Summary

This quote, often attributed to the iconic writer Oscar Wilde, suggests that while sex itself may appear to be about intimacy or pleasure, it is ultimately driven by power dynamics. It implies that in all aspects of life, including relationships and broader societal contexts, sexual desires and activities are shaped and influenced by power struggles. By asserting that everything in the world revolves around sex, except for sex itself, the quote highlights the underlying power dynamics that intertwine with human sexual experiences.
