The Behavior of A Human Being
“We
fucked a flame into being.”

D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover
“Sexually
progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest,
while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust.”

fake orgasms and men fake finances.”

“Fireflies
out on a warm summer's night, seeing the urgent, flashing, yellow-white
phosphorescence below them, go crazy with desire; moths cast to the winds an
enchantment potion that draws the opposite sex, wings beating hurriedly, from
kilometers away; peacocks display a devastating corona of blue and green and
the peahens are all aflutter; competing pollen grains extrude tiny tubes that
race each other down the female flower's orifice to the waiting egg below;
luminescent squid present rhapsodic light shows, altering the pattern,
brightness and color radiated from their heads, tentacles, and eyeballs; a
tapeworm diligently lays a hundred thousand fertilized eggs in a single day; a
great whale rumbles through the ocean depths uttering plaintive cries that are
understood hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, where another lonely
behemoth is attentively listening; bacteria sidle up to one another and merge;
cicadas chorus in a collective serenade of love; honeybee couples soar on
matrimonial flights from which only one partner returns; male fish spray their
spunk over a slimy clutch of eggs laid by God-knows-who; dogs, out cruising,
sniff each other's nether parts, seeking erotic stimuli; flowers exude sultry
perfumes and decorate their petals with garish ultraviolet advertisements for
passing insects, birds, and bats; and men and women sing, dance, dress, adorn,
paint, posture, self-mutilate, demand, coerce, dissemble, plead, succumb, and
risk their lives.
To
say that love makes the world go around is to go too far. The Earth spins
because it did so as it was formed and there has been nothing to stop it since.
But the nearly maniacal devotion to sex and love by most of the plants,
animals, and microbes with which we are familiar is a pervasive and striking
aspect of life on Earth. It cries out for explanation. What is all this in aid
of? What is the torrent of passion and obsession about? Why will organisms go
without sleep, without food, gladly put themselves in mortal danger for sex?
... For more than half the history of life on Earth organisms seem to have done
perfectly well without it. What good is sex?... Through 4 billion years of
natural selection, instructions have been honed and fine-tuned...sequences of
As, Cs, Gs, and Ts, manuals written out in the alphabet of life in competition
with other similar manuals published by other firms. The organisms become the
means through which the instructions flow and copy themselves, by which new
instructions are tried out, on which selection operates.
'The
hen,' said Samuel Butler, 'is the egg's way of making another egg.' It is on
this level that we must understand what sex is for. ... The sockeye salmon
exhaust themselves swimming up the mighty Columbia River to spawn, heroically
hurdling cataracts, in a single-minded effort that works to propagate their DNA
sequences into future generation. The moment their work is done, they fall to
pieces. Scales flake off, fins drop, and soon--often within hours of
spawning--they are dead and becoming distinctly aromatic.
They've
served their purpose.
Nature
is unsentimental.
Death
is built in.”

of his other modes of reaction in life.”

percent.”

“No
matter how long or how difficult, we will undo whatever that Moroi boy has done
to you."
I
managed a wavering smile, tasting blood in my mouth. "You sure about that,
Dad? Because he's done everything to me.”

Richelle Mead, The Fiery Heart
“when
we were kids
laying
around the lawn
on
our
bellies
we
often talked
about
how
we'd
like to
die
and
we
all
agreed
on the
same
thing;
we'd
all
like
to die
fucking
(although
none
of us
had
done
any
fucking)
and
now
that
we
are hardly
kids
any
longer
we think
more
about
how
not
to
die
and
although
we're
ready
most
of
us
would
prefer
to
do
it
alone
under
the
sheets
now
that
most
of
us
have
fucked
our
lives
away.”

Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense
“I
had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality,
so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The
language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to
be explored.”
―
Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus
“The
difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no
one is going to make fun of you.”
―
Woody Allen
“In
all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a
Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:
1.
Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better
stor’d with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more
lastingly agreable.
2.
Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain
their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an
Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and
are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they
continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old
Woman who is not a good Woman.
3.
Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc’d may be
attended with much Inconvenience.
4.
Because thro’ more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting
an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer
with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should
happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin’d to excuse an
old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her
good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary
Prostitutes.
5.
Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that
fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank
and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts
continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a
Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two
Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey,
the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and
frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
6.
Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her
for Life unhappy.
7.
Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may
give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an
old Woman happy.
8thly
and Lastly They are so grateful!!”

“A
woman can become a man's friend only in the following stages - first an
acquantaince, next a mistress, and only then a friend.”

Anton Chekhov, Uncle Vanya
“My
mother told me that life isn't always about pleasing yourself and that
sometimes you have to do things for the sole benefit of another human being. I
completely agreed with her, but reminded her that that was what blow jobs were
for.”

“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.”

“I
think women are sexy when they got some clothes on. And if later they take them
off then you've triumphed.
Somebody
once said it's what you dont see you're interested in, and this is true.”

“jan

“You're
just jealous."
"Hardly.
Been there, done you. Adequate, but unremarkable.”

“I
make love with a focus and intensity that most people reserve for sleep.”
