Sex has been the driving force behind much of the art and culture of the civilized world and down the centuries it has inspired great works of literature, magnificent paintings and sculpture and continues to do so today. How many popular songs, films and glossy magazines do not rely at least in part on sex to boost their sales? Sexual desire has inspired men to do great things but it has equally brought about the downfall of many; it can bring out the best in us - or the worst; it can be both beautiful and ugly, serious and funny - a veritable paradox! In this unique collection of quotations, the author has focused on the more humorous examples that have attracted his attention and consequently the reader will find a host of witty one-liners, interspersed with quotes of a more philosophical nature on this perenially fascinating subject. It is a truly entertaining anthology.
