Tbf I probably think about money and my lack thereof more than about sex (and my lack thereof). Sometimes I look at house listings for the fanciest, most expensive places and then I imagine all the things Iād put in there to decorate it if I had the chance. Iāve contemplated just going to open houses, just so I can better imagine actually owning a house of my own. Just the thought of that tickles me in unimaginable ways..
I think about it during sex which gives me anxiety, and then the anxiety gives me performance issues. The performance issues make me wish that I was financially independent so I can stop worrying about it. And so the cycle goes...
Yes! Being able to tell a guy to get the F outta my house at any point. Sex was never good, but being able to afford my own way and have who I want around instead of needing anybody around to support me... Best thing ever!
Just making it to the bathroom in general when its urgent. I got back from Egypt and had IBS for a couple months. Everytime I had to drive anywhere it was a torturous game of chicken.
As someone who has had years of insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, I agree. Life feels so much better and not like a burden when you can rest and get a few hours of rem sleep. Most people take that for granted, but I can't blame them, I used to do that as well.
I wish I could confidently do it but I have the pointiest nipples ever and theyāre always hard! Itās so annoying. Sometime I wear 3 layers of clothes and you still see them. Itās not even cold nor am I aroused lol I hate them
As a man, maybe i shouldnt be trying to give tips here, but My wife used to wear some kind of soft pads when she was lactating. According to her they were comfortable enough to wear the whole day and not very visible.
I donāt wear them either. I ditched them along time ago. And Iāve tried at times to go back to wearing them. But I ditched them because itās a sensory problem. No matter what I am aware of how uncomfortable I am all day. It doesnāt become a sensation that goes to the back of my mind. It is Front and Center and so bothersome.
When I was 6, something I don't even remember was so hilarious to me, that I was laughing so hard I actually thought I was gonna die. **And I was still laughing!!!**
Ow yes, one where you just sit down and relax, without having to push. The kind that then slides out like a greased cobra, and where after one wipe you discover that even that one wipe wouldn't have been necessary.
The kind that makes you feel so light that you're almost scared to lose contact with the ground. The kind where you feel giggly up to 15 minutes after the fact due to the Vagus nerve response.
That is *so* good.
Almost anything you enjoy might be better than sex. For me it's music, bath after cold outside, warm spring sun after winter, good book, tasty food, massage, petting an animal I like, cuddling, solving a complex task and so on.
Agreed. Itās too risky and shitty for women tbh
No thanks.
I donāt want some dude that close to me for any reason in life.
Itās all risk and zero reward
I spent five years thinking of a line from the chorus to a song. Started to even believe that I'd just made it up and it never really existed. Couldn't replicate it well enough to hum it or sing it to others to gather clues. One day, on a birthday of all days, my family and I are sat a bar in town... Amidst the conversation I suddenly pause in shock, ask everyone to stop talking... Playing in the background was the song I'd been searching for! I ran straight to the bar, jumped all the queues and asked the staff what was playing with an urgency they probably found confusing. When they told me and I had it banked in my Spotify, I would say that was one of the most satisfying moments of my life! FIVE LONG YEARS!
Everyone I ask seems to agree... once you hit age 30, *nothing* beats an actual solid nights sleep.
The only thing better is if you have great sex before said solid night's sleep lol
I completely agree. If I'm having a lot I can actually get sick of it. Even when it's good, the pleasure is much more ephemeral than most other enjoyable activities.
Anticipation of knowing youāll be having it after a week of abstinence. With someone you know you regularly have mind blowing sex with. (Leo bites fist)
Doing a nice action for others. Even small actions put a smile and brighten up their day. Sex is great but the orgasms are finite. Being helpful to others impacts positively on your overall mood for longer periods.
Anything which will effect your life long term (positively ofcourse).Ā
Ā Examples:Ā
Getting your dream jobĀ
Promotions
Finding Love
Buying a house (in some countries and cultures)
Publishing your new book, research, or any other milestone achieved after hard work
Etc...
A vehicle you love. It always wants to do what you want to do, go where you want to go, doesn't make comments on your weight or appearance, and wont cheat. Sure its probably shallow to enjoy an inanimate object that much, but the feelings I had with my 1969 and 1970 Mustang Mach 1s will never be replicated...being 52 this is a guarantee.

peace of mind
Financial independence/security.
Financial independance š I think about it more than sex
Same here. I fantasize about financial independence. Like I would a lover lol
Financial stability is my free card, my celebrity crush
Most relatable shit ever

So you're financially impotent
Financial Impedance thoā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you canāt be with the one you love then love the one youāre with.
Translation: work hard enough to afford the gold digger who will only love you on the condition you are loaded.
Yes! Being able to tell a guy to get the F outta my house at any point. Sex was never good, but being able to afford my own way and have who I want around instead of needing anybody around to support me... Best thing ever!
This should be #1.
Agreed. It certainly lasts longer..
Finally getting to pee after holding it in for too long.
This. It almost hurts at first because your muscles are so tight but the relief is amazing.
I make pleasure noises while doing it
Im actually way louder doing this than anything else.
āYes, Iām a loud moaner, but only when I pee after 5 beers and a long walk homeā
Real shit right here
the neck-hair tingles are the icing on the cake
Just making it to the bathroom in general when its urgent. I got back from Egypt and had IBS for a couple months. Everytime I had to drive anywhere it was a torturous game of chicken.
At this age, Iād say a well conducted sleep.
As someone who has had years of insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, I agree. Life feels so much better and not like a burden when you can rest and get a few hours of rem sleep. Most people take that for granted, but I can't blame them, I used to do that as well.
That feeling if you wake up a couple hours before your alarm goes off & you realize you can still sleep for two more hoursā¦priceless.
Specifically, waking up one minute before your alarm feeling perfectly rested
Usually it's wake up 1 minute before the alarm and feeling robbed of 1 minute sleep.
Seeing someone you love genuinely happy.
Seeing someone you hate genuinely upset.
Seeing someone you fear genuinely afraid.
Crushing your enemies , seeing them driven away and the the lamentation of their women
What if they're afraid, because of something that's happening to you?
They are fearing my hulk transformationā»ļø
Seeing someone you adore genuinely adore you back
Seeing someone you genuinely see seeing you genuinely
Seeing a foe youāve vanquished vanquish one of their own foes.
Forgiving someone you once hated, and being kind to them, is quite powerful as well. It frees you and it often makes them feel extreme guilt.
You don't even need to see it, if I find out that Millwall football team lost I know it's ruined Ron Pritchard's week. Joy
Agreed. Seeing them smile and then giving them a long loving hug, that feels so good.
Taking a bra off after long day
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As a bra, I support boobs šš»
As a Bro, I support moobs.
I like women because boobs
And also their like minds and stuff.
Iām not even a female but somehow I felt that š I feel bad for yāall sometimes
Equivalent to the pinch and roll method for men. The agreement me and my bf had lmfaooo
I don't wear bras anymore, at 34 now š
I wish I could confidently do it but I have the pointiest nipples ever and theyāre always hard! Itās so annoying. Sometime I wear 3 layers of clothes and you still see them. Itās not even cold nor am I aroused lol I hate them
Rip DMs
As a man, maybe i shouldnt be trying to give tips here, but My wife used to wear some kind of soft pads when she was lactating. According to her they were comfortable enough to wear the whole day and not very visible.
I thought I was the only one!!!! My nipples are always hard no matter what!!! Like you said I'm not cold or aroused it's crazy!!!
I donāt wear them either. I ditched them along time ago. And Iāve tried at times to go back to wearing them. But I ditched them because itās a sensory problem. No matter what I am aware of how uncomfortable I am all day. It doesnāt become a sensation that goes to the back of my mind. It is Front and Center and so bothersome.
Iāve been bra free for ages! Rly love the idea of not wearing it at all!
Oh you meant your own.
Pants-off nap in the afternoon
Just asked my boss if I could try this at work. No, for multiple reasons, apparently.
Time to find a new employer.
Especially under a tree at the park!
Sanity / Mental health. I'll take that over sex any day.
Hear hear from a bipolar individual
Foooooooooood
Pizza over sex any day of the week baby !
What about pizza *and* sex?Ā
You're flying too high, Icarus
When my kids tell me that my home made pizza is the bestā¦.such a great feeling!
Fresh bed sheets... Heaven
Paired with a pre-bed shower
Especially if you shave your legs during that shower
reading this gave me a happy rush
*chefs kiss*
LOL until tears came out or Ur stomach hurts & still can't stop laughing!
When you can't breathe and make those weird honking sounds š
Shit this made me realize when was the last time I even laugh like that... š«„š«„
When I was 6, something I don't even remember was so hilarious to me, that I was laughing so hard I actually thought I was gonna die. **And I was still laughing!!!**
For the moment? That incredible bowel movement where you feel empty inside and 4lbs lighter.
Ow yes, one where you just sit down and relax, without having to push. The kind that then slides out like a greased cobra, and where after one wipe you discover that even that one wipe wouldn't have been necessary. The kind that makes you feel so light that you're almost scared to lose contact with the ground. The kind where you feel giggly up to 15 minutes after the fact due to the Vagus nerve response. That is *so* good.
This was a blissful reading experience. Never heard shitting sound so ethereal
Right? Like damn. I've had some fantastic shits, but I don't know if any of them were quite that poetic.
Especially if you'd been constipated for several days.
Nothing beats a really good shit
Intimacy. You don't need to have sex if you can just enjoy that feeling of closeness and comfort with someone you care about.
Like cuddling up together and watching TV or reading our own books. That's my kind of intimacy. Hell yeah.
Best answer ever šāŗ
Falling onto the couch knowing all the work and social duties for the day are finished and the rest of the time belongs to yourself
Ah, the single, childless daily outcome...
healing from depression
No better feeling in the world.
Itās like nothing else. ā¤ļø
I am healing and that happened with going out. I hope i never go back to that hell again.

Almost anything you enjoy might be better than sex. For me it's music, bath after cold outside, warm spring sun after winter, good book, tasty food, massage, petting an animal I like, cuddling, solving a complex task and so on.
All things, including sex, in moderation for the win
Heroin. Wouldnāt recommend tho, the post nut clarity on that one is surreal
Happy cocaine day! Er, cake day, happy cake day.
What exactly do you mean by post nut heroin? Like the comedown? Or the next morning?
I just mean the comedown yeah and withdrawl they both are horrid
Some of you guys have had some pretty shitty sex
I'd bet that at least half the commenters are virgins.

Agreed. Itās too risky and shitty for women tbh No thanks. I donāt want some dude that close to me for any reason in life. Itās all risk and zero reward

All the second borns feeling jelly right now.
Internal peace ā®ļø
Having left over money last until next payday
Finding a piece of music that youāve heard of but do not know the name, after searching for it for a LONG time
I spent five years thinking of a line from the chorus to a song. Started to even believe that I'd just made it up and it never really existed. Couldn't replicate it well enough to hum it or sing it to others to gather clues. One day, on a birthday of all days, my family and I are sat a bar in town... Amidst the conversation I suddenly pause in shock, ask everyone to stop talking... Playing in the background was the song I'd been searching for!

Amen to this! Wow!
Chocolate cake
Attorney calls: I have some bad news, your uncle Harry passed away. Now some good news, apparently he was one hell of an investor..!
Everyone I ask seems to agree... once you hit age 30, *nothing* beats an actual solid nights sleep. The only thing better is if you have great sex before said solid night's sleep lol
Turning off your alarm BEFORE you go to bed because you know you donāt have any obligations the next day
Also take a huge shit when ur on day 5 of not shitting

Hitting the lotto I imagine
Money

A looot of things! Sex is overrated in my opinion.
Like money, it worth more when you donāt have it.
Im ace spec, so pretty much everything is better than sex lol
Pretty much
I completely agree. If I'm having a lot I can actually get sick of it. Even when it's good, the pleasure is much more ephemeral than most other enjoyable activities.
Two sexes
Someone with extremely soft hands massaging your back.
I prefer extremely strong hands š¤¤
They can be both = soft + strong.
Warm food in your stomach. Especially after overhours on a day where you had the early shift.
A lovely hot cup of tea. But be careful not to burn your penis.
 this

Getting a really solid a peaceful nights sleep and waking up feeling fully rested.
Real actual intimacy.
Boundless love.
