nothing like an orgasm?

There's nothing that compares even slightly to an orgasm for me. Back massages can bring me close, and I probably could orgasm if the massage included licking/kissing/biting/scratching my back. Also running fingers lightly down my back makes me feel tingly and nice, sort of like the pre-sexual activity feeling.

Full-blown adrenaline rush when your life is threatened: best feeling my body ever experienced. Far more intense than any orgasm.

Winning a life-or-death struggle is even more intense than an orgasm. After a few of those, nothing really seems so supremely exciting. After you've been in combat, nothing compares to it. It's exciting, terrifying, so deadly, so vibrantly alive- indescribable. Imagine the rush you'd get from bungee jumping at night. Multiple that by 6. Now you sorta understand. Now add in feeling immensely connected to the people standing beside you, Best damn feeling ever! There is no way sex feels that good. I ჰავენ'თ ბეენ ინ ბათთლე ფორ 4 მონთჰს; I'მ სთართინგ თო გო აბსოლუთელy ნუც.

Wtf? I've been in all kinds of situations: near death experiences, multiple marathon finish lines, child birth, and I teach exercise for a living. Yet, nothing compares to sweet, sweet orgasms.

"Anticipation" is not orgasm. Orgasm is an orgasm, "mechanical" or not.

A couple of things that cause me as great as happiness (not physical pleasure because there is no comparison) is landing that role. And related to that is the applause from a live audience because it feels pretty damn good. Also, PR- ing while crossing that marathon finish line is something that I can't really explain with words. You just gotta do it to know. Btw, endorphins don't feel like an orgasm. I'm regularly high on endorphins from my running so I know. Lol.

Massages? Meh, they physically make me feel good but orgasms take me over the edge. Finishing an hour and a half of a hot yoga class is pretty similar to a massage, probably even better. I'm closer to Nirvana after a hot yoga class than I am after a massage.

Foreplay is great, but an orgasm makes me scream and see God.

Sometimes that first kiss with that hot guy is pretty hot. But honestly, the orgasm with him is even better. Lol.

I've heard finally peeing after holding it in for a long time is the closest to an orgasm. I'll agree it's a HUGE relief but it's still not as earth shattering as a glorious orgasm that shoots electricity to your toes.

Obviously, the response to the question is highly subjective.
