So what exactly is 'great' sex?
 

I've been wondering this for awhile as it's not something that comes up in polite conversation.

I realize this is a very subjective matter and what is great for some people may be ho-hum for others.

What I want to hear is everyone's opinions on the matter so that maybe I can learn a thing or two from everyone else's experiences.

For me, I just got married after being together for 5 years. We've been sexually intimate for 4 and a half years already. At the start things weren't so satisfying for her because we were still learning the ropes about how to please each other and using birth control and everything. After a year we really started to find our rhythm and I can bring her to orgasm practically everytime now, although I still have a few off days.

We are both each other's first lover so neither of us really has anything to compare to. All I know is I really enjoy sex and I'm pretty sure she does too. It isn't always great but sometimes we can both get in the 'mood' and things are really great.

So what's 'great' sex for you?

I hear you man, and I think we're in the same boat. I've been married for almost 4 years, and we were both each other's first. When we do it, it's good, but I don't think she's ever had an orgasm. She has told me this. She enjoys it, but I guess we're still working on it. Well, really we've only been active since November due to earlier complications. But anyway, the point is that we both enjoy it, but I know it could be better. To me, great sex would be both of us being completely into it for at least an hour, both coming to amazing orgasm, and being totally worn out afterwards. Whaddya think?

If both my wife and I enjoy it, it's 'great'.

It's anything that makes us both say, "wow" afterwards. I can get a serious workout in a 15-minute session and I've also gone the better part of an entire weekend (stopping for occasional food and sleep) and they are both great.

There are specific things that make it "great" for me, but I don't think enumerating them does the question any good. If you're both enjoying it, it's great sex.

Well I'll toss my 2 cents in.
I think "great sex" is anytime both people come out completely satisfied. Time and # of orgasms are not necessary parts of the equation.
While going on for an hour is kool(oh yes it is), it is not at all necesary.
I've been stuck in the couldn't get her to the O before. Not good for the ego, but it's still possible for both of you to be satisfied.
Remember PORN IS NOT REAL!!!!!

where is no longer a need for anything more

If I orgasm hard enough to be too exhausted to go to the bathroom postcoital, and instead I roll over and fall dead asleep: that, my friend, is great sex.

(p.s. I'm not a man.)

Speak for youself, friend.

My definition of great sex is sex that transports you - makes you forget everything but the person you're with and the sensations you're feeling. Being in that moment, totally into each other, orgasm or no it's very fulfilling.

motdakasha's got the idea!!! how do you do that? I'd like my wife to experience that! :)

Too Much Information

Exactly - and man is that a good feeling :)

anything with my ex gf was great sex, as it is for everybody when they find that 1 special person.

yep yep...
Sex with the person you love!! :D

The key to great sex I think is it has to be with someone that you have a deep emotional bond with. Sure, I've had sex with a couple good looking girls, but looking back on my great sexual encounters, those weren't in there. Some of my best ones have had very deep emotional bonds, and I got satisfaction knowing that I was pleasing her. Completely losing yourself in what you are doing I think is also another good sign. I remember many times looking at the clock at the beginning and seeing the clock say 6, then finish up at 8 and feeling like we were only going at it for half an hour.

great sex is enjoying yourself and the person your with.

I will consider it great sex if...

I walk out of the bedroom staggering, head spinning, and thirsty. As long as I can physically do NOTHING afterwards, then we've done our job (i.e. had great sex).

If I can muster up enough energy to walk to the next room casually and without any complications, that means we're A) not done yet or B) not done yet.

Also, if I want to consider it great sex, we must have enjoyed a minimum of 3 releases a piece.

Needless to say, I've yet to have <i>that</i> version of great sex. Someday ... I will have a night with a girl (hopefully my current lady friend) who can endure, or will try to endure, the extent of sex that I'd like to experience.

Great sex is definitely not what I just had.

To me great sex seems to give me a feeling that my partner and I have had a connection on an emotional level as well as the physcial. I don't even need to cum to feel like the sex was great. If both partners are truely focused on each other and not on getting themselves just to cum then for me the sex is great.

Great sex is when she is completely satisfied and the thought of moving after doesn't get past the thought stage;) :D

I'd think a good indicator would be having your eyes roll back into your head.;)

My first response was that it's great if I don't have to pay for it and don't have to worry about the little man getting sick but that's not what you were looking for so...


It's great sex for me if we both pass out afterwards in a sea of cum, sweat, blood and tears. I want pain and pleasure at the same time... hair pulling, choking, teeth marks and everything that goes along with being sick and twisted. I want her to scream for more and push me away at the same time. It's only great if you lose track of time and never want it to end.

Great sex to me is when it's over you AND your significant other are both satisfied

"t's great sex for me if we both pass out afterwards in a sea of cum, sweat, blood and tears.

I'll have to amend my first definition of great sex. World's King's description sounds so very appealing and maybe even more so than my previous definition.

If is great sex when both partners cum at the same time and afterward they can't move the rest of the night, except if they are having sex again!!!

A skilled giver is a must.
