From the article: What Is Great Sex?
Great sex can be hard to quantify. Is it the best orgasm you’ve had? The most intimate connection? Is great sex the same as hot sex? Can you have great sex with someone you barely know? Trying to define great sex can be both fun and instructive, as long as you don’t approach it as if you’re writing a playbook and you accept that everyone’s definition for great sex will be uniquely their own.

Pre-Orgasm

I enjoy that, and usually I do my best to make it longer every time.

being human

I recently had an excellent sexual encounter. We were not in love, but there is a trust and respect in our relationship. The experience for me was letting go of inhibition and enjoy being as human as possible, while both giving and receiving great pleasure.

pre orgasm is nice

Sex is when i feel orgasm and became as if flying in space, and feeling that my partner is flying with me.

Great Sex

Great sex happens only with the person you are in love with and since both are in love there is nothing stopping you to go the littile bit far.Its ok because both understand each other perfectly.

Great sex

Great sex, is the one that you have with the person that you love, it doesn't matter if it is oral or anyway, if you love the person and she loves you, that's the great sex.

the soloist

there is a scene in the Soloist where Nathaniel Ayers is experiencing a piece of music. That scene is the closest thing I have ever seen to a accurate description of great sex. Words are formed in a very small section of our brain and require a small part of our body to produce. I do not expect that they would be adequte to describe something that consumes the whole brain and body and moves it outside of itself.

Release

For me it's all about the release, that satisfying end to something and the drifting off to sleep feeling completely content. I wouldn't say an orgasm is required every time, but it def. helps.

Get Lost

I think great sex is the kind when you almost forget your having sex; when you're so unselfconscious that you're just experiencing wonderful feelings and your totally engaged and in sync with another person.
