"Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth. But, it's usually too battered with rules to be heard, and bound with pretenses so it can hardly move. We cripple ourselves with lies"

- Jim Morrison

About this Quote

This quote by Jim Morrison speaks to the complexity of sex and the lies that typically accompany it. He recommends that the body is the only thing that can inform the truth, however it is often silenced by the rules and expectations that society places on it. We are so used to lying to ourselves and others that we become crippled by our own dishonesty. Morrison is recommending that we ought to be truthful with ourselves and others about our desires and sensations in order to be truly totally free. He is likewise suggesting that if we can be sincere about our sexuality, we can be sincere about other elements of our lives. This quote encourages us to be honest and open about our sexuality, and to not let the lies and expectations of society limitation us.
