"Everything I've always done has been for the sole purpose of increasing my lovemaking output. A lot of guys won't admit that, but I do. I just want to make love"
About this Quote
Rick Fox turns the classic male brag inside out by overcommitting to it. “Lovemaking output” is comically industrial language for something that’s supposed to be intimate, and that mismatch is the point: he’s lampooning the way masculinity is trained to quantify desire like it’s a stat sheet. Coming from a public figure whose image has long blended athlete-adjacent confidence with Hollywood charm, the line plays like a wink at the machinery behind the brand. He’s not confessing so much as performing candor.
The intent is disarming. By saying what “a lot of guys won’t admit,” he claims honesty as a kind of superiority, but the honesty is theatrical. The subtext is that ambition, discipline, fame, even self-improvement often smuggle sex in as the unspoken motivator. Fox collapses that whole motivational pyramid into one blunt drive, and the exaggeration makes it safe to laugh at. If he’d framed it as “I like attention” it would sound vain; “I just want to make love” softens the edge with romance-coded language, keeping the persona likable.
Context matters: this reads like a talk-show or interview moment where being a little outrageous buys you memorability without real risk. It’s a line tailored for the culture of the soundbite, where irony and self-awareness function as armor. Fox isn’t asking to be taken literally; he’s signaling that he understands the game, and he’s willing to make himself the joke before anyone else can.
