Sleeping next to a friend of opposite sex?

I don’t currently do it because I believe that’s disrespectful to my SO unless it was absolutely necessary. He and I have mutual friends and this one guy we both know has slept over with us but in a separate room.

I would not sleep next to an opposite sex friend unless it was absolutely necessary. I don’t want him to get any ideas.

Cuddling is out of the question because I don’t cuddle with people unless I want to have sex with them.

The only exception would be if we were stuck outside and in mortal danger of hypothermia.

I assume you mean a friend that isn’t one of your sexual relationships?

Well.. I have, in my past… only once. It felt uncomfortable. I remained dressed. It was an emergency that evolved out of my losing my house unexpectedly.

In general, I think it should not be an issue, but from experience, I fear it “just isn’t me”.

Though I have not, I don’t mind sharing the bed with my platonic friend, with whom I’m comfortable enough to communicate clearly, set boundaries and whom I trust. But strictly only my best friend. I agree with @seekingwolf, sleeping with your friend after marriage would be disrespectful.

I used to sleep in bed with my gay friends. They didn’t have a spare bed so it would be 3 of us in one. I was naked apart from wearing knickers. If one of them was working late, and it was just the two of us, we would go to bed and just talk all night, it was nice. They were my best and only friends.

i have never do it.. sounds badly

I’ve done it before. I’d be fine doing it again. I would of course check with my husband first. If he had objections we would talk it out. If after that there was a problem, I would not do it.

No. Sounds awkward.

I’ve never done it. And in general, don’t touch me when I’m sleeping. I don’t cuddle.

It depends a lot on time and place and circumstance. In college I have done it, crashing with friends was no big deal. It usually happened if lots of friends were visting and there weren’t enough beds for everyone to have their own. It didn’t happen often, usually a couple of us girls would sleep together if that was a possibility, no cuddling though.

Would I sleep with another man ? You have got to be kidding. My s/o would do something drastic if I even asked him which I never would.

I’ve done it in the past, when I was single. And yes, it occasionally led to sex.

I was reminded recently how far away from myself I had actually become. Years and years ago, I have slept in the same bed with a platonic friend of the opposite sex. He was/is like a brother to me, so being close to him in the same bed was not an issue, and there was even spooning. We were both single at the time and didn’t require any permission for what was innocent enough. I have also been up so late with friends that we fell asleep in close proximity to each other and there was no sex. No biggie.
However, I have been very very used to sleeping alone (even though I was married) for the past 8 years. I had a friend over that I really did feel like cuddling with, but I simply couldn’t/didn’t. He asked me weeks later, after his visit, why I was like that, and if I could see myself, at another time, rolling over and sleeping with arms around, touching etc…. I started to cry because I didn’t realise how cold and isolated I had become. I used to be a very warm, cuddling person. I’ve got some work to do.

I have, in the past when camping. It’s not a big deal. And cuddle? Heh, no. It’s was more of a utilitarian “We only have one tent” than anything else.
