Libido Quotes

“Morals are nothing but a civilized society’s attempt to tame some beast called man.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Yes, I was obsessed with sex, but which guy isn’t at seventeen? Blame our media or our conservative society; the subject of sex is treated as if it is something unnatural. By denouncing sex heavily, our society has made people wanting it even more. Media, on the other hand, presents it as if it is something magical but denied to most people. Moral policing too has done nothing good but increased the lure of sex in the minds of the young by making it a taboo. In short, a lot of hullabaloo has been created over the issue of sex, and I too fell victim to the propaganda.”

“For Marx, the only thing that motivates humans is money. For Freud, it’s libido. And for Schopenhauer, it is the blind metaphysical will. All are horribly wrong. More than anything, man seeks meaning in his life. And in that meaning, he seeks superiority over others.”
― Abhaidev, The Influencer: Speed Must Have a Limit

“If working-hours were natural, then employed men would only get erections between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. … during the week.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Love is a kind of symptom that arises through the repression of libido.”
― Frank Tallis, A Death in Vienna

“The lessons of relationship that our primordial ancestors learned are deeply encoded in the genetics of our neurobiological circuits of love. They are present from the moment we are born and activated at puberty by the cocktail of neurochemicals. It’s an elegant synchronized system. At first our brain weighs a potential partner, and if the person fits our ancestral wish list, we get a spike in the release of sex chemicals that makes us dizzy with a rush of unavoidable infatuation. It’s the first step down the primeval path of pair-bonding.”
― Abhijit Naskar, What is Mind?

“There would definitely be way fewer instances of cheating, if the average couple did not have sex only when the woman feels like it.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“When it comes to their love lives, some people do not really have high standards; they merely have low sex drive.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“It seemed improbable that men really wanted sex this badly, and yet they did, there was an entire economy based on how badly they wanted it, and for a moment Margo understood the sexual desire she felt was mild in comparison She would never pay fifteen dollars to look at a guy naked.”
― Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“காமத்தை வெல்பவன் மட்டுமே அகங்காரத்தை வெல்லமுடியும். உலகம் மீது பரவி அதை மறைக்கும் அகங்காரத்தையும் வென்றவனாலேயே உலகை உண்மையில் அறியமுடியும். ’தன்னுடைய உண்மை’க்குப் பதிலாக ’உண்மை’யை அவனால்தான் அறிய முடியும். ஆகவேதான் காமத்தை வெல்லுதல் ஞானத்தின் முதலடியாக எல்லா மரபுகளிலும் சொல்லப்படுகிறது.”
― Jeyamohan

“Ne înşelăm dacă credem că inconştientul este ceva inofensiv … Desigur, el nu este primejdios în orice condiţii; dar de îndată ce apare o nevroză, acesta e un semn că în inconştient există o acumulare de energie, adică un fel de încărcătură care poate exploda … Săpăm cumva ca să dăm de o fântână arteziană şi riscăm să ne izbim de un vulcan.”
― C.G. Jung, Two Essays on Analytical Psychology

“Equally serious is the complaint that psychoanalysis as a medical practice is a form of oppressive social control, labelling individuals and forcing them to conform to arbitrary definitions of ‘normality’. This charge is in fact more usually aimed against psychiatric medicine as a whole: as far as Freud’s own views on ‘normality’ are concerned, the accusation is largely misdirected. Freud’s work showed, scandalously, just how ‘plastic’ and variable in its choice of objects libido really is, how so-called sexual perversions form part of what passes as normal sexuality, and how heterosexuality is by no means a natural or self-evident fact. It is true that Freudian psychoanalysis does usually work with some concept of a sexual ‘norm’; but this is in no sense given by Nature.”
― Terry Eagleton, Literary Theory: An Introduction

“Griffin Hansbury, who was born female but underwent a sex change after graduating from college, has another well-informed view of the powers of testosterone. “The world just changes,” he said. “The most overwhelming feeling was the incredible increase in libido and change in the way I perceived women.” Before the hormone treatments, Hansbury said, an attractive woman in the street would provoke an internal narrative: “She’s attractive. I’d like to meet her.” But after the injections, no more narrative. Any attractive quality in a woman, “nice ankles or something,” was enough to “flood my mind with aggressive pornographic images, just one after another…Everything I looked at, everything I touched turned to sex.” He concluded, “I felt like a monster a lot of the time. It made me understand men. It made me understand adolescent boys a lot.”
― Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha

“The warring conflict in man between the intellect and the libido shall never be twinned.”
― Larry Kramer, Faggots

“I have learned that the libido, like Elvis and jealousy, never dies. I know copulators of eighty-five. Who said you need an erection, a body or an orgasm for sex?”
― Hanif Kureishi, The Nothing

“Нищо практично не виждам в себе си, абсолютно всичките ми действия са основани на МЕЧТИ, ЛИБИДО и ИЛЮЗИИ.”
― Иво Димчев, Лирика и педератуси

“Es poco probable que la vergüenza pueda darse en ausencia de la libido sexual...”
― William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch

“There’s this expectation that we should all be sexual beings, but the fact is, not all of us are, particularly.”
― Liz Jensen, The Rapture

“The libido accepts all currencies, and vicarious pleasures have an over-the-counter exchange rate that is considered reliable enough to pass for real. No one ever went bankrupt borrowing someone else's pleasures. We go bankrupt when we want no one.”
― André Aciman, Find Me

“இன்றைய மனிதனுக்கு காமம் பசியைப்போன்றதல்ல. நூற்றாண்டுகளாக மனிதனின் காமம் உடலில் இருந்து உள்ளத்துக்கு மாற்றப்பட்டுவிட்டது. மனிதன் அளவுக்கு காமத்தையே எண்ணிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் பிற உயிரினம் ஏதும் இருக்க முடியாது. உள்ளத்துக்கு எல்லை இல்லை. ஆகவே மானுடனின் காமத்துக்கும் எல்லையே இல்லை. அது அவனுக்குள் பெருகிப்பெருகிச் சென்றபடியே இருக்கும். உண்மையில் காமத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்துதல் என்ற செயலைவிட ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதனுக்குள் இருக்கும் இந்த காமம் பலமடங்கு செயற்கையானது”
― Jeyamohan, இன்றைய காந்தி

“A man who wakes up to a pair of double D breasts of his wife every morning, is neurologically destined to get used to them, regardless of their size. This is called “Habituation”. But this process of habituation does not say anything about the love and care between two persons in a committed relationship. Love is not the primeval surge of libidinal lust that a person receives when meeting a suitable partner for the first time. Love in the truest sense of the term is born much later in a relationship, when both sides get to the know the truest selves of each other. And when love is born out of the pyre of commitment and attachment, it is no longer about having sex, it is about making love and becoming one with each other in every manner possible.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Bengal Tigress: A Treatise on Gender Equality

“Pretty much all men are trying to fuck all of or at least most of the time.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Some people don’t have real love for bananas; they only eat it because of the wonders they believe it performs.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover

“I couldn't believe that anyone would be so sexually driven that he might actually skip lunch-and after an auction! I think of myself as a healthy person with a strong sex drive, but it's never occurred to me to forgo meals.”
― Nora Ephron, Heartburn

“Making love to a person by penetration is easy, to make a person feel loved, not so much.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Esperanza Impossible: 100 Sonnets of Ethics, Engineering & Existence

“Just think how many world catastrophes we could have been spared if men could just keep their dicks in their pants.”
― Marc-Uwe Kling, QualityLand
