This is going to be difficult to talk about without getting graphic, so let's be up front.

Yes, obviously consensual sex with someone you trust is unmatched in sensation and feeling in the physical world.

So what comes second to that?

A lot, actually, if the internet it to be believed.


Reddit user, Confused_Citron, wanted to know what feels almost as good as sex when they asked:

"What is the best non-sexual pleasure?"

Not everything has to be physical to feel just as good as the sensation of sexual intercourse.

There are those life experiences, untouched by others, that can match that limitless sensation.

However, we are human after all.

And sometimes a good scratch on the back is just as good as...that other thing.

Shooting All Over You

"Taking a warm shower, and then increasing the temperature ever so slightly, but not too much that it's hard to withstand, and feeling chills shoot across your entire body."

In, Out, In, Out, In...
