My name is Jingthing and I will be your poll server tonight.
Please vote on BOTH QUESTIONS, to appease the mechanics of multiple question polls.
This poll inspired by a segment of Bill Maher's Real Time show where he posits there are two kinds of people in the world, the "foodie" types who feel food can be as great as sex and the rest who think people who say that are crazy!
So which kind are you?
Also split it into Thailand residents and not, to see if there is more of a sex emphasis or not among residents in Thailand.
Enjoy the poll.

Well, sometimes food can be translated as sex and vice-versa.
Btw, is there such a creature as a nopat?

Totally different experiences. Sex wins every time...in that context food becomes mere fuel.

Of course different experiences, but that isn't the question, is it?

I've answered it. In that post coital hunger lobster or beans on toast would taste the same. Back to the bedroom for more fun please. 
There is no food I can think of now which gives me such pleasure. Also eating once an evening is enough. maybe the ladies will feel differently...

To quote my friend, a Medical Doctor (not necessarily relevant)
"There is nothing as over-rated as a bad shag or as under-rated as a good dump"
I suppose pleasures are a bit like roads; if it's not the direction you want to go, it doesn't matter how good it is.

lovely blackened and chargrilled chicken wings served up with a cocktail or two sounds better than sex right now but then I suspect I'm just hungry.
Why are your topics so tricky JT?

Could you go a chicken supper, Bobby Sands?
I went by the Indian 24-hour place (speculation there; I've never been between 1 am and 10 am) for a Biryani with cabbage, chick peas and some meat - probably mutton on the way home. Cheaper than a shag, and I'll probably get a good dump out of it in the morning.

Let's see, if my wife came into the bedroom nude and carrying the best hamburger Chiang Mai offers - the hamburger would get cold.  A Freudian topic, should be interesting. There is a strong relationship between sex and food so can be difficult to establish a priority.
Food and sex are inextricably linked. Feeding insures survival of the individual while sexual activity insures survival of the species. Beyond biology, making love and eating share psychological attributes as two of life's greatest pleasures, both capable of providing a sense of nurturing, comfort, and being loved as well as instant gratification. Paradoxically, the two drives can also be the source of much psychological conflict, guilt, and shame. They generate anxiety in many cultures, partly because these are traits we share in common with animals.
Speaking of Food and Sex
The language we use to describe sex and food is very similar. In The Rituals of Dinner (p. 18), food anthropologist Margaret Visser describes a meal as a ritual in which "desires are aroused and fulfilled." We speak of fat, in particular, with sexual connotation—words like " juicy," "tender," "satisfying," " greasy," "soft," "great mouth-feel." In popular culture, the semantic commonality and double entendres are even more pronounced. A T-shirt sold in New Orleans, for example, displays a picture of a Louisiana oyster with the words "Eat me raw" (Schell, p. 203). The pages of women's magazines are largely filled with articles on food or sex with a typical headline reading "The Next Best Thing to Sex is . . . Chocolate."

I intentionally avoided asking if food can sometimes be BETTER than sex. I reckon many people feel that sometimes it is, but obviously those people would also agree good food can at least be as good as good sex.

Was he allowed conjugal visits SC? If so she must have brought a banana or two to keep his pecker up so to speak.

You'll need to explain to me the sexual connotations of "juicy", "tender", "greasy", "eat me raw"
and while you're at it, can you add in "salty", "spicy", "tasty", "succulent"
oh - and "lardy", "dripping", and "rancid"?
As far as I am aware, these are all simple terms realted to food.
As my English teacher said "Don't do that in the exam..."
I've never been one with a sophisticated palette, and I've always found the term "acquired taste" to be a euphemism for "expensive and unpleasant". Anyway, I cannot think of any time that I have compared, for a trade-off, sex and food, so I am unable to answer the questions.

I don't know; I was only young at the time. From the penultimate line of the song I assume so, though from other headlines regarding the Maze at the time, I doubt it.

I can solve the "dripping" question...
I know a few others but will give you all an opportunity first.

I have gotten a lot more pleasure in my life from food than sex, but that was not by choice. 
Posted 2012-01-29 08:27:45
Does whipped cream and chocolate sauce count as 'food'?

As costs spiral in Thailand, food still remains cheap and good. So food must be high up on list as one of the reasons to live here. I mean a kilo of cook mussels for 20 baht?
The perfect life for any Thai must be to be rich, do as you want, have lots of sex with lots of people and enjoying eating? Guess thats why you see the fat rich boys with the beautiful girls?
Posted 2012-01-30 04:09:38
Having sex with lots of people sounds great, right up to the point when you suffer your 5th case of Gonorrhea.
Suffice to say i'm gettin fatter

Perhaps the answer might depend on what you did with the food apart from eating it .......?
