Quote of the Day

Sex is the biggest nothing of all time.

Andy Warhol

I'm not really sure what to make of it, but for reasons obvious to some, there is something very appealing about this quote to me. What is sex really in and of itself?

What is sex without love? Pleasure, some might say. But do you enjoy it without the attraction? Do you enjoy it without the excitement of the person you're sharing it with? What is sex without the outcome, could be asked..Or is sex sex without including the outcome? What would sex be without the hype around it; without its claimed place at the center of our oversexified universe?

Or is it this over-and-beyond exploitation of sensuality, sexuality, pleasure and passionate relations that has turned sex into the biggest nothing of all time?

As I said, I'm not really sure what to make of it. This quote. Or sex.
