"I'm not really much of a shopper. I have to say that I'd definitely prefer good sex. What makes good sex? Oh my god. I think you need to feel free and you have to really trust the other person. And you have to have that strange, mysterious chemical connection"
About this Quote
The subtext is less “sex is better than stuff” than “I’m not the character you bought.” By choosing a comparison that’s playful but loaded, Davis reclaims agency: she defines pleasure on her terms, not via status symbols. The quick “Oh my god” is key. It’s not just cute; it signals that she’s aware of the intimacy she’s about to describe and is negotiating the risk in real time, inviting the listener into a moment of unguarded honesty.
When she gets to “free,” “trust,” and “that strange, mysterious chemical connection,” she’s building a three-part ladder from ethics to biology. Freedom and trust are the relational foundation - consent, safety, mutual respect - while “chemical” gives permission for desire to be irrational, unplanned, and unmarketable. The line works because it refuses both cynicism and sentimentality: it’s not a self-help script, and it’s not a joke. It’s an actress, publicly associated with curated glamour, insisting that the real luxury is a private, unpredictable kind of connection.
