“What made sex so integral that people couldn't separate the emotional love they felt from the physical act?
Love shouldn't hinge solely on exposing your physical body to another person.”
― Claire Kann, Let's Talk About Love

“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

“I loved the idea in theory - having a sexy little adventure in a dark room in someone else's house with someone you've been on-and-off flirting with for a couple of months - but the reality? Having to actually touch genitals with someone? Ew.”
― Alice Oseman, Loveless

“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
