Camille Paglia Quotes About Sexuality

Quotes about: Sexuality

• Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It's part of the sizzle.

  Camille Paglia

  Love, Essence, Seduction

  Camille Paglia (2011). “Sex, Art, and American Culture: Essays”, p.59, Vintage

• Women are not in control of their bodies; nature is. Ancient mythology, with its sinister archetypes of vampire and Gorgon, is more accurate than feminism about the power and terror of female sexuality.

• Woman's sexuality is disruptive of the dully mechanical workaday world, in which efficiency means uniformity. The problems of woman's entrance into the career system spring from more than male chauvinism. She brings nature into the social realm, which may be too small to contain it.

  Camille Paglia

  Spring, Mean, Careers

  Camille Paglia (2011). “Vamps & Tramps: New Essays”, p.52, Vintage

• I view the prostitute as one of the few women who is totally in control of her fate, totally in control of the realm of sex. The lesbian feminists tried to take control of female sexuality away from men - but the prostitute was doing that all along.

  Pregnancy, Character, Sexuality

  Camille Paglia (2018). “Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, Feminism”, p.38, Canongate Books

• I support, defend, and admire prostitutes, gay or straight. They do important and necessary work, whether moralists of the Left and Right like it or not. Feminists who think they can abolish the sex trade are in a state of massive delusion. Only a ruthless, fascist regime of vast scale could eradicate the rogue sex impulse that is indistinguishable from the life force. Simply in the Western world, pagan sexuality has survived 2000 years of Judaeo-Christian persecution and is hardly going to be defeated by a few feminists whacking at it with their brooms.

  Camille Paglia

  Christian, Sex, Gay

• Ambitious young women today are taught to ignore or suppress every natural instinct, if it conflicts with the feminist agenda posed on them. All literary and artistic works, no matter how great, that document the ambivalence of female sexuality they are trained to dismiss as "misogynous." In other words, their minds are being programmed to secede from their bodies ... there is a huge gap between feminist rhetoric and women's actual sex lives, where feminism is of little help except with a certain stratum of deferential, malleable, white middle-class men.

  Camille Paglia

  Sex, Men, Class
