Sexuality Quotes (70) Spiritual Sayings

Summary: Definition of Sexuality. Your sexuality is defined as your sexual orientation, your sexual activity and your capacity for sexual feelings. Sexuality is diverse, and deeply personal. Understanding our sexuality is about the sexual feelings and attractions we feel towards other people, not about who we have sex with. The quality or condition of being sensual.

~ Alice Walker

~ Jay Christian Emerte quotes

“. . . full sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life mean the end of mystical feelings of any kind, that, in other words, natural sexuality is the deadly enemy of mystical religion.

~ Wilhelm Reich (Austrian Psychologist. 1897-1957)


“A man's eroticism is a woman's sexuality.”
~ Karl Kraus (Austrian Journalist, Critic, Playwright and Poet, 1874-1936)

 
“Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.”
~ Susan Sontag (American Writer, Activist and Critic, 1933-2004)

~ Michel Foucault (French Philosopher, Historian and Scholar. 1926-1984)


"Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law. Understand that we are you. Understand that if we decide to have sex whether safe, safer, or unsafe, it is our decision and you have no rights in our lovemaking.”
~ Derek Jarman (British Film Director, Artist and Author, b.1942)

~ Rachel Bilson


I think that sexuality is only attractive when it's natural and spontaneous.
~ Marilyn Monroe


Sexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do.
~ Jessie J


With dancing, so much is about sexuality and sensuality and without life experience it becomes much more of a performance, rather than a living, breathing entity from the soul.
~ Nigel Lythgoe


Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I'm not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent - just like there's a side of me that's vulgar and violent.
~ Angelina Jolie


Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle.
~ Camille Paglia

~ Ezra Miller


Mastery over the body - its impulses, its needs, its size - is paramount; to lose control is to risk beauty, and to risk beauty is to risk desirability, and to risk desirability is to risk entitlement to sexuality and love and self-esteem.
~ Caroline Knapp


There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.
~ Francesca Annis


I am sensual and very physical. I'm very erotic. But my sexuality exists on a sort of a fantasy level.
~ Donna Summer


Sexuality and sensuality are completely different things. Sensuality is something that you're born with. But sexuality is something I leave for my own mirror.
~ Ricky Martin


I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me.
~ Adam Lambert


My sexuality is something I'm completely comfortable with and open about. There's a lot of prejudice toward us but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be. And that will be better for everyone.
~ Anna Paquin


Sex can be renounced -- but sexuality cannot. We can't avoid sexual issues by avoiding sex, or by dismissing its importance, or by showing disrespect to our own or other people's sexual feelings.
~ Sallie Tisdale


Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
~ Rajneesh


Perhaps the great renewal of the world will consist of this, that man and woman, freed of all confused feelings and desires, shall no longer seek each other as opposites, but simply as members of a family and neighbors, and will unite as human beings, in order to simply, earnestly, patiently, and jointly bear the heavy responsibility of sexuality that has been entrusted to them.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke


Sexuality poorly repressed unsettles some families; well repressed, it unsettles the whole world.

When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche


The more separated we become from the Earth, the more hostile we become to the feminine. We disown our passion, our creativity, and our sexuality. Eventually the Earth itself becomes a baneful place. I remember being told by a medicine woman in the Amazon, “Do you know why they are really cutting down the rain forest? Because it is wet and dark and tangled and feminine.
~ Alberto Villoldo


But what will he do when he sees only too clearly why his patient is ill; when he sees that it arises from his having no love, but only sexuality; no faith, because he is afraid to grope in the dark; no hope, because he is disillusioned by the world and by life; and no understanding, because he has failed to read the meaning of his own existence?
~ Carl Jung 


The great problems of life—sexuality, of course, among others—are always related to the primordial images of the collective unconscious. These images are really balancing or compensating factors which correspond with the problems life presents in actuality. This is not to be marveled at, since these images are deposits representing the accumulated experience of thousands of years of struggle for adaptation and existence.
~ Carl Jung


In human beings pure masculinity or femininity is not to be found either in a psychological or biological sense.
~ Sigmund Freud


When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche


All religions have something to say about sex, and it rarely coincides with scientific knowledge of sex and sexuality.
~ Darrel Ray


Men are terrified of a woman's depth of love and the energy that moves as a woman's sexuality and emotions. And, at the same time, men want nothing more in this life than to merge completely with a woman's devotional love and wild energy. Only as a man outgrows his fear can he handle a woman's tremendous love-energy without running. And only such a man is worthy of your devotional offering in a committed intimacy.
~ David Deida


Our partner's sexuality does not belong to us. It isn't just for and about us, and we should not assume that it rightfully falls within our jurisdiction.
~ Esther Perel 


Sexuality is not a leisure or part-time activity. It is a way of being.

We need a fundamental change of mindset with regards to the way we speak and behave about sex and sexuality. Boys and men have a particularly critical role in this regard, changing the chauvinist and demeaning ways sexuality and women were traditionally dealt with in both our actions and speaking.
~ Nelson Mandela


Your sexuality is the engine of your humanness. Freed of your self, it is an engine of movement. It isn’t there to move your experience, but to move your being into your experience, bringing your being into the physicality of your self.

We should be telling girls what they already know but rarely see affirmed: that the lives they lead inside their own self-contained bodies; the skills they attain through their own concentration and rigor, and the unique phase in their lives during which they may explore boys and eroticism at their own pace - these are magical. And they constitute the entrance point to a life cycle of a sexuality that should be held sacred.
~ Naomi Wolf


When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
~ Oscar Wilde


How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.
~ Sigmund Freud


Were kisses all the joys in bed, One woman would another wed.
~ William Shakespeare


It is a totally different creativity I am talking about. A Taj Mahal... just watching it on a full moon night, and great meditation is bound to arise in you. Or the temples of Khajuraho, Konarak, Puri - just meditating on them and you will be surprised that all your sexuality is transformed into love. They are miracles of creativity. They were not created by pathological people, they were created by those who had attained.
~ Rajneesh


The annihilation of a woman's personality, individuality, will, character, is prerequisite to male sexuality.
