10 Things Better Than Sex

10. Housework

According to a National Housework Survey held in 2006 in Britain, Times Online reports that over 60 percent of woman enjoyed housework rather than sex. 6 out of every10 women said that cleaning their houses “made them feel in control of their life” and the same proportion found cleaning “mentally therapeutic”. Three quarters of the women surveyed kept up this regime of cleaning despite being in full or part-time work. Only 22 per cent of respondents enjoyed the process, but 64 per cent found happiness in the results of their labours.

Nearly half admitted some sort of addiction to cleaning; a similar proportion wished that they could cut down, and 4 in 10 said that they were “no longer in control of their cleaning habits” and said that they found more satisfaction in cleaning than in sex. While 80 per cent compared the cleanliness of other homes with their own, 6 out of 10 mothers thought that a messy house would lead visitors to believe they were a “bad mother”.

9. Unwrapping the Present and Finding the Thing You Wanted

You have asked your parents for that, they don’t seem to care, neither your boss gives you enough salary so you could afford it nor your loved one seems affected by your wish of having that stunning gadget playing with your fingers, yes you know now that the world is cruel but one day out of a sudden you get a surprise gift and when your unwrap it, you stare at it with your mouth opened and saliva dribbling from one corner and then you regain consciousness and exclaim “oh my gawd! this is what i wanted”, yes that’s the best moment and definitely you’d prefer it over sex. Even better is if you get an iphone sealed in a shimmery wrapper.

8. Sleep

According to the Sleep Well website based out of Stanford University there are at least ten reasons why sleep is better than sex. It says “you don’t feel guilty about doing it alone, no one will start rumours about how much you do it, you won’t complain in the morning about not getting any, you don’t have to pay for it, you don’t need to sleep after sleeping. It can last a good eight hours. (or even more) and while sleeping, you can have sex with anyone you want, and of course it’s legal to sleep in any position whichever country you live in”. A study conducted at the Edinburgh Sleep Center reported that over 79.2% people (out of 8500) preferred good night’s sleep over sex.

7. Making up After a Big Fight

You just had a very bad argument with someone who is close to you and now you are sitting there and wondering what in the world went wrong and how can you work from this point on. Realizing that life isn’t perfect and that there will often be disagreements or huge arguments will make you think that it doesn’t have to end there, and that there is a chance for recovery. Patching up after a big fight is not as simple as sweeping up broken pieces of a broken vase, but however when you finally do make up with them, it is hard to put your emotions aside and it is one of the best sensations ever and yes better than sex!

6. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

We don’t know its morally right or not but looking at the consequences, but the growing practice of embryo eugenics looks like a beautiful example of where science can take us but on the long run this may cause extinction of our “normal humans” race by those super-kids produced by these methods (because there is always survival of the fittest as said by Darwin), therefore it would be controversial to decide whether we should continue the procedure or not. Many people have been benefited and many going to be mothers (and wealthy) would prefer it far over sex because this is a definitely a genetic lottery system where you can create your custom kid, decide his hair color, eye color, IQ, skin tone and screen out diseases. Slate Magazine describes the wide range of possibilities with this system but yes you might not be able to answer “Mommy, where did I come from?”

5. Dating Your Favourite Celebrity

Fans understand that you can’t have sex with your favorite celeb because his/her guards probably will end up killing you in a round of bursts. But you’re always ready to give up your this wish for you love her/him madly. She/He’s so awesome that it’s all worth it – she/he’s extremely hot, drives an expensive car and most of all you feel he/she is out of the world.

Chocolate mousse cheesecake or sex with Jessica Alba, no doubt cheesecake all the way, nothing beats that euphoric sensation of shoveling cheesecake down throat of many people. However everyone would prefer one of their favorite delicacy far over sex and especially after a long diet when you have starved staring at your friends having bacon. There are 302 recipes called “Better Than Sex Cake” at Cooks.com alone and for cookie lovers, there are many “better than sex cookie”recipies at CookieRecipieOnline.

And bite your tongue! Evidence is mounting that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you: a happier heart, decreased blood pressure and boosted up memory as compared to Sex which is not good for people with heart problems and causes forgetfulness and distraction.

3. Losing Weight

No one likes to look fat and losing pounds is definitely i would say better rather having sex. Being slim can be the love of life and more of it creates a good appeal too so I’d say its like a double edged sword. According to a research, most people would love to lose a 10 pounds than having sex. An article at Statson also tells how walking is better than sex.

2. Internet and Gadgets

If you were wondering where Internet access ranks in today’s lifestyle choices, take a gander at the results of a new survey sponsored by Intel. People would forgo sex for two weeks rather than lose a week’s worth of access to the Internet. According to the survey, 46 percent of women and 30 percent of men would abstain from sexual activity for two weeks than go without Internet access for the same time-frame. The percentage spikes higher, to 49 percent, among women ages 18 to 34 years old and to a whopping 52 percent for 35 years old to 44 years old.

Another survey conducted by Dial-a-Phone, a cell phone retailer in the UK, reported that 24 percent of women, would rather give up sex than their mobile phone.

1. Saying “I love you” For the First Time

Love is timeless while sex is just a one night stand. It’s accurate that love can happen at any age, but true feelings of love have a sweet level of maturity to them. It isn’t just about hot and heavy attraction. It isn’t about lust. It isn’t obsessing about your partner to the point where you can’t function. Lasting, true love happens in bits, slowly and surely until you finally realize “this is the one.” It doesn’t take forever to develop, but it also doesn’t occur at first sight or when you’re thirteen either.

Suddenly… you feel it. You’re in love! Now what to do? Do you just blurt it out? Wait for your partner to say it first? What’s the best strategy? The first moment when you realize you’ve met “the one” can be filled with excitement… and sometimes, dread. After all, you don’t want to come off too eager and just blurt out those three little words. Or do you? But truly; saying “I love you”for the first time to your “one” is by far the most beautiful moment of one’s life. And when you do it with confidence and authenticity and when you know your love is strong enough that expressing it won’t scare the one, you are at that height of pleasure which no other thing can bring and definitely thing too ordinary like sex is far behind.
