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.

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.

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.

Is ?Guzaarish? half English?





Hrithik Roshan?s previous much hyped ?Kites? bite the dust due to excessive use of dialogues in foreign language, the common cinegoer rejected the film as they where unable to connect and couldn?t follow what the actors where speaking on screen. Now we hear from a reliable close hand from the distribution sector that the makers of ?Guzaarish? are considering re-dubbing of the English dialogues in the film so that it becomes more suitable for the Hindi speaking audience.

The close hand on condition of anonymity says that distributors are not much excited about ?Guzaarish? for two main reasons, first, half of the dialogues in the film are in English and second, Hrithik plays a handicap seated in wheel chair which confronts the image of the actor as the romantic, dancing, hero.

The reaction of the all India distributors had made the makers to seriously thinking of re-dubbing theEnglish dialogues.

7 reasons why the world will end on 21/12/2012...


Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that Three years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...


1. Mayan Calendar


The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms



Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says...

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano




Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists

This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap- BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
