A Multitude of Things That Are Way Better Than Sex as Told by College Students

I took an uber home last week at like 2 a.m. after “hanging out with a guy” and I would just like to say that I full on gave my driver Rodney 5 stars. He was the most pure and kind old man I have ever met and we began talking about relationships. I’m not going to dive into a whole spiel about what he said, but it was such an adorable and wholesome conversation that inspired me to write this article. It’s 2019 and everything about anything is about sex. However, my 10 minutes with Rodney reminded me of the times where the most basic and random things were so much more amazing than a quickie. So I present to you, a list of things that are better than sex, as told by 20 college students. *Some responses have been altered to better fit the context*
