“People are really out there just...thinking about having sex all the time and they can't even help it? People have dreams about it because they want it that much? How the- I'm losing it. I thought all the movies were exaggerating, but you're all really out there just craving genitals and embarrassment. This has to be some kind of huge joke.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“She thought I feared something new. She didn’t know I feared something I didn’t want, had never wanted, and might never want.”
― AdriAnne Strickland, Beyond the Black Door

“Maybe it's the gay friends I have but they're all like... Sex! Exclamation mark exclamation mark! Which is extremely wonderful for them - I'm not saying they should be any other way - but. They're good at casual sex. I can't even imagine having it. I don't think any of my friends could put up with dating a guy who doesn't want to have sex. It's hard enough feeling like you're an outsider with most people because you're gay! And so you have to work harder to find your people. But you do it, you meet other gay guys, you manage to become friends with some of them, and then it still turns out you don't fit in. You're still different. What do you do then?”
― Cynthia So, If You Still Recognise Me
