Top Ten Things Which are Purer and Feel More Special Than Sex

Over the years making love (as I still prefer to call it) has gone from "making love" to just plain "sex". It's become all too common. It seems to be everywhere and has somehow become tainted and has lost its true feeling and meaning. The items I've listed, hopefully bring back the true meaning of closeness that making love / having sex once had.
The Top Ten
1 Love
2 Talking

I don't just mean idle chit-chat, I'm talking about REAL talking; engaging with each other, telling each other your hopes, dreams, feelings and plans.

3 Listening

Just sitting and listening to the person you love talk for hours about their life, their hopes, fears, happy times. I mean really listening to them and hearing them.

4 Laughing

Laughing, sharing happiness is a special feeling.

5 Kissing
6 Hugging
7 Holding hands
8 Being genuine friends
9 The comfortable silences between you

Knowing that you don't need to speak to know how the other person feels is magical.

10 Being able to be who you are around a loved one

They know all your quirks, faults and idiosyncrasies and you know theirs but you accept each other unconditionally.
