Everyone can agree that sex is one of the finer things in life. However, there are plenty of nonsexual things that can be just as satisfying. Let's take a look at some of these sensations that are hard to beat.

1. Cleaning your ears

*shudder* Is there any greater feeling than shoving that Q-tip in your ear post shower? Doubtful. We all know we're not supposed to do it but it's one of the best feelings ever so we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes being bad just feels oh-so-good.

2. Scalp massage

It's the few minutes of the hair appointment that we all look forward to. Who knew that a gentle scalp massage could make all the problems in the world disappear? Even cats love it, which is proof that this is one of the most relaxing things in life.

3. Getting a piece of food unstuck from your teeth

Aka the feeling of sweet, sweet relief. We all understand that rush of relief when that piece of food finally becomes dislodged from the crevices of our exposed skeleton. Too much? Well, you get the point anyway.

8. When you pull into the driveway right as the song ends

Getting a new piece of technology is exciting, but have you ever peeled those little plastic protectors off?! I'm convinced that these things weren't really created for protecting, but for the sole purpose of peeling them off. It is an unrivaled sensation that shan't be wasted.

13. Ridding yourself of that pesky ingrown hair
