Does it bother anyone else that "sleeping with someone" carries the connotation of sexual stuff?

I find myself wishing I could curl up with some people and sleep together. Sadly, "do you want to sleep with me" seems to be tied heavily to "we gon do it in the bootyhole."

You're not alone 😔
Not really. If I want to sleep with someone, I'll ask them to sleep. If I want to "sleep" with someone, I'm already reaching for other things and it ain't my Jammies.

I have slept platonically with friends even on vacation together.

I definitely support the normalization of platonically, non-sexually sleeping together

Glad a lot of things are starting to tear down some of these macho image walls - after all, even Jesus cried.

@deadpoolshady: Until fairly recently in the UK, it was a criminal offence for men to engage in public displays of affection for each other. Even a simple hug could, in theory, result in prosecution.

That is insane. I always thought of the UK as more physically friendly - though now that I think about it... Guess not

I'm open to your opinion but currently I don't see any reason to sleep with someone other than sex.

@NinaSilver: But... next to someone you love, right?

@InvaderNice: Or next to a friend.

@NinaSilver: Okay makes a little sense.

So if you were alive at the time and Liberace said.. would you sleep with me...would you?

I mean yeah, I just might.
AIDS only transfers if you bang, not if you cuddle a little.
Yeah. It would be nice if it could be seen as a platonic show of affection. :p
