Let's see what quotes we can find. Desire Women who wear short skirts are really tarts. They bleat about independence but they still want to be the objects of men's desires. I have a great desire to make people smile, not laugh. Laughter is too aggressive.
People bare their teeth.
Muriel Spark, Times, 1983. I worry a lot more about sex than my carrer. I did want to be married by now. It must have been wishful thinking. John Gordon-Sinclair, 1993.
