Sexuality / Being uptight

[Fozza]

1. No I don't and I have (more than once) slept in the same bed as another man. My statement changes if it's a homosexual man, it might get a bit to creepy for me then.
2. -
3. I have no problems discusing such things. It's like Bloodstain said, it's fun and natural.
4. Can't say I act strange or weird. Normal I guess.

 

[quiet_samurai]

1. Only if we sleep head to toe, it's the universal way for straight men to sleep next to one another unless reasons of survival are pending.

2. Eh

3. Yes, actually I like doing so. The only people I won'd speak of such things around are certain female family members...mother, grandma, etc.

4. I don't really care. I might talk to them about their up tightness and attempt to understand it, but it's their choice and none of my business, and if they don't like the way I do things then they can bugger off.

 

[thahat]

1.if its a mate of mine, no problemo as long as we keep clothes on, otherwise, no
2. i dont trust random people/classmates/whatever enough to have em sleep in the same bed as me
3. no problemo
4. my girlfriend used to be uptight-ish around the subject. my sollution was to care, but care juuuust too little, so as to let them get more accustommed to it after a while. XD
kind of like batherwatter. if you start out in warm water, you can put the hot tap open and carea bit less then if you would jump in in one go XD

 

[feeback06]

1. Nah, not really.
1.2. N/A
2. No, not at all. Sex is a natural thing.
3. Usually, I'd tell them to loosen up.

 

[Cazza]

1. Yeah but not lightly
2. -
3. When it about personal stuff I don't really talk about it. In general it's fine.
4. Don't bring it up

 

[Jodah]

1. Probably. As long as I knew them for awhile and nothing creepy happens.
2. See one.
3. Yea, I don't really have a problem with it until it gets really dirty (like Cleveland Steamer dirty).
4. I don't know many people like that and it doesn't come up in conversation with the ones I do.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

1. Sure, if there isn't anywhere else to sleep.
2. n/a
3. On occaision. I can't bring up the topic, but if it comes up I will speak my piece.
4. I embarass them.

 

[The Night Shade]

1)I don't mind
2)-
3)yes with no problems
4)Don't care for them,let them be how they are

 

[dorkette1990]

1.1) At nearly every camp I've gone to, a girl has crawled into bed with me and cuddled. I'm straight, so I just accept the body heat for what it is.
1.2) boooody heat is wonderful.
2) I talk about sex and everything I like regarding sex and all my silly anecdotes about sex all the time.
3) I tell them awkward sex anecdotes which are so embarrassing, they're funny!

 

[JokerCrowe]

1) already did. so yes.

2) I don't feel comfortable talking about sex with my parents. But I do it easily with every one else. Talk that is. not sex... y'know... you might think that I meant sex... but I meant... talk.

3) I adjust to their level and try to keep the "sex-talk" there. But seriously people like that need to get laid.

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

1. I have.
2.-
3. Yes, I see no problem with sex or sexuality. I draw the line at tasteless sex jokes though.
4. Roll my eyes and ask them why they are uptight.

 

[Hashime]

A little backstory first. My class took a week long trip to Lake Constance. Our beds were barely big enough for 1 person, but a bunch of girls would sleep in our room (No sex) so most of us had to share their bed. No problem.

That commment made me think of a bunch of questions I would like to ask the Escapist:
1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?
1.2) If no, what bothers you about it?
2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?
3) How do you act aroundd up-tight people?

1)I have had to before, as long as the bed is large enough why would it matter?
2) No, never
3) I am uptight, so yeah...

 

[Android2137]

1.1) Same sex, sure (unless the person in question is lesbian. Then, I'd feel as uncomfortable as I would sharing a bed with a boy.)
1.2) Even if nothing happens, the fact that the person was inclined to is enough. It's just wrong if you have to make the person promise not to do anything, you know?
2) No. Only online or with family.
3) I consider myself an uptight person, but I won't tell people how to live just because I personally don't agree. Still, I am free to feel uncomfortable talking about such issues face to face in public.

 

[Lynx]

1.1. Of course.
2. Yes, I can be very open about it.
3. I respect their ways completely, but make it very clear that my way of living is to be just as respected by them if we're going to engage in conversation.

 

[Imat]

1.1) I would not
1.2) I typically sleep in nothing but underwear, and frankly I think it'd be kinda awkward for the other guy...
2) I can, but I typically don't.
3) Same way I act around the opposite variety of people. They're just people, after all.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

1) I've done it before, and I'd do it again if necessary.
1.2) N/A
2) Depends on region and gender (i.e., American females seemingly talk about it endlessly and outwardly, but god forbid a certain type of American male even say the word "sex" around a lady).
3) It's an unspoken rule in society that forbids guys like me from talking about it, so I'm forced to be semi-uptight.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

1. If I'm tired enough I could (and did) sleep anywhere, outside, a bathtub, the floor, upside down. Having another body in the bed is mild in comparison.
2.....
3. I'll openly talk about it, but most people I've met just don't seem to care about sexuality, the length of those conversations is pretty much "Oh, he/she's gay/straight. Cool. So anyway, how 'bout them Bears..." Sexuality doesn't bother me or the people I generally associate with, I've known too many different -sexuals to care.
4. Around up-tight people I'll smile with them on the outside (if I'm feeling nice, otherwise I'll have a lot of fun at their expense) and smile/laugh at them on the inside (regardless).

 

[Dags90]

1.2) Even if nothing happens, the fact that the person was inclined to is enough. It's just wrong if you have to make the person promise not to do anything, you know?

Isn't it a bit presumptuous (and a tad arrogant) to assume the person would be so "inclined" based solely on their gender preference, or that the person wouldn't have self control?

 

[Disaster Button]

1. Yeah, I've done it before actually.
2. This is a blank space.
3. Sexuality yes, if its someone I'm close to. Sex? Probably only with somebody I was very close too. I often find people to be too graphic (or boastful) in that area and it usually sends my imagination spinning into places I don't want it to go, plus its a subject to which I have nothing to contribute. Plus I believe things like that (regarding my own anyway) to be too private to just talk about freely.
4. Depends how up-tight they are or regarding what subjects, but in most I'd just adjust to their level.

 

[David_G]

1. Yes, I already have. Every 1st of May me and my friends go to the village and just mess around. However, there aren't enough beds so everyone has to sleep with someone, and no one has a problem with it.
2. Yeah, I have no problem talking about it.
3. Haven't met any.
