Poll: Is food better than sex?

[JSkunk22]

I love me some food, really it's pretty damn awesome. Sex is alright, but cuddling for me tends to be more superior in terms of intimacy. Now, if I had food during that? Chances are things would get awkward.

 

[Cewebwalz]

I'd rather have an evening doing the hump, rather then eating Steak that tastes like butter.

 

[SD-Fiend]

It depends on the occasion really. I won't have sex if I'm really hungry, and I wouldn't go to Burger King if I was horny (unless of course if I want to bugger a greasy sandwich) .

well we all know that SOMEONE out there wants to

 

[historybuff]

Wired to like both. Lean towards sex. You can work out all that weird psychological stuff with chains and leather. So it's better exercise and better for your body than food.

Hmm, 100.1% people have voted. Which is surprising since only 33.8% voted for food - although I suspect most people voted 'sex' for their self-confidence issues.

Why do you say that? Some people like sex, we're designed to.

OP is asking what is better, not what is more essential.

True, but I think you missed the joke that 100.1% of people suggests that some like their food a little TOO much...and thus count for .1 of an another person.

But you're right in that some people (myself included) would rather have a 3-course shag than a 3-course meal

Sorry, my joke-detection-meter is a little off when I'm hungry.

Pfff, who has 3 course meals? Too much food.

Well I certainly don't. I'd lose my six-pack. Maybe a three-course meal of meat and fruit...

There's a sort of annual tradition in Australia where a couple of comedians get together and debate a particular topic in front of a live audience. I don't know if there's anything comparable in other countries, but it's great fun down here and they're about halfway through this year's, the topic being whether or not food is better than sex. I can't watch it all right now, as Sanctuary is about to start on another channel and damned if I'm going to miss that, so I'll finish watching the debate later on the recorder

Anyways, I thought I might ask the Escapist's opinion on the matter: what really is better? Food or sex?

Too minor notes:
1) Search bar approved
2) Let's try and keep it, err, relatively clean. I do hope the topic itself won't get me a probation. My logic is that if it's good enough for Monday night Aussie telly, it's probably good enough for the internet.

I was sourly disappointed by tonight's (well, okay, now last night's) debate ending. The Affirmative had a much better argument, well thought out and funny, the Negative did jack shit to persuade their point and some how they won. The British guy didn't talk about anything relevant, just how he was sick of American porn (and enjoys pelvic thrusts of TV too) and the American guy loved food to the point of insanity and then tried to prove his point with a 2% demographic. For Shame.

I only actually managed to watch Cal Wilson and Fiona O'Loughlin's arguments in between watching Good Game and Sanctuary, but I'd have to have gone with Cal Wilson as having the better argument of the two. O'Loughlin spent a lot of time just talking about food making you fat and then moving into menopause and then some random angel guy came down and started yabbering about god designing the first people, which I didn't catch much of, because it seemed miles away from anything approaching a point and I zoned out towards the beginning. Half the time she seems to be making the other team's point for them.

I'll have to get around to watching the rest of it some time today.

OT: Incidentally, I myself went for food. Dunno 'bout anybody else here, but I've never found a veggie burger to become all needy and smother me after I've eaten it. Also, if you forget your special rubber mouth protective, chocolate cakes don't come looking for mini-cupcake support.

Food's definitely better than sex. If sex makes you look bigger, it's only for a few months, plus you have to be a woman, plus you'll throw up a lot. You can eat and get bigger, and stay bigger indefinitely. Unless you run out of food. In which case you can offer yourself for sex and eat your partner.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Could be both, depends on what's on the menu, really.

Agreed.
Depends on the quality of the girls whoopie as opposed to what food.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Food when done perfectly.

Will I choose food over sex? Hell no. I'll have sex then buy a goddamn cheeseburger when I'm done, because I don't have to choose.

There's a sort of annual tradition in Australia where a couple of comedians get together and debate a particular topic in front of a live audience.

In the States there was a show hosted by lewis black called the root of all evil. there would be two topics and comedienne would argue as if it was a trial and see what is the root of all evil. such as Donald trump or viagra.

but anywho i would say food but sex is at number two. you can't just survive on sex alone. or can you?

 

[Reaper195]

I love eating. I love sex. Combining the two together will have some interesting results, and at least one raised eyebrow.

 

[presidentjlh]

Being that I've only experienced one of those things, I am pretty limited in my perspective, but I find food to be a more enjoyable pleasure, or at least the more accessible: It's way easier to obtain, it's cheaper for the most part, it is something that can be done in public (well, I guess both could...if you're into that). There aren't many stigmas attached with food. No waiting in between events: You don't have to wait three hours after having an apple to have another one.

 

[presidentjlh]

My pathetic ass is 18 and still a virgin. Don't know how good sex is, but it'll have to be pretty fucking great to beat a grilled ham-and-cheese with a side of Cool Ranch Doritos...

Being 18 and a virgin doesn't make one pathetic. I, personally, am saving myself for marriage (both willingly and unwillingly.) and find it to be an admirable trait.

 

[steampunk42]

not sure get back to me on that

 

[Infinatex]

I'm surprised with how many votes food actually got lol

 

[nofear220]

I only experienced one of these. I am really curious how food tastes . HEOOOOOOOO

Spoiler: Seriously though,

I only tried food :'(

LOL

but anyway, you are missing out man...

It all really depends on the food or the girl. I would rather eat a hamburger than pork a fat chick, but give me a hot chick and Id turn down the best meal of my life.

 

[kickyourass]

You can live without sex, but you can't live without food. Guess which one I'd pick (Why yes I am a virgin, person you will inevitably ask).

 

[vento 231]

You need food, but not sex.
