Aldous Huxley once said, "An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex." While it defines an intellectual, it also defines the majority of the human race that finds nothing more interesting than sex. Nevertheless, there are times when even a common person feels that there is something which feels much greater than sex does. Here are 10 of them.

Sleep

There is something in life that we can never have enough of. No matter how much we are able to sleep in a particular day, we tend to miss the magic of switching it all off. We work hard every day of the week and find ourselves tired, irritated and disgusted all the time. There is nothing more pleasurable than sleep when we are extremely tired.

That Song

We always have a song that defines ourselves. Whenever that song is played, we are at loss of words and just keep silent. It may be the words or the emotional connection you have with the melody. You may never have been able to say those words to the one you really wanted to. That song says it all for you. Especially when it magically appears at the right moment, there is nothing better than that song.

Having a Dog

Let's admit it. Your dog loves you more than he loves himself. No matter how pathetic you are as a person, it still loves you. Whether you are insanely rich or miserably poor, a saint or a sinner, happy or despondent; he always loves you. He waits for you. No. Sex does not even stand a chance.

Having a Baby

You may never know what blind love is until you become a parent. They say that love is like water which flows downward. It is the same for love. We tend to love people who are younger than us. You may never have loved your parents more than how they love you. It may be the same for your children as well. The moment you hold your baby for the first time, it's magic.

That Call

Is it your ego? Or, are you hurt so much that you are not going to make that phone call? No matter how much you want to talk to that person, you are not going to allow yourself to be so weak that you make that phone call. You check your phone a few times within minutes. Call a random person to check if your phone is working properly. Then hang up fast. And then when you lose all your hope of talking to that person again in your life, that call comes. Sex ? Say it again!

Love

Yes, even in the 21st century when people have multiple options for everything they want and for everything they don't; love remains irreplaceable. When you love someone, it is such a wonderful feeling that you may forget about sex which then becomes a part of your love-life among million others.
