best sex ever vs. best meal ever

prix fixe

Do Americans pronounce it "pricks fix"? Because I would really love that.

Whoa that kid has Shirt Tails powers!

looool @ snoball

loool @ Abbott

This isn't even a question.

I'm the least food-based human I've ever met. I mean, I like good food a lot, but when I put it up next to sex, it's not even close.

You should meet me then, the true least food-obsessed human, and we can talk about…you know…something other than food, I guess.

food

But yeah, the fact that this is a question sorta blows my mind. I know everyone likes food a lot, but I'm imagining a situation where the door on the left leads to a fantastic meal, and the door on the right leads to fantastic sex, and you choose the food door. And then I'm imagining that there's a hell and that it's the version where you have to view a loop of your most mindboggling mistakes in life, and that the leading clip is you eating a meal and then shitting out that meal the next morning while your hot sex opportunity goes disappointed next door.

I mean, but you're dealing in fantasy. It's def probably much easier to imagine the hottest sex than the yummiest food.

i think it's easier to imagine an uncomplicated amazing meal than uncomplicated amazing sex

the true least food-obsessed human

irl lol

i do think it's lol that Z_S sees every meal from where he takes his first bite to when he ultimately shits it out

and just to say what I would imagine a few of us who're voting "best sex" are thinking: "best sex" isn't like, "hottest sex" exclusively; you're pretty unlikely to have it with a stranger imo, it's not about technique or hot bodies or w/e. it involves very intense emotions, feelings of love & gratitude & acceptance & being able to feel at home in your skin, something a lot of people (raising hand here) have a lifelong problem with. food can comfort and thrill but it can't look you in the eyes and communicate a feeling of acceptance. and I know whiney'll be like "lol you're gonna post pictures!" but guess what jack the board's called "I Love Too Much Information" and if you can't stand the heat get out from under the covers lol

It's def probably much easier to imagine remember the hottest sex than the yummiest food.

I am gonna think about/cherish/remember awesome hot sex on my death bed, I bet, rather than food. I know "death bed" is a morbid rubric.

tbf I will probably be having more food than sex on my deathbed

theoretically i would take the best sex ever with a person of my choice than the best meal ever prepared by a chef of my choice, but unfortunately that isn't a reality -- also that wasn't the poll question!

man abbott & me are separated-by-birth types, I know for a fact that I will be rememberin' my favorite sexings on my deathbed

it's gonna be hella awkward with all the priests around tho

"last rites, aawwwwwww yeahhhhhh!"

xp - catholic priest/altar boy joke

tbf I will probably be having more food than sex on my deathbed

Totally lacking in ambition, here.

Think of Félix Faure, for example.

Il voulait être César, il ne fut que Pompée

I had my best meal ever at César

sex but its real close

This.

sex, not even close
I'll always take middling sex over great food, tbh.

in general, I'd vote "meal" cuz I'm such a huge fan of eating good food, but in keeping with j0rdan's request to compare the best in each category, sex wins narrowly because there was one session that was so ridiculously awesome that it beat out the amazingest meal I had in New York.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

one thing that wasn't discussed is that you can attempt to eat the best meal ever whenever you want (provided you have the funds for the restaurants or ingredient). If you want to make a run at it tomorrow, you can make arrangements and make it happen. Not so for sex (unless you pay for sex which would seem to disqualify you), which imo makes the best sex ever even more special and unique.

Like, the witnessing a solar eclipse wouldn't be so cool if you could make it happen tomorrow evening on your command.

*orders solar eclipse for tomorrow evening*

*strokes cat*

this thread has inspired me however to have sex at el bulli

I discussed this.

i don't know if i agree with this.

aero was killin' it with OTM in this thread, I gotta say.

I mean those pics of Fat Duck dinners put me off fine dining for life (also I almost typed "fat fuck" then, and also also I keep thinking of that scene from IT Crowd where they're at a Blumentahl pisstake resto and are drinking a "wine" that is basically milk and eating forks)

i have no idea why i thought the 'sex' vote was a difficult one a year ago.

i don't know if i agree with this.

depends on what we mean by best meal ever (is it just the food itself, or is it also the atmosphere/context/whatever), i guess. but to me it still seems way easier to look up a bunch of recipes, gather ingredients, and make something, or to go back to the restaurant that once made your best meal ever and order something again, than to attempt to have the best sex ever, which depends on your partner or partners.

although, i guess if you're partner is president of the Best Sex Ever Club, it would probably be pretty easy! :)

I really can't even come up with specific candidates. For either.

Molecular sexonomy.

How about having the best sex ever while eating the best meal ever? (Insert George Costanza reference here.)

i think about this poll too much prob

re-run it with weird variations

the chance to eat the meal you most enjoyed eating, again, but as if it was prepared one week later in time using the same ingredients, VS, the chance to experience dissatisfying sex you have been involved in, but from the other person's perspective

I can go back and have the best meal I've ever had whenever I want, and have done so several times.

I have been trying to have the best sex I ever had for years and have not recreated it yet.

Best sex.

― GLEERILLAZ! (HI DERE)

i nodded sagely throughout this point, and then you picked sex and i was uh no

tbf a pommel horse is pretty hard to get upstairs and into the bedroom

i think even when i was younger and less disgusted by the very idea of sex i still would have voted food
