• Sneezes. I've heard that a sneeze is the closest physical sensation you can get to an orgasm. I agree. I loves me a good sneeze. The corallary to this is the dreaded failed sneeze. I hate it when you have to sneeze, and it sort of peters out before it goes off. That sucks.

• Walking on the back. Having someone walk gently on your back feels all kinds of awesome.

• Scratching your scalp with a fork. I had a high school friend that used to do this. I always thought it was weird and disgusting, so I called him on it. He told me I had to try it before I bashed the practice, so I did. I am now a convert. Lightly scratching your scalp with a dull fork feels really great.

• The smell of freshly cooked bread. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, smells as good as fresh-cooked bread. My mother used to sell real estate, and she always suggested to her potential sellers that they bake some bread before a prospective buyer tours the home. Nothing says "home" like the smell of baked bread. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best smell in the world.

• A deep breath in bitter cold. It's a real pick-me-up. When you take a deep breath of bitterly cold air, you can feel your little lung sacs perk up.<>

• Sex. I don't know if that's appropriate to discuss further. But that's at the top of my list.<>
  
• A good stout or porter after a long day.<>
  
• Walking in falling snow.<>
  
• Smoking a cigar. It's cathartic. I've never smoked a cigarette but the inhalation of smoke can, granted in an odd way, be a great feeling.<>
  
• The feeling of wind on a freshly shaved head.<>
  
• Naps on summer weekend outside<>
  
• Chopping wood. Same for Rowing. Something about the physical exertion with a rhythmn is amazing.<>
  
• Sinking a 3 pointer. Similar to hitting a homerun.<>
  
• Riding with the windows and sunroof down.<>
  
• Driving very fast. I put that behind me soon after getting my license, but there was a great sensation that went with it. Similar to riding a rollercoaster. Or bungee jumping.<>
  
• Digging your toes in warm sand. I live in a coastal town and look forward to it every year.<>
  
• Swimming naked.<>
  
• Hiking.<>
  
• Runners high. The feeling you get 30 minutes into running.<>
  
• Receiving a hand written letter in the mail.<>
  
• A hot shower when you're sick.<>
  
• Freshly brushed teeth. The feeling of it, and the first breath after.<>
  [st]Not sure if these apply, because they aren't as physical as the others.
  • Working hard on an assignment and getting an A (that applies to most things)<>
    
  • Reuniting with friends at the airport.*<>
    
  • The feeling after finishing a good book.
    
    *funny story about that. I met one of my best friends at the airport after she spent the summer in Italy. I knocked over a 3 year old when I picked her up and spun her around. :blush:<>
    [st]I'm sure I'll think of more. But that's it for now :)

Best feeling in the world. Better than sex.
