I've never jumped up and down, hugged complete strangers, and partied in the streets over sex I've had...

The only way these two concepts could be combined is to increase the element of danger- I guess sport f#cking HIV positive Hatians without condoms could be considered a dangerous sport. . .

If we are talking about watching sports, either live or on television this isnt worth considering.

 If we are talking the kind of sports my aging and increasingly sedentary body can handle, it is equally ludicrous.

But if I can be forgiven a little poetic license, and go back to my youth, there were the magic moments, the sweet spots in time.

A fastball low in my wheelhouse and the bat as quick as a rising trout and the solid, effortless chunk that said I'd caught every atom of it....blocking the plate on a runner trying to score from second and fielding a clothesline one-hopper from right to end an inning....steaming up on a receiver, arriving in a bad mood with the full visceral contact that we could both feel in our teeth.....two steps up on the corner, the ball descending dead on target, and nothing but end-zone in front of me.

It may not have been better than sex, but damn, some days it was close. 

Only if you really hate sex.

I have to wonder what repressed homo would rather play sports than have sex.

As there are a variety of them, and you are venturing to find your favorite team, this can be better, but not always. Now by sport, I give these ratings on the likelyhood I would give it up to have intercourse (1-most likely. This includes playing and watching them)- baseball-3, basketball-1 football-3 hockey-5 soccer-4 collegiate sports(all types)-5 Olympics-3 golf-1. Yes, I really DO have no interest in pro basketball and pro golf- they suck! (Sorry J-JB.)

No, not really. Unless you're talking about GOLF! Good reasons why golf is better than sex: It's easier to score in golf. ... Golf-transmitted diseases are rare. ... Everyone swings in golf. ... When you play golf, you don't have to lubricate the hole. ... Being called a pro is a compliment in golf. ... Golf isn't over in a few minutes. ... It's OK to pay for golf. ... You can play golf for hours without getting exhausted. ... Foursomes are more common in golf. ... If you have trouble with one hole, you can go to another hole. ... You get more rest between strokes in golf. ... If you're not ready for golf in the first date, you can suggest miniature golf. ... In golf, women have balls and men don't mind. ... Premarital golf is encouraged. ... The size of your shaft isn't important to other golfers.

I'd have to say going for a nice 10 mile run through the forests of Lake Tahoe, CA beats sex any day.

I can't think of much that is not better than sex. Even though I only watch the NFL and NASCAR I still believe that ANY sport is better than sex. Even the ones I can't stand.

The Olympics come very, very close--and actually participating in sports events are invigorating and satisfying, but I don't any sport would rival making love.

For me, if it's surfing, bodyboarding, horseback riding (stop laughing!), or sky diving, it could rival sex. Team sports bore me. Any sport on TV bores me, except surfing.

I've observed my ability at football, cricket and badminton and my conclusion is that I posses roughly the same speed, stamina and athletic finesse of an obese hedgehog. I do find it an enjoyable experience when the ball accidentally bounces off me into the goal though.
