3 Things Women Are Ecstatic About, Apart From Sex

You need to be a woman to experience that

The moment we hear pleasure, our mind rushes to sex. But, trust me, pleasure has so many more sources. And today’s topic has absolutely nothing to do with sex.

Pleasure, by definition, is something that pleases one when done — a feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment. Well, there are so many things that can give pleasure to anyone, but what I am referring to is what women can experience.

There are so many things that we women endure, hence the entitlement to some additional pleasures. Makes sense?

What I have listed down, I am sure, every woman would relate to.

Without further ado, let me dive straight into the topic.

Unhooking the bra after a long day.

It’s like a gasp of fresh air to the drowning. It’s like a breath to the choking. Too much?

Well, it’s like a mini orgasm, if you ask me. The feeling is so wonderful. Once unhooked, it’s like newfound freedom. You are 70% unwound. Your body starts getting into relaxation mode.

I actually envy women who go about without wearing a bra. Unfortunately, I reside in a community that is not completely ready for something like that. But hoping someday I can strike this thing off my pleasure list.

Stripping off the sanitary pad after your period.

Yet another menace (un)favourably gifted to us women. Periods.

Necessary, yes. But a hassle, all the same. Oh, what we women endure in the name of keeping humanity alive.

Well, the dreaded day of the month comes and you put on your accessory — sanitary pads, tampons, menstrual cups, etc. etc. All equipped, you get on with your life, while some part of your brain is always between your legs.

Cramps, stains, and mood swings are like innocent stray dogs that tag along.

After all, this fuss comes ends when you strip off that last pad, pull that last tampon, or take out that cup for the last time.

If unhooking was like a mini-orgasm, this would be like delivering a mini-baby!

When the results say NO.

Saved the last one for the best.

At times, at the heat of the moment, things happen. No problem.

The problem comes when you have crossed the due date of your periods. Now the panic starts. You rush to the nearest pharmacy, while a lot of things play in your mind.

The added responsibility of a child, your career, are you even ready, how things you have charted start falling from the list or getting delayed.

You get to the shop, ask for the kit, the shopkeeper asks for specifications which irritate you; you pick the first one he shows (one of the rare times you don’t delve much into brand, quality, review, and all). Almost forgetting to take the change back from the shopkeeper, you hurry back home.

You do as the kit instructs you to. And then you wait.

Time is relative — this knowledge dawns upon you at this very moment. Two minutes were never so long.

And the final countdown begins. You rehearse things in your mind about how to disclose the news. Your heart start pounding as you see the small kit in your hand that is going to decide the course of your life.

It’s a NO!!!

You check and re-check. Yes, it’s a no. Read instructions again and check. Definite no.

And the relief that washes down you. As if you have woken from a nightmare.

Final call

S, you see, we women are not fixated on sex for that does of ecstacy. We have different sources. Some regular, some occasional.

Tell me if you have something that comes to your mind.
