Love & Passion Quote by Jaime Hernandez

Sex isn’t being defended here; it’s being de-weaponized. Jaime Hernandez frames sex as ordinary on purpose, stripping away the moral theater that turns bodies and desire into “issues” for public debate. The line “sex is sex” reads almost blunt to the point of impatience, a refusal to grant scandal the dignity of complexity. That flatness is the strategy: if you present sex without apology or sensationalism, you force the audience to confront what they’re actually reacting to.

“Presenting it that way” points to craft. Hernandez isn’t talking about private belief so much as artistic depiction: how sex appears on the page, who gets to have it, whether it’s treated as joke, tragedy, conquest, or just a human fact. The verb “presenting” implicates the viewer too. If heads get “unscrewed,” it’s because the audience arrives with preassembled narratives about gender, desire, and propriety, then blames the art for loosening them.

The kicker is “including my own.” That undercuts any posture of purity or provocation-for-provocation’s-sake. He’s not claiming to be above taboo; he’s admitting he’s been built by the same culture he’s challenging. The intent, then, isn’t to shock but to recalibrate: to show sex plainly enough that discomfort can be traced back to its source. It’s an artist describing the messy, valuable feedback loop where representation doesn’t just reflect society’s norms - it tests them, and exposes the knots in the maker along with the audience.
