It's hard to beat great sex.
But, particularly for singletons, sex isn't always easy to come by.
Then too, as far too may people know, there is also never a guarantee that sex is going to be great.
Luckily, sex is far from the only known form of pleasure.
Some might even say there are other things which are even more pleasurable than sex, and likely much easier to come by.
Redditor sparklingshanaya was curious to learn the things people find as or more pleasurable than sex, leading them to ask:
"What is an alternative but equivalent pleasure to sex?"
Always a relief.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.
The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

        GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

Oct 02, 2025
On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.
Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.
