Ever got turned on by reading a book? A little D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterlay’s Lover or a little Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov? Or basking under the implications of the tenderness that involves tearing into the flesh of a lover which may come interspersed in a book but never too openly written about. Reading, best done when in solitude, erotica or passages that are riddled with double-entendres and soliloquies gives you some sexual empowerment because all your senses are deeply involved. So here are some of the best quotes that could get you in the mood, one syllable at a time.
