What is better - great sex or your favourite food/meal?

Maybe it’s because I am on a diet right now (fast 800) but I am obsessing over food. Stuffing myself with my favourite food is better than sex imo. I’m only 31 and think this. Maybe I’ve been unlucky with men. I probably would answer different when not restricting (possibly not)

Which is better to you?

Maybe my answer is why I am 2 stone overweight.

Depends how hungry you are doesn't it?

BigFatPuddingMonster · 01/07/2024 15:32

Food every single time. I haven't had sex for over 20 years and don't miss it one bit but I couldn't live without chocolate.

QueenOfHiraeth · 01/07/2024 15:33

Food, but I am a fatty!

IncompleteSenten · 01/07/2024 15:33

Food.

Whyisthatonthefloor · 01/07/2024 15:35

Depends if you’re hungry or horny surely?

Personally I go for one then the other.

Sex. Cheers me up for the rest of the day. I love good quality food but I feel lethargic after eating. Sex relaxes me and cheers me up. Puts a spring in my step too.

Notastalker · 01/07/2024 15:36

And to answer a pp, even hungry I'd choose sex.

KStockHERO · 01/07/2024 15:39

Mixed kebab and a pickle tray followed by lamb balti, keema rice, garlic naan and chips, accompanied by five poppadoms will beat any kind of sex, with any kind of person, in any kind of place, every fucking time.

DancingLions · 01/07/2024 15:42

If I'd ever had great sex I would probably choose that, but not sure I ever have!
So if the question were mediocre sex (which is my usual experience) or food, I'd go with the food.

JamSandle · 01/07/2024 15:43

Food.

JamSandle · 01/07/2024 15:44

(I say food because I've rarely had good sex but food is almost always good)

TiredHippo · 01/07/2024 15:44

Sex, but only because what I'm getting is fanbloodytastic at the minute!!!!! But I'm sure both can be incorporated lol x

Voi · 01/07/2024 15:45

Dh and I haven’t had sex in 2 weeks can’t say I’m obsessing over it like I am food right now.

Nothing beats great sex!

Living with basic bland food might be a bit boring, but not a big deal. No great sex is pretty miserable.

MargotMoon · 01/07/2024 16:00

Having not had any for 10 months I'm definitely going with sex! Good sex makes everything seem better

dontcryformeargentina · 01/07/2024 17:14

Sex

MoreThanThis78 · 01/07/2024 17:16

Yes, sex. The good sort. Unfortunately for me it’s much harder to source than food

CloudywMeatballs · 01/07/2024 17:19

Maybe it's because I often have amazing sex with my husband, that I would probably choose an incredible meal. It's just something that I get less often!

MoreThanThis78 · 01/07/2024 17:21

Also, jealous of all the pp regularly having amazing sex! Aghh

MushMonster · 01/07/2024 17:21

Food!!!!!

Icannoteven · 01/07/2024 17:29

Food. Doesn’t even have to be my favourite.

Binman · 01/07/2024 17:46

I swear I have sometimes eaten food that has been so good it has felt orgasmic, think it must endorphins or something. But great sex would be my choice, burns calories too.

DaffydownClock · 01/07/2024 18:06

Food. Definitely food.

That won't help, but it's harder for everyone. It' s just pure luck to find the right sexual partner.

I would give up chocolate and prosecco for the best partner I ever had, but chocolate is everywhere, he's not!
