17 Supposedly Good Things That In No Way Compare To Oral Sex
I'm all about the pleasure principle. Many things bring me joy, because life is too short not to indulge. And I often indulge in supposedly good things that in no way compare to oral sex. That's right, you heard me. Oral sex — whether giving or receiving — is just about the best indulgence on earth. And there's the obvious reason oral is so good — it makes you feel good. According to Psychology Today, both the head of the penis and the clit each contain over 7,000 sensory nerve endings, making these body parts super sensitive. Fondled directly with a tongue, the clit or glans sends a message of pleasure to the brain, like, "Wow, I'm loving this!"
Aside from the scientific rationale for why oral feels so good, there's also a psycho-emotional factor. At least for me. When my partner is focussing all attention on me, I feel like a queen. Legs spread and reclining in my happy place, I can't think of a better way to spend the day... or night. True, there are some other awesome things in life that deserve props. These supposedly really good things are the bomb dot com, but they in no way compare to oral sex.

That new promotion, not so much.
