Itching and itch that has been bugging you for ages has to be one of the best feelings in the world...

A sneeze
Dozing off in freshly washed and sun- dried bedding

I can't think of much, but then I've been single and celibate for coming up.5 years and frankly it's wearing a bit thin.

That said, if someone could send DD off on a lovely holiday and take over caring responsibilities for my elderly parents for a couple of blissful weeks I'd be quite happy to put my desire for a bloody good seeing to on the back burner.

FREEDOM.

I won't let you down

Spa
A great meal you haven’t cooked
A good rant
Going out after a trip to the hairdressers
Sitting in the sunshine with a beautifully prepared cocktail
A takeaway when you’re hungry and tired
Being invited out somewhere pretty after Covid

I better stop, too many things I enjoy more!

Couchbettato · 20/05/2021 16:37

Some people here must be getting really bad sex.

But any way, fresh bed sheets on the same day you've just shaved your legs, and there's no one else in bed.

Echobelly · 20/05/2021 16:38

Really good massage deffo beats sex for me!

Imtootired · 20/05/2021 16:39

A cuddle and lots of kisses with my lovely baby when he’s in a sweet, cheeky mood.
A day with nothing to do except relaxing and lots of cups of coffee and snacks.
A show that is interesting and surprising.
A catch up with friends laughing and enjoying delicious food and coffee.
Going out to the movies.

Threewheeler1 · 20/05/2021 16:49

Root canal
Epilating my armpits
Trapping a finger in the door

Anything really. I'm with Bilbo, my fanny has given up too

@SingingWaffleDoggy

Scratching your ears with a cotton wool bud. Yes, I know it’s not ‘allowed’ but damn it feels sooooo good!
Do you have the look which dogs get when they have a good in-ear scratch? They just look so blissfully happy! 🐶
BatleyTownswomensGuild · 20/05/2021 16:58

Very little that tops really good sex.

Mediocre, awkward, out of sync, bumping uglies type sex on the other hand...I'd rather have a packet of crisps and an episode of Sewing Bee....

Knickerbocker glory

MsMeNz · 20/05/2021 17:03

Sleep. A deep undisturbed sleep and.an u expected lie in. Feels like years since I have that! I do remember the bliss though.

Also just being at a quiet beach hearing the waves and relaxing I'd give up sex to have those things everyday

janlevinson · 20/05/2021 17:08

The first inhalation of Entonox when you're in labour

StarlightLady · 20/05/2021 17:08

Having more sex!

kneesbentarmsstretchedrararaaa · 20/05/2021 17:10

Being in a hot tub with a view of the sea on a cold, blustery day
Getting into freshly laundered sheets
Double cheeseburger and a strawberry shake ... although maybe this is why I am fat and don't have much sex Grin

felinelucky · 20/05/2021 17:18

When I wake up next to Big Cat and he lets me pull him into a spoon and we have another nap with his giant paw against my cheek and the sound of his purring.

mrshonda · 20/05/2021 17:35

Good chocolate, good cake, chilli con carne.

wigglerose · 20/05/2021 17:36

Burping a baby. Particularly if it's a big burp and they immediately stop squirming and crying. Soooo satisfying.

Arrowheart · 20/05/2021 17:36

There isn't a lot better than good sex to be fair.

thecatsabsentcojones · 20/05/2021 17:37

My car in sports mode, I am a bit Clarkson sadly.

Smurfsarethefuture · 20/05/2021 17:44
