If sex were all, then every trembling handCould make us squeak, like dolls, the wished-for words.

Summary

This quote suggests that if sex were the only factor that drives human connections, then anyone with desire could easily manipulate and control others with mere physical gratification, reducing them to submissive and obedient objects. It implies that true connections and meaningful words are not solely driven by sexual desire, but rather require genuine emotions, vulnerability, and authenticity.
