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is how I feel about you."
"More than a hundred?" Alec asked. Magnus looked blank. "Two hundred?"
"I can't believe we're having this conversation now," Magnus said.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

“[Y]ou are not ashamed of your sin [in committing adultery] because so many men commit it. Man's wickedness is now such that men are more ashamed of chastity than of lechery. Murderers, thieves, perjurers, false witnesses, plunderers and fraudsters are detested and hated by people generally, but whoever will sleep with his servant girl in brazen lechery is liked and admired for it, and people make light of the damage to his soul. And if any man has the nerve to say that he is chaste and faithful to his wife and this gets known, he is ashamed to mix with other men, whose behaviour is not like his, for they will mock him and despise him and say he's not a real man; for man's wickedness is now of such proportions that no one is considered a man unless he is overcome by lechery, while one who overcomes lechery and stays chaste is considered unmanly.”
― Augustine of Hippo, Sermons 1-19 (Vol. III/1)

“Does a rake deserve to possess anything of worth, since he chases everything in skirts and then imagines he can successfully hide his shame by slandering [women in general]?”

cause she's feeling so abused.
She gets tired of the lust,
but it's so hard to refuse.”

“And that is why I consider promiscuity immoral. Not because sex is evil, but because sex is too good and too important... What sex should involve is a very serious relationship. Whether that relationship should or should not become a marriage is a question which depends on the circumstances and the context of the two persons' lives. I consider marriage a very important institution, but it is important when and if two people have found the person with whom they wish to spend the rest of their lives -- a question of which no man or woman can be automatically certain. When one is certain that one's choice is final, then marriage is, of course, a desirable state. But this does not mean that any relationship based on less than total certainty is improper. I think the question of an affair or a marriage depends on the knowledge and the position of the two persons involved and should be left up to them. Either is moral, provided only that both parties take the relationship seriously and that it is based on values.”
― Ayn Rand

“I'm not an advocate of promiscuity; but then I'm also not an advocate of being virginal. It's not like I put virginity or celibacy on a pedestal, and as long as I don't get your promiscuity rubbed into my face— I don't care about it! What I do care about is the ability to recognize the sanctity of a union of two souls— you just can't say your soul isn't being united with others' when you have sex with them. So I think you'd better own up to what you're doing— no matter how frequently or infrequently or with how many different people you do it. I mean, make good choices! You are, after all, entwining your soul with another's.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“I been talkin' with my buddy, and he thinks I'm virgin enough fer the two of us.”
― William Inge, Bus Stop

“Promiscuous animals, by and large, have smaller brains, for relationship demands a good deal of processing power, and promiscuity is a denial of relationship. Monogamy, as many of us know, is costly and hard: it demands work, though the pay-off can be profound. The work is often emotional work: give and take; forgiveness and forbearance.”
― Charles Foster, The Screaming Sky

“Everybody loves an easy girl," he said. "It's just a question of how deeply, for how long. And the answer to both--is not very.”

“The number of marriages would be a fraction of what it is, if we all had, hovering over our heads, the number of people with whom we have had sex, or even the number of times we have had sex.”

― B.S. Murthy, Benign Flame: Saga of Love

“She may have a boyfriend that she loves, but she likes to believe that as long as he doesn't know, it won't hurt him. And as far as she's concerned, for her, it doesn't mean anything at all; it's just a thing…”
― Eib Shocky, Lost Seeking Dreams

“Love, Sex & Drugs (The Sonnet)

Stoneage immorality
was bedlock out of wedlock,
civilized immorality
is bedlock out of lovelock.

Who you sleep with is your business,
but to sleep without love isn't gallantry.
It may be accepted as adolescent folly,
part of growing up is to surpass frivolity.

Mindless sex and drugs are for the animals,
humans have no business with such nonsense.
It's one thing to indulge once in a while,
another to take it as life's daring object.

Opposite of puritanism isn't perversion,
any animal knows how to fill a hole.
Intimacy doesn't mean baring your body,
intimacy means baring your soul.”
