Sexuality / Being uptight

[killcheese]

1. Yes, i have in the past. Nothing sexual about it really... its just sleeping.
2. why would i? i personally don't see whats so taboo about sex, we all do it as humans, its natural.
3. i dont have many friends like this. i tend to have more open minded friends. If its some random person i don't know then live and let live, they can be uptight if they want.

 

[Yukichin]

1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?

Yeah, but I'm gay, so moot point.

1.2) If no, what bothers you about it?

It'd only bother me if I weren't dating that person; I don't like sharing my bed.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?

It's a little embarrassing, but I can, depending on who it is.

3) How do you act aroundd up-tight people?

Depending on /why/ they're uptight, I try to get them to relax.

 

[darthotaku]

1. no, not a problem.
2.-
3. yeah
4. try as hard as possible to creep them out.

 

[Imp Poster]

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?

1.1) In Europe, Probably, hostels are cramped, I got used to it. In America, no way, they judge you and probably question your sexuality if you did.

1.2) Only in america, it does because how people look at it if they saw it unless the guy I shared a bed with looked similiar like me that we could pass as biological brothers.

2) Sure, easy like the question of male or female.

3) I stay quiet and still maybe they will think I am dead and move on.

 

[Zaverexus]

1.) Yes, as long as nothing sexual goes on. I'm not the biggest fan of sharing my bed with anyone though, except my girlfriend.
2.) N/A
3.) Urm, I guess. Yeah, why not.
4.) I'm terrible around them, but I try to keep my cool. Blow your lid and they win.

I don't really see what's creepy about it. If you were both naked or something maybe...

ditto

 

[cthulhumythos]

1. depends
2. i don't want to sleep next to some smelly fat guy, or some guy i hate
3. if some one starts a conversation it's fine, it depends on who you're talking to.
4. regularly.

 

[Berlioz]

1.1. Depends
1.2. Exact same reasons as the above poster. And I'm ok with it if I know the guy and if he doesn't snore. Gender doesn't matter. Just like I don't see the problem with sleeping with someone of the opposite sex. It doesn't have to be sexual at all.

2. Of course. Why not?

3. If they act like idiots, I like to provoke them on purpose just to annoy them. If they're respectable and just naturally closed in that department, I respect them.

 

[BioHazardMan]

1- I would never sleep in the bed with someone same gender, seems kind of weird for some reason.
2- I can talk about sex and sexuality openly.
3- I don't mind uptight people, I am somewhat myself.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

1.1) Maybe. If we were at opposite ends, and it was necessary.
2) Depends, but probably.
3) Same as around normal people, but I try and respect their sensibilities to a reasonable degree.

Anyway, the reason she said it was creepy was that you went to bed, and when you woke up a dude was in your bed. From my understanding, there was no asking, so that could be kinda creepy. Freak me out a bit, if I wasn't expecting it.

 

[LC Wynter]

1). I'd only really share my bed with someone if there was enough space for both of us, and if they're a heavy sleeper. It doesn't depend on gender.

2). Yes. I find no embarassment in such matters, quite a rarity, I'm told by my friends.

3). No real difference, to be honest. Everyone has their own views; unless they start trying to force their outdated views into my head I shan't mind spending time in their company.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

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/ Why not (as others said, as long as there's nothing sexual intended), in the Medieval ages, Whole families would sleep in a "king sized bed" so to speak. Nowadays this "its creepy" is just a W.A.S.P. tradition way to say it's not according to the invented moral and ethical issues one could imagine about that subject.

2/ Of course! it's a natural thing to do! and a necessity for survival!

3/ around uptight people, if i know they're uptight i respect them by not touching the sensible cord, if i don't know they are uptight i won't change my way with words.

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

1.1) Yes
1.2) N/A
2) Only if I know the individual well enough
3) I give them odd looks. Usually the person walks away uncomfortably whenever I open up to talk about any of this on occasion.

 

[thirdsonsaburo]

I don't really have a defined sexuality, so it's really not a big deal for me. Nowadays, it's fairly easy to talk about, and uptight people can seem rather laughable in their prudishness about such matters. At the same time, it pays to be respectful.

 

[smut]

I'm so fat that just one of my legs needs it own bed so I couldn't realistically sleep with someone in the same bed. I need 2 beds just for both of my legs =(

But seriously.
1. As long as I didn't wake up with the guy spooning me, I'd be okay with it.

 

[Edorf]

1.1) Ofcourse, I dont see a problem with that whatsoever, it's just sleeping? I've shared bed with many of my friends when I've been sleeping over, or been camping etc. (sleeping naked might be a tad different, though)

2) While sex, and sexuality are things me and my friends dont discuss on a basis. I would have no problem talking about it should it become a subject for discussion.

3) I usually keep my coolface on and just do an imagniary facepalm.

 

[Grey_Focks]

1) Depends on the bed size. if it's a bed made for one person, I just think of the scene from "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" where Steve Martin and John Candy wake up spooning each other.

2)...actually, screw it, that scene HAS made it impossible for me to share a bed with another man. Doesn't matter on the bed size. Apparently I move around a lot while I sleep, and I really just don't want to risk anything...yea. Not to mention "morning-wood" would be beyond awkward.

3) I work at a strip club and am dating a stripper. Take a guess.

4)....do I count as being "uptight" because I don't want to share a bed with another man? I should hope not, and to answer the question, I guess I act normally.

 

[Seydaman]

1.1) It'd be weird just because of social norms and the way I was raised, thinking logically it's fine but gut feeling it's weird.
1.2) See above
3) Yea
4) Meh

 

[kikon9]

1. 1) Yup, no problem.
1. 2) -
2) Yes. I don't see the problem with it...it's natural and fun. You can talk about eating, can't you?
3) Although I don't agree with them, I respect their opinion. Unless they give stupid arguments, as most of them do.

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[punkrocker27]

1)Been there done that before on a dingy futon with four people of my own sex, few other times as well, we were all long time friends though so it was cool.
2)Sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable with strangers.
3)Yes, except around my family (discounting my older brother that is.) Some of them do talk about it around other family members but personally I think that's just very awkward.
4)I really don't care as long as they're not bothering me.

 

[Wardnath]

1: Done it many, many, many times before (Don't start).
2: Not applicable.
3: You'd have to take it really fucking seriously for me to join in, otherwise you're wasting my fucking time (also I hate hetero-as-fuck people with a burning passion, true story).
4: I simply stay silent.
