Being able to connect with someone on a deeper level. Also foreplay and the lead up to sex. ?

More sex.

Dinner .. Because without dinner you would starve so no sex !

Catching a shiny Pokémon. Trust me.

For me, a good massage is way better.

I give up, what?

It depends somewhat on age I think. Between 17 to 50 I would have answered "more sex" . Now I find a good book or even a TV series satisfying.

Transcending craving for the gratification of sense-pleasures.

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!

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.

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.

Good question lol.

Not sure if sex is number one, but it is way ahead of what ever is number two. Am only 75 years old, haven't lived long enough to find whats "better".

Orgasms

KARAOKE!

Opera! Well, it's better than bad Sex and some Opera comes close to good Sex. Best not to risk it and combine the two!

Being drunk. It lasts longer, more people can be involved, rather inexpensive, and always satisfying until you wrap your Camry around a poorly placed tree. Plus getting drunk gives you a better shot at having sex if you survive the accident but then again in nine months you might have to name another one.

Non commercial massage is amazing but always leads to.........Straight up massages are amazing but leave you wanting.

Genuine applause from an appreciative audience

I am 61 years old. In 1983 I was living in a 1 bedroom apartment with my son. My wife had left me. I worked at night so I would sleep on the couch while my son watched tv or played with a neighbor to keep him in sight. One day he was watching the Three Stooges and Curly was caring clam soup, the clam was squirting soup in his face. My 2 year old son was hysterical, he said there was a frog in the soup. That was better than sex.

Sleeping in late, a really good cup of coffee, shopping, eating a great meal.....many things

Sex with promise of more sex afterward. And then waffles.

Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute.

Companionship. When it doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, because the person you're with is your source of joy.
