What is better than sex?
Eating monthong durian, riding a horse, swimming in the ocean, photographing a bird I've never seen before. Jamming with other musicians, reading a good book, taking a hike..just about anything.
It depends on the time and moment. But it is not bad.
If I ever find out... The secret will die with me. 'Sorry to dissappoint you. But to give you an example: when you don't lose respect for that other person after having sex... you just upgraded having sex to making love... so yeah... Making Love is Better than Sex. But I am Not telling you that.
More sex ... it begins when the last orgasm dies down and includes conversation, touch, smell, empathy, tolerance, love, taste, forethought, spontaneity, repetition, deliberate arousal, subtlety, crudity, honesty, openness, guile and its opposite, humour, ... there's more but I'll leave the rest for someone's eventual surprise, discovery and delight.
Not much if anything but coming in a very close 2nd would be mutual respect and enjoyment of a kindred soul.
I'm just waiting for other people to answer, so I can console myself by having those things instead of sex.
@Redcupcoffee I do have that, at least.
Depends on the quality of the Sex. If it's crappy sex lots of things. Really good sex. MAYBE a juicy pastrami sandwich AFTER the sex.
To crush your enemies,
to see them driven before you,
and to hear the lamentations of their women!
Krom!!!
Not much! LOL! Seriously, sex IS great. It's like pizza. Even shitty pizza is pretty good cuz who doesn't like bread with melted cheese all over it? Amiright? With that said, being in a romantic love relationship with someone you love deeply, passionately, endlessly, and completely upgrades sex to "making love" (as has been mentioned already). That, is da BOMB!
What's better than sex? Good sex.
What's better than good sex? Great sex.
What's better than great sex? The question presupposes there is something better than great sex. ?
As far as a legitimate answer to your question... That's up to the individual. We all value the same things in life, we just vary in what we value more overall or in any given moment.
After "great sex" comes, "amazing sex" followed by "mind-blowing sex".. There is a tier that most don't reach and that's the "Holy shit, I'm serious, my legs won't work properly.." stage, but that's for the more advanced..
Transcending craving for the gratification of sense-pleasures.
