"For flavor, instant sex will never supersede the stuff you have to peel and cook"
- Quentin Crisp

He is comparing the effort of peeling and preparing to the effort of building a meaningful relationship. He is recommending that although it may take more effort and time to build a meaningful relationship, it will be more fulfilling in the end.
