| SEX See also: Lust | 性 |

leaves God out of his sexual thinking he is in trouble. 在人進行性行為之前，上帝早已想到了，而當人將上帝置於他的性思想之外，他就有麻煩了。 |
| What would you not give to
have the word 'sex' set free from every trace of fear, guilt, shame and impurity? 當你提到「性」這個字的時候，如何才能不連想到恐懼、罪感、羞恥及不潔淨呢？ |
| All healthy men, ancient and modern, Eastern and
Western, know that there is a certain fury in sex that we cannot afford to inflame, and
that a certain mystery and awe must ever surround it if we are to remain sane. G. K. Chesterton 所有健康人，不分古今中外，都知道在性裡面的某些激情是我們不能冒險煽起的，如果我們想保持理智的話，仍需要待以某些神秘與敬畏。 |

end. Fred Catherwood 沒有愛的性是死路一條。 |

but a vast intensification of sexual competition from which there is no sure haven except
impotence and defeat. George Gilder 當性被解放時，不是帶來兩性平等而是更劇烈的兩性競爭，在其中沒有避風港，只有軟弱與幻滅。 |

probably not rise above the sex battle. E. Stanley Jones 人生的戰鬥大概不會高過性的戰爭。 |

are so many books on how to? Bette Midler 如果性真是那麼自然的現象，那怎麼來的這麼多書告訴人家怎麼做呢？ |
| Sometimes in my dreams there
are women...When such dreams happen, immediately I remember, 'I am a monk.'...It is very
important to analyze 'What is the real benefit of sexual desire?' The appearance of a
beautiful face or a beautiful body - as many scriptures describe - no matter how
beautiful, they essentially decompose into a skeleton. When we penetrate to its human
flesh and bones, there is no beauty, is there? A couple in a sexual experience is happy
for that moment. Then very soon trouble begins. The Dalai Lama 有時候我會夢到女人...當那樣的夢出現時，我立刻想起「我是個和尚。」...分析「性慾的真正益處是甚麼？」實在非常重要。漂亮臉孔或者漂亮身材的外貌 - 就像許多經文描述的 - 無論多麼漂亮，終將腐爛只剩骨頭。當我們深入探究人們的軀體與骨骼，那裡根本沒有美麗，有嗎？一對男女在性經驗中獲得短暫快樂，很快的麻煩就開始了。 |
| Everyone lies about sex, more or less, to themselves
if not to others, exaggerating its importance or minimizing its pull. 每個人對「性」都會撒點謊，如果不是對別人，就是對他們自己；不是誇大它的重要性，就是貶低它的吸引力。 |
