Sex (n.) is ideally a perfect balance of pain and pleasure, a symmetry without which it becomes a routine rather than an indulgence.
Sex (n.) is an act during which every man wants to be a tyrant. He one wants that everything around him gives him its utter attention, thinks only of him, cares only for him.
Sex (n.) is given pleasure by horror, nastiness, and the frightful. Beauty is a simple thing... ugliness is the exceptional thing. And fiery imaginations, no doubt, always prefer the extraordinary thing to the simple thing.
Sex (n.) is an activity which, absent of pain, is like food absent of taste..
Sex (n.) is a pleasure to which all other pleasures are subordinate but in which they all unite.
