Uh, my gut response to this was pretty lowbrow, but I stand by it, so: cunnilingus.

Does it count if someone else pays for it?
I think the most luxurious thing I can do without anyone having to pay any money is sleep.

ANY money...don't know.I don't feel creative.

When I think decadent I think something very perverted and refined...so it's hard without money...if the question is: what's the most satisfying thing you can do without money? then sleep and masturbation are pretty good.But that's not my idea of decadent.

No monet period? Impossible. Everything costs money somehow.

a bubble bath or a back rub

Sleeping in really late, and then going the entire day undressed.

You need money for the bathroom and the bubbles

I'm not that much into decadence, but I do find a long soak in a bathtub enjoyable.

That's fun too!

hymm, sleeping.

ooh then I guess a back rub. I can't think of anything that doesn't cost any money. I suppose going to a store and sampling all the free samples. The delightful little wicked feeling that comes from making harmless prank mischief and mean jokes would have to rank high on the list.

be free.

Think. Imagine. Invent.

I was trying to think in terms of "no money at all", so that even someone living in the most abject poverty could enjoy it.

walk barefoot through a field of wildflowers all covered w/ dew at dawn
hear a child laugh
watch a sunset
stare up at the sky searching for shooting stars
visit an old folks home
not stepping on cracks as you walk down the street
hug a tree
dance in the rain

Sleep naked.

Take a bath,,,or a nap.

Yay! Good answers!

I think you succeeded!

orgasm

But are any of us really free? ever?

Why not always and no matter what? I believe that's possible, but not always a case of just wanting it........unfortunately!

Oh, just in case you wonder, that was a reply to your *second* comment, not the first

Actually, it works really well as a reply to the first comment to!

Swim in the ocean & sleep NOT at the same time tho.

I wish food were free. That would've been my first choice.

How about visiting your grandchild? That's free. (And a few years away, huh?)

Cuddle with my daughter, Walk in the woods, get a massage from my SO, take a shower...

That's luxury to me.

that's why it's decadent...

Window shopping in beverly hills? I don't know, i'm not much of a decadent.

A sensual massage after a long, hot bubble bath.

singing along to the radio
finding a penny on the street
helping a stranger w/ directions
foraging for wild mushrooms
hearing autumn leaves crumble under foot
seeing the northern lights
catching a rainbow
to pet a puppy
letting a child paint your fingernails
discovering a great book from the library
daydreams
moonbeams

Decadence to me does not equate to luxury, it equates to self-indulgent decline and absence of responsibility.
The most decadent thing I can think of doing right now is to use my desk phone at work to make prank calls to government ministries.

"Hello, Ministry of Defence?"
"YOU SMELL, SMELLY!!!"
*click*

Do! Do it, come on! They hate to be called that!

seeing a rainbow, petting my cats, sleeping in, getting a sincere compliment...

Lucid dreaming and other dreaming that gives you great pleasure. (Unless you pay money for substances that might help the dreams along...)

masturbate til my fingers are numb

sleeping in???? what's that?

I can't think of anything.

Masturbation is the most free, self indulgent and pleasurable thing. Sex with another person is never free.

I would much rather think. It takes no physical effort and may lead to the invention of something.
Masturbation is quite the opposite: It is to think, involves physical effort, and only for the definite destruction of a million things! (In the male's case, anyway. Haha!)

That's what I was thinking... Even when my SO is awake and I have the opportunity to sleep in, I wake up to the kid climbing on my head.

Whereas not masturbating also leads to the destruction of those million things. I don't know if I would call thinking being decadent.

hehehe...same here! sigh...but i'm sure that when our kids are teenagers, we'll wish that they're still climbing on our heads.

REMINDER: every time you masturbate, "god" kills a kitten...please remember the kittens!

No! Visiting my grandchildren isn't free. I wish!

I would have to fly to Hawaii if I wanted to visit them. BUT,she'll come here during XMAS vacation if I can swing it.

Flying from Hawaii or vice versa is VERY high during that time of year.

I hope my daughter decides to moves here permanently, after her visit this Labor Day.Did I tell you? She'll be staying with the family for about a month. Yardley be job hunting & stuff. If she finds something she likes & can live with, she MIGHT move here for good.**crosses her fingers**

make my ass tickle by farting in the tub

God's gonna get ya for masturbating!http://christiananswers.net/q-dml/dml-y011.html

Now, see? You have the damn good-makings of a fine survey right there! (Serious, you could pose the questions from the religious angle!)
I read this article (which seems like a guidance - a Q&A column of some sort - I didn't link anywhere else to find out), and my response is...


Here's some of the advice the counselor gives (italics=excerpt from the article, verbatim [bracketed=my own commentary]). The 'counselor' is advising the writer-inner how to avoid masturbation:

Find someone--someone you can trust--to help you with this problem. [Well, if he did that it wouldn't be masturbation, really - so this is sound advice I guess]
Maybe it's your youth pastor or a very close friend [...or some other guy who could molest you]
Ask him to hold you... [Now, I'm cutting this sentence short, but - come on - isn't this just a tad homo-erotic? To continue...] ...to hold you accountable and to pray with you. Also work hard [more homo-erotic stuff] ...at making some new friends. That way you can socialize instead of fantasize. [Unless those 'friends' you make are in the same little pickle you're in...no pun.]

Michael located a humorous article that addresses this horrendous ordeal. You have to read it! It's hilarious! It's above my response to him (above).
Meow! Haha!

I'm sure of it... My daughter's two and a half, I figure I only have about 10 years left before she starts hating me if it's anything like when I was a kid..

You crack me up! (and stop killing innocent kittens gosh darnmit!)

You kiddin'? I've gone through six litters just this week. I don't know what the hell to do about it.

Pray!

Oh, that was great fun. I especially liked the part about what's wrong with you? "(Are you not spending time getting to know the students in a good youth group?)" (in a biblical way, I must imagine).
Fantasy and imagination are problems. I think I'm finally starting to understand them.
In all fairness, I've experienced various states including a heaven on earth, and indeed, fantasy is not part of the consciousness involved there. Mystic vision is closely allied with such though.
Ancient scriptures are loaded with things that are quite valuable, but involve a deeply evolved context, and could be useless or counter-productive taken out of context. There's a lot of stuff out there that bugs me, like those jehovahs witnesses that won't celebrate parties because of the last supper.I recall feeling sorry as a kid for my neighbor kids (like 10 years old)(much like the Flanders's kids) gravely explaining to me the seriousness of the party thing.

i know it...my little boy just turned 1...i figure that i got about the same amount of time, although i know it's different for boys than for girls, at least it was when i was a kid, but we shall see...i always think to myself,"you can grow up to be 5, but you must stay there!" horrible though, but sometimes i want to be selfish like that...i guess this is the reason why some women keep having babies well into their 40's

bahahahahahaha!!!! that's awesome!

Sleep.

Yes, going around the house undressed is the best things ever! I don't know how this sounds coming from me because I'm a female, but I don't care. It's just too fun roaming around in your underwear.

That's just standard behavior for me. I guess you could call me a closet nudist. I never bother dressing unless I'm leaving the house or expecting company. If it is cold, I'm in my jammies, otherwise little or nothing.

Ugh.
THE - MEANING - OF - LIFE.....BE - A - PART - OF - IT!

That's all I can come up with if ever asked what the meaning of life is. So why is it religions insist that God created the wonderful miracle of life so that we would simply sit with our hands folded nicely in our laps, smile at one another and simply await our holy deaths?
Sorry, but my God had just a little more intent than that when He afforded me the miracle to live!

go to a luxury resort wearing your bathing outfit, park your car, go to the pool area and join in as if you're a registered guest. Always works. Even cooler if you can overhear someone talking and charge drinks to their name and room #.

Have sex with Mandy I hope.

You mean, you hope I don't charge for it?

exactly! But then how much is Chocolate body paint nowadays!

Hahahaha... In the morning, I won't put my clothes on unless I'm going somewhere or my parents make me. Otherwise, I will be walking around in my pyjama, too.

I'm sitting here in my jammies right now!

Suck dick.

Making love, feeling the sun on my skin, being cozy with my Husky dogs, or with my cat, looking at the ocean, smiling at everyone,digging in the dirt, peeking beneath stones, climbing trees, simply experiencing what it is to "BE"....yips, yippee, weeeeeee

Sleep and dream.
