Men are simple beings; we have simple needs and desires which are incredibly easy to satisfy. There is a general consensus* over the top 4 activities in which a gentleman of modern society can engage, but the actual order of preference is subject to debate. I shall discuss further:

Sleeping
Never underestimate the enjoyment that a man gets from the ability to disconnect himself from the real world, with its annoying little quips and mind-numbingly stupid inhabitants. When unconscious, a man can be a James Bond-esque character with an arsenal of awesome firearms at his disposal and enough charisma to fill a Citroen C4 twice over.
A man’s mind gives him the ability to do whatever he wishes. It is a place where he can scale the highest peak and dive the deepest ocean, the cars are fast and the women are in abundance and incredibly suggestible.
To women, the act of slumber is merely a practical undertaking to rid them of the fatigues of everyday life, and leave them fresh and ready for the next day. For a man, sleep is a hobby.

Eating
When it comes to gentlemanly enjoyment, little can compare to the elation derived from mastication. You see, a recurring theme in this article is that the things which men enjoy most are the things which women see as purely mundane chores; meaningless tasks which need to be carried out in order to continue existence.
Allow me to elaborate. When a man sits down to a large meal in the company of others (more than just his wife/spouse/significant other), namely in the presence of other men, he does not see a delicious meal which he is about to eat, but a challenge - another way in which he can assert his masculinity in front of others by showing that the quantities of food he can consume far outweigh that of any other person present. The rate of consumption is also a factor; there is no point proving you can eat so much food if it takes you twice as long as everyone else. (Then you just look like a dick and others present have to sit idly by as you sweat out and slobber over the rest of your meal when all they want is dessert.)

Producing Feces
In at number two… (get it?) There are many reasons why taking a dump rates so highly on the male pleasure chart. Firstly, it provides the man a chance to reflect: if your schedule dictates you “drop log” at the start of the day, it provides you with the opportunity to plan ahead on the comfort of one’s throne exactly what you are going to be doing. If nature decides to call in the evening, then you are able to look back over the past day’s shenanigans and reflect on the most enjoyable part, or perhaps plan the day which is yet to come.
You see, “unloading” is one of the most peaceful times of the day. You can do whatever you want and not worry about interference, you can read the newspaper for 10-15 minutes, or do a quick crossword (or write an article for your website… hang on, I gotta wipe…

I’m not saying that being alone is the ONLY benefit of “seeing Mr Brown and his friends off to the coast”. Some just like the feeling of foecal matter pressing on their prostate. (But that’s another matter.)

Recreational Coitus
Woohoo! Number 1. The best activity in which a man can engage. And why not? Why be ashamed about it? Man has evolved over millions of years, having been pruned and perfected along the way, and we are pre-programmed from before birth to seek out “pink tacco”. Now I know what you are thinking, this is a very male-oriented website - in particular, YOUNG males. But I am not here to make it hard or drop a load on you; I just want to give it to you straight, and not make any puns.
I believe that this one requires little explanation. We all know how enthusiastic men get about sex (overenthusiasm can get you into a lot of trouble), but that is for one good reason; for most men it is the driving force behind their very existence. Now to those of you with ovaries, this may seem rather juvanile or primitive, and that’s because it is. But at the same time, we don’t care, because every man is the same, every man is immature and infantile, every man likes to pick their nose and bite their nails, and every man likes to be inappropriate every once in a while. But it is throughout the course of writing this article that I have come to realise… Being a man is awesome!

*The term ‘consensus’ used in this context is perhaps rather vague in its scope. The number of individuals actually surveyed for their opinion on this matter was, in fact, limited to the individual views of me and Jim.
