“I am a rare species, not a stereotype.”
“I started to be really proud of the fact I was gay even though I wasn t”
“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.”
“A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded gun on your coffee table- There s nothing wrong with them, but it s hard to stop thinking about.”
“After loss of Identity, the most potent modern terror, is loss of sexuality, or, as Descartes didn’t say, I fuck therefore I am .”
“I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You d be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavors.”
“Weren t you wearing a purity ring when we got here? Aren t you supposed to be saving yourself? Shanti asked. Yeah, Mary Lou answered. And then I thought, for what? You save leftovers. My sex is not a leftover, and it is not a Christmas present.”
“&push your fat cock inside this honeypot the honeypot that throbs for you the honeypot that has been crying for you the possessive honeypot that has been selfish for your slickness”
“If I was gay, I wouldn t need an asterisk beside my name. I could stop worrying if the girl I like will bounce when she finds out I also like dick. I could have a coming-out party without people thinking I just want attention. I wouldn t have to explain that I fall in love with minds, not genders or body parts. People wouldn t say I m just a slut or faking it or undecided or confused. I m not confused. I don t categorize people by who I m allowed to like and who I m allowed to love. Love doesn t fit into boxes like that. It s blurry, slippery, quantum. It s only limited by our perceptions and before we slap a label on it and cram it into some category, everything is possible.”
“It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse, physical or mental, stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be done with it; or fulfil it, and get it out of the system; but do not allow it to remain there and putrefy. The suppression of the normal sex instinct, for example, is responsible for a thousand ills. In Puritan countries one inevitably finds a morbid preoccupation with sex coupled with every form of perversion and degeneracy. ”

“Freedom is a state of mind, I said wondering where I d heard it before, not a state of being. We are all slaves to gravity and morality and the vicissitudes of nature. Our genes govern us much more than we d like to think. Our bodies can not know absolute freedom but our minds can, can at least try.”
“You are the evil scientist of your desires. - Ignacio Rivera”
“He loved the way women, clothed, had a bosom, a single entity, but when unclothed, it cleaved into two discrete parts, two breasts, like the way you could separate an orange into halves by hooking thumbs into it.”
“My bisexuality is part of the expression of the flexibility, the changeability of my spirit that feels essential and precious to the center of my life. My bisexuality is a part of my desire to remain an outsider, to be able to pass into polarized worlds, to abandon expectation, to honor the mystery of being. My bisexuality is a celebration of the ever-opening flesh, the expansive, fluid mirror of social discourse.”
