Sexuality / Being uptight

[SovietSecrets]

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. Yes. Not a problem for me
2. I have no problem openly speaking about sex. I usually get into awkward conversations because of it.
3. I try to loosen them up a bit. Just making jokes or hitting on them.

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.

But one night, after hanging out with some other girls, I went back to my room at around 4 am. I went straight to bed, dressed and everything. I woke up around 2 hours later to get up, and noticed that I had spent the night with another guy sleeping in my bed, since 2 girls were sleeping in his bed. None of us really cared. A week later I told a friend from America the story and all she said was: "That's kind of creepy".

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 and .2 I don't like sharing a bed with anyone unless I'm really close to them. Gender aside, I'm uncomfortable being in close quarters with people like that. But not based on what's "creepy." And I would, I'd just prefer not to.
2: Depends on why I'm talking to, but yes.
3: I try and be respectful of other people, even uptight ones. IF they're going to be judgmental and nosy it's one thing, but until then I won't bother them. I swear a lot, too, but not in the company of people who don't like profanity. Same idea.

 

[Free Thinker]

1. No. I'm sorry, but dude, this is MY bed!
2. It just feels awkward.
3. Yes. I don't really think it should be so taboo to be talked about.
4. I tone it down or never even bring it up. No need to piss people off.

 

[Sara Fontaine]

1) I can sleep in the same bed as another girl quite easily. It'd be more down to the fact of whether they were a good friend or not.
2) N/A
3) Sex is a naturally occuring thing, nothing wrong with talking about it.
4) Until they start telling me that I'm immoral or try and force their views on me I just keep my mouth shut and ignore them as best I can.

 

[Alon Shechter]

1.1) Already did a couple of times.

2) Yes, completely. I wish other people could.
3) I avoid them.

There are way too many males out there who will claim to be ok with their openly gay friends/relatives, but if you were to even slightly insinuate that any sort of homosexual activities happened within a square mile of their person, they start jumping up and down scrubbing their skin like you just informed them they had scabies.


"Oh no man, not me, eww man. No way. No way."


Im AC only. Im hetero. But this doesnt mean I have to go out of my way to make that fact crystal clear to every single other college-age male I meet. I can say it once, and be done with it. And if a gay guy has a crush on me, Im flattered. And sad, cause gay people are supposed to have better taste.

[the rye]

1)yes i would and have shared a bed with someone of the same sex (not in a sexual way)
2)N/A
3)not always sometimes the subject is difficult for me to talk about
4)i wouldn't really know

 

[Tdc2182]

1.) I'd prefer not to.
2.) Its nothing to do with me being homophobic, it is just the fact that I am never comfortable in a situations that have to do with me being defenseless involving masculinity. It just makes me feel vulnerable.
3.) I'm not to sure what this means, but to some people I will talk openly about sex, to some I keep my mouth shut. I'm quite positive about my sexuality, if thats what you mean.
4.) If I like/respect them, I'll remain quiet. If I don't like/care about them, I will joke and berate them.

 

[Umwerfer]

1/2)I would've slept on the floor. That's just how I roll, I guess.
3)no
4)As usual; as reserved as I think it proper to possibly be.

 

[N1ceDreamz]

1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex? I wouldn't mind.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality? Yep, but I am sort of a homophobe... the thought of it just makes me go eww... can't really help it.

3) How do you act aroundd up-tight people? The way I act around other people, I don't talk about sex all the time ya'know.

 

[Xero Scythe]

1: No, I'm probably gonna be sleepin' on the floor.(Apparently I thrash around in my sleep.)
2: N/A
3: Meh. Depends on the company. I ain't gonna be sayin' it to my interviewer, but I'll speak openly with my friends.
4: Again, meh. I live my life, they live theirs.

 

[Mcface]

Seems like a bunch of dumb teenagers pretending they need to share beds when they dont.

I don't want a guy sleeping in my bed, or a girl i'm not getting any from. Unless it's a huge bed, which in your case it wasn't?

 

[Durgiun]

1. Hell yes. It allows for free gropy time when they are asleep. But seriously, I wouldn't mind.
1.2.. ...
2. Depends. If it's with my parents, no. If it's with my friends, oh hell yes. I can talk to them about almost anything.
3. I treat them like any person who has a broom up their ass.

 

[UnwishedGunz]

1) depends on who it is, if its a friend that needs a place to crash then sure, if its some random homeless guy who crawled into my window then no

2) N/A

3) i have lots of friends who are girls, so yes i talk about sex...A LOT!!!

4) i call em a ***** and walk away, up-tight people are so annoying they think their so better then everyone else

 

[internetzealot1]

I would only ever share a bed with a man if one of my brothers, and even then, I'd have to sleep above the covers.

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

1) I would rather not, but that's more because I like my space. I have shared a bed with other men. Didn't care either way.
2) Depends who I'm around. I personally have no problem with it, but some people I know do.
3) If they're smart, I'll try to discuss WHY they believe what they believe and why it bothers them. I find it interesting to see why other people believe what they believe. If they aren't up to discussing, I'll ignore them. But if they're in my face and obnoxious, I'll ridicule the hell out of them.

 

[DrScoobs]

1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?
yes
1.2) If no, what bothers you about it?
N/A
2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?
yes
3) How do you act aroundd up-tight people?
i have secks with them.

 

[Abengoshis]

1) Yes and have on quite a few occasions. Its hard to find a comfortable position though so I tried not to stay too close to him, also we didn't sleep facing eachother, that would just be strange, not to mention I'd get a full frontal assault of his REALLY weird snoring which sounds more like a squirrel.
2) -
3) Yep.
3) I usually try to make them more uptight if they have no reason to be uptight. I bring up a point they are against, wait for them to go on a huge monologue and at the end say "Cool story bro" or "yeah, BUT (insert nonsensical point here but make it seem serious)".
If I'm not in IRL-Troll mode I'll either ignore them or try to see their point. Usually the former since on subjects such as sexuality their "point" is probably derived from ignorance and I'd have no benefit in hearing their opinion.

 

[Thundero13]

1.1)Well I'm gay so yeah, I wouldn't mind sharing a bed with a female either
1.2)N/A
2)Of course
3)They confuse me

 

[Lyx]

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?

Yes. Well, if both were completely naked probably not with much comfort, but else, yes.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?

To some degree. Sex and sexuality in general i have no issue with. Deeply emotional things - no matter if sexual or not - i'd only want to talk about with people whom i trust a lot (so, it's more about privacy in general).

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

Uptight people would on many other topics too have a mindset that doesn't interest me that much. So, talks would stay shallow anyways.
