Closeness
I won’t do one night stands anymore
Don’t need a gf title but want to feel pretty certain I’ll see them again

An excuse to clean the sheets; I love doing laundry

The touch of naked skin, the kissing intimacy and closeness, seeing the other person's face when they orgasm, the scent, the afterglow... the ordering of pizza afterwards

I would say the feel of certain things. Like my neck being kissed or the slight tug of my hair. My favorite is the feel of his stubble between my legs. And of course, the 10 seconds of cuddling afterwards, lol. I do like my space.

Intimacy and contentment. Not wanting to move.

Intimacy. Connection to another person. And trust. To be intimate is to trust another.

Being able to share some intimate time alone with the one you really care about

Exposing yourself.

...psychologically!

Taste, smells the physical exhaustion.

Two orgasms?

The comment box suggests "use any personal experience or knowledge you might have." DISCLAIMER: the following is not from personal experience. A man and woman were in bed and as they were approaching the peak of excitement, she needed to get up to go to the bathroom. Part way there, she stumbled over a pile of clothes and fell. He leaped out of bed, went over to her and tenderly caressed her, and gently helped her to her feet. Later, they lay in bed satisfied. She needed to get up again, but due to her exhaustion, one of her knees gave out just as she was taking her first step away from the bed. He looked over at her and said "clumsy bitch." I guess each of these two would have a different answer to the question?

that it involved more than just me? lol
i miss the spooning and cuddling , and sleeping on a sliver of my bed, because women are bed hogs, lmao

Snuggling in the afterglow.

Sex.

Babies.

I consider an orgasm to be one of the many good things - but not necessarily the best thing.

It's the touching, the kissing, the skin-on-skin all over, the heat, going from intensity to laughter, the wonderful exchanges that can occur when lovers are imaginative, edgy and willing ...

I am bad, sex can start 8 or 10 hours before the orgasms start. So the whole seduction thing, it can begin while you are driving to a destination. I was 4 hours into a 6 hour drive once and the lady I was with got very insistent and we pulled off the highway onto a dead railway crossing, she couldn't wait any more. Even in the bedroom, why rush it, orgasm means you are nearing the end, even if multiple, it is still the home stretch of what could be a marathon.

The intimacy and the brief no walls barred connection. Sometimes that’s better than the sex.

Power exchanges.

Endurance.

The smell of him--sweaty, showered, sore, pumped, happy, sad, whatever. It always make me smile. It's what I just about miss most.

Good exercise

The gentle kissing at the nape of the neck, biting the earlobes, kissing forehead, cheek, nibbling on the lips all while slowly penetrating...
Fingers intertwined, pinned down, in control, feet forcing calves apart. Pressing pelvis firmly to pelvis...
The hairs standing up, small goosebumps...
A lot of things are very good compared to the climax.
