It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.

Alan Moore
About This Quote

In a letter to a friend, Oscar Wilde said, “It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.” This is a reference to the way opium and heroin combined with sexual molestation can lead to problems with morality. It is possible that Wilde was being ironic or even making fun of the way that people use drugs as a way to deal with their problems. This quote does not mean that he was a homosexual himself.
