Better than Sex???

Elyse1384 · October 2015

For those of us not "taking one for the team", in some unspoken competition for who can have the most sex or embellishing high school style about how much sex we're having, what are you in a relationship with that is even better than sex?

I'm having a better than sex relationship with food and parking perks at work and stores (not because I can't walk, but because it's easier to carry my flailing toddler around and not spend 10 minutes at the office parking garage stalking folks for a spot).

I'm actually really enjoying my sexless life right now. DH and I have been spending more quality time together. And I'm also in love with my coffee from dunkin I've been waking up to every morning. Oh and Reese's pumpkins. That's way better than sex.

I've been told to rest and take it easy twice now (I was, so I'm not sure why it isn't working) but I'm in a relationship with nap time everyday! DD naps 2 to 3 hours every afternoon and so do I!!!

I made these caramel spice cupcakes with pumpkin frosting the other day.. Definitely better than sex.

Oo I like this!
I truly remember being not so much younger and thinking that "better than sex" was a silly statement.
But now my eyes have opened!
If my SO cuddles me or rubs my head then I'm good to go and so satisfied intimacy-wise.
Watching movies lately at night has been really satisfying, too. I'm not a frequent movie watcher, so that's new to me.
Also, whenever someone decides to clean other than me I just melt.
Oh. Food. Although "better than sex" might not quite work.. Sometimes I love food, sometimes it's more like emotional breakup sex.
Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited to get sexy in between the sheets, but for now, a Jurassic Park marathon in on a clean room with a head rub is... Ahh

My pillows, all the pillows built in a fortress around me. They support me, comfort me, toss and turn without nary a complaint with me. On the rare occasion that I do manage some enthusiasm for "quality time" with spouse, it is usually quick, to the point and have been resulting in charlie horses (for me anyhow) more than anything else. But oh, my pillows... we spend hours together. And to give SO his due, he has been giving back rubs AND reading Outlander out loud to me as I hunker down among the pillows. So all of that combined...better.

chadsfiance · October 2015

My husband cleaned the toilets yesterday. I don't think he's ever done that.

shellperry · October 2015

I'm on the better then sex train with the movie marathon and a back rub! His chest is like the perfect pillow

Finding an outfit that makes me feel like a normal human being and not a sleep deprived, toddler mom with a watermelon crammed in my stomach.

Lolo427 · October 2015

Hot baths. My god, it's gotten to the point I pull into the drive way and am in the tub within minutes of me walking in the door. Aaaaaammazzzing

tayzav · October 2015

Everything. Food, naps, back rubs, snuggling on the couch. Sex is the last thing on my mind since I can't even roll myself outta bed without getting a simpithy push from SO.

KeHill08 · October 2015

A cold sprite with hot pizza. Not sure what it is, but I've been craving sprite lately and when I have one, I'm quite happy.

lakesideknitter · October 2015

Saturday naps with DH. Soaking them up now, because I know they'll be impossible once LO arrives!

doodleoodle · October 2015

Hot chocolate

bellie1223 · October 2015

I'm almost with you @Lolo427, except hot showers, I don't like baths. I seriously take like three steamy showers a day, it's the only thing that helps me feel human!

I've been obsessed with Sprite/Sierra mist this entire pregnancy! Actually, pop in general, and I've never been a pop drinker.

Ooh my. This x10000.

dramaphile · October 2015

The prenatal massage I got today was better than sex, as is my relationship with cheese. Cheese and I are getting hot and heavy on a regular basis. I almost cried the other day because we had zero cheese left in the whole house. And these grapes I got from the produce stand, big and sweet and crunchy.. Mmmmmmmm

BowWowBowie · October 2015

Mango peach juice.
Cheese.
Taco Bell.
Food in general.
Netflix/Hulu.

Jeopardy.

flas · October 2015

I'm getting a pedi next week for me just any sort of pampering or massage is way better. DH is getting tons of practice in for the big day.

Knottie16832459 · October 2015

My vibrator. The only thing I can say that's better than sex right now is my dear rabbit. Sex is pretty super...or at least from what I can remember? It's been a trimester or 2...

I think you may have missed the point...

WeirdAlice · October 2015

My bf acting more like an actual bf this past week,
DD'S adorable laugh, and her smile, and her hugs, and just her in general. (when she's not being a brat and throwing a tantrum from he!!),
And music. I have had a obsession with wanting to listen to music 24/7. I loved it before but didn't listen to it nearly as much.

laswett · October 2015

This is going to sound super weird, and I promise I have no other symptoms of Pica or anything else weird, but for the last week or two, I can't get enough of the smell of hot water or the resulting steam. Running hot water in the sink and smelling the steam, taking a shower or walking in the bathroom after SO has taken one is so incredibly satisfying. I feel like I belong on a TLC or Discovery Health show.

dmiller1213 · October 2015

Is sex at 38 weeks safe??

lakesideknitter · October 2015

mrsgabus · October 2015

Nachos with cheese ,hamburger and hot peppers with salsa and sour on the side.

Grapes and mandarins

Hot showers and naps

PetitNightingale · October 2015

Literally anything fried. Do not care about sex. Care even less about the sex threads, which make even me eye roll.

AmyReneT · October 2015

Massages of any kind. There's a girl that comes in every two weeks at my work and does chair massages and I started at week 5 and have had one every two weeks since! Then my DH got me a prenatal massage for our anniversary and the place it was at "talked'' me in to doing their monthly membership so I got that plus a couple extra here and there. I would literally have a massage every. single. day. of I could afford it... It's the only thing that's kept me sane through this pregnancy. Seriously, if you haven't got one yet, DO IT.

What about 39 weeks and 2 days?

Naps are better than sex right now.

MercyC1130 · October 2015

@amyrenet Um. Where do you work?!

@mrsgabus This is literally everything I crave! Minus the hamburgers and add quesadillas. I've been going through a bag of grapes every other day. And I just learned about donuts in a waffle press.
Went thrift store shopping and found a waffle maker for a few bucks just to try this...

AmyReneT · October 2015

I work at a huge office building downtown Kansas City and a company called ChairMasters or something comes in and the whole office building can set up Appts to get a ten or twenty min massage! It's pretty sweet.

sadyy131 · October 2015

First, sugar. Anything sugar.
Next, my strange pica of doing the laundry because I'm obsessed with the smell of my laundry detergent/fabric softner (no I do not want to eat it, yes I talked to my doctor and yes I have low iron).
Lastly, the free chipotle coupons I got the other day after the cashier said "omg, congrats! Are you overdue? youre huge!" And after a long, annoying day I instantly became a sobbing mess lol (due date is in 6 weeks #-o)

Edit: because I keep adding extra words

oliarnmom1517 · October 2015

So the first time I watched that episode of my strange addiction I didn't know it at that moment but he had the exact same car I had only in red.. I could never look at my car again.. It's a 90s lumina... Yup I still can't even look at the car (sitting in my moms driveway) without thinking "somebody really thinks a car just like mine is sexy and he's IN LOVE with his car" ... I drove my brothers car for a few days when I was able to because it was just too weird for me... Anyways my orange juice I had yesterday was amazing and I totally wish I hadn't cheated yesterday because I would have loved to go get some type of fruit juice today.. And I think I deserve a cookie after the crazy day I've had today.. But I'll hold off and have my husband buy me something special after the baby is born..

lulamagoo · October 2015

I am having a relationship with Indian food, my uggs (yes I am basic, I don't care), sweat pants and hot chocolate.

Midgetsmommy13 · October 2015

Wet hair from the shower crawling into bed with my ceiling fan and stand up fan blasting on me and feeling cold for a second. For hotter then hell Phoenix weather... Getting a slight chill... This is my better then sex.
