When does sharing a bed with a sibling become inappropriate?

Not acceptable here. The temptations are too great for both to cross the line.

I asked a similar question about two months ago with a teenage brother and sister sleeping in the same bed and the possibility of sexual activity.

Most of the answers agreed with me that it was very inappropriate.

Yes, I agree. I feel uncomfortable with it and find it very strange. These people are in their late twenties and early thirties.

When either of the parties obtains a restraining order.

On a regular basis? Yeah, I think it’s inappropriate unless the siblings are pre-pubescent children.

For adults, if the occasion calls for it, I don’t think it’s a problem. If they’re staying at someone’s house, say, and there’s no room to give them separate rooms, I don’t think it would be a problem provided the bed was big enough for both.

But, yes, if they share a bed on a regular basis, I don’t think it’s appropriate.

Not acceptable.

I don’t see a problem with it. You grow up with the person your whole life, and have probably shared beds as kids. But I’m an only child so I don’t even know what it’s like to have a sibling.

I would not be comfortable with this. I can see what @Blackberry is saying and that there may be situations where it is perfectly understandable, but generally no.

I agree that it is inappropriate. I must say that sharing a bed with one of my brothers would not present any kind of temptation whatsoever, but regardless I am still not gonna
do it.

I wouldn’t say sharing a bed with my brother would be tempting, in any way. He’s my brother!
Last winter it was 30 bellow, and our heater was broken. We only had one electric heater, so my brother and I slept in the same bed. But we didn’t get really close to each other, and we wore modest pajamas. It was effing cold, so… sue me. :P
I think in some situations it’s okay. Like if it’s negative 30, and your heater’s broken… Hah.

I agree with @KatawaGrey and @AshLeigh

I don’t see anything wrong with the occasional thing at all. There is no “temptation” between normal, healthy siblings. I think it is no different than male/female friends. It IS entirely possible to share a bed with a friend, sibling, without sexuality crossing anyones minds.

I just spent the evening with a male friend and we flopped on my giant beanbag loveseat and had a great time watching a movie, neither of us thought of sex.

I wouldn’t have any problem with it.

My sister and I stopped sharing a bed after she gave birth to our second child because our parents refused to adopt any more of our children.

I agree that it’s kind of odd if one or both siblings are past the age of sexual maturity and they routinely share a bed. As others have pointed out, there might be rare emergency situations where it would be acceptable, but if it’s on a regular basis, then I don’t think it’s appropriate.

I’ve done that before and it’s really not that big of a deal. My siblings are my siblings. I grew up with a large family. It would be a waste of money for us to get x amount of hotel rooms instead of just two with large beds just because we’re too afraid to sleep in the same bed. It is not inappropriate if nothing bad is going on. The problem is in the heads of the people who automatically make sharing a bed mean something inappropriate, not the people who are simply sharing a bed. This temptation thing that was brought up here? Ridiculous. The temptation we felt was over whose turn it was to use the remote.
