Never expect anybody - except possibly your analyst - to be as thrilled about your sex life as you are.

You just keep working and when you finally get it, it feels very, very nice.

People never get tired of looking at beautiful pictures of gorgeous girls.
sex trouble ifs
If you’re not a sex object, you’re in trouble.

The happiest people I know are not those who are the most beautiful, rich or famous. The happiest people I see are simply those who stay cheerful and try to cheer up others while getting through their own bad stuff
running caring thinking
