Buddha’s Quotes on Lust, Passion, Women and Men Relationship
'I don't know of even one other form that stays in a woman's mind and consumes it like the form of a man... one other sound... smell... taste... touch that stays in a woman's mind and consumes it like the touch of a man. The touch of a man stays in a woman's mind and consumes it.'
— AN 1.1 http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/likefire/2-3.html
Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that is as tantalizing, sensuous, intoxicating, captivating, infatuating, and as much of an obstacle to achieving the unsurpassed security from bondage as the form of a woman. Beings who are lustful for the form of a woman—ravenous, tied to it, infatuated, and blindly absorbed in it—sorrow for a long time under the control of a woman’s form. (2) I do not see even one other sound … (3) … even one other odor … (4) … even one other taste … (5) … even one other touch that is as tantalizing, sensuous, intoxicating, captivating, infatuating, and as much of an obstacle to achieving the unsurpassed security from bondage as the touch of a woman. Beings who are lustful for the touch of a woman—ravenous, tied to it, infatuated, and blindly absorbed in it—sorrow for a long time under the control of a woman’s touch.
“Bhikkhus, while walking, a woman obsesses the mind of a man; while standing … while sitting … while lying down … while laughing … while speaking … while singing … while crying a woman obsesses the mind of a man. When swollen, too, a woman obsesses the mind of a man. Even when dead, a woman obsesses the mind of a man. If, bhikkhus, one could rightly say of anything: ‘Entirely a snare of Māra,’ it is precisely of women that one could say this.”

(1) Manāpā amanāpā––Attractive/Unattractive
1. At one time the Blessed One was living in the squirrels’ sanctuary in the bamboo grove in Rajagaha.
2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there: “Monks, the woman endowed with five factors is on the whole unattractive to man. What five? Is not of beautiful form, does not have wealth, is not virtuous, is lazy and does not bear children. The woman endowed with these five factors is on the whole unattractive to man.
3. “Monks, the woman endowed with five factors is on the whole attractive to man. What five? Is of beautiful form, has wealth, is virtuous, is clever, not lazy and bears children. The woman endowed with these five factors is completely attractive to man.”

“Bhikkhus, a woman binds a man in eight ways. What eight?
A woman binds a man by her form . . . by her smile . . . by her speech . . . by singing [197] . . . by weeping . . . by her appearance . . . by a present1668 . . . by her touch.1669 A woman binds a man in these eight ways. Those beings are thoroughly bound who are bound by touch.”

8.17. Bondage (1)
"I will teach you a Dhamma discourse on bondage & lack of bondage. Listen & pay close attention. I will speak."
"Yes, lord," the monks responded.
The Blessed One said: "A woman attends inwardly to her feminine faculties, her feminine gestures, her feminine manners, feminine poise, feminine desires, feminine voice, feminine charms. She is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, she attends outwardly to masculine faculties, masculine gestures, masculine manners, masculine poise, masculine desires, masculine voices, masculine charms. She is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, she wants to be bonded to what is outside her, wants whatever pleasure & happiness that arise based on that bond. Delighting, caught up in her femininity, a woman goes into bondage with reference to men. This is how a woman does not transcend her femininity.
