Sharing a bed with someone

Situations arise like a group of men or women go travelling and keep the price of hotels down by sharing a room and even a bed. Not everyone can bring themselves to do it though - I don't think I could share with another woman, even a good friend.

My husband brought up the subject. About how in his younger days he and two friends used to travel on holidays. They often ended up with one double bed in a room. In their case they just wouldn't share. One would take the bed, the others on the floor. I can understand that, it IS too intimate for many people.

Often it can be big family gatherings for Christmas or such, it's tricky deciding where everyone sleeps.

So would you happily sleep in a bed with someone of the same sex? Though of course all completely just through necessity.

This came up a few years ago with my daughter and a gal who had been her best friend since grade school. They were both in their 40s. I couldn’t handle sleeping with either of them so they insisted I get the big bed (in a motel) and they slept on chairs or the floor. I can’t recall for sure. I felt bad about it and would have gladly slept on the floor but they wouldn’t let me.
 

First of all, many hotels now offer two double beds instead of a queen or king. Perhaps if not booked ahead that wouldn't be an option. It wouldn't be a problem for me because I can't sleep in beds. I'd have to find a chair and perhaps prop my feet up on my suitcase. I can't lay on flat, hard surfaces. Even when I'm having testing done, I ask to have my head raised a little rather than lay flat. Having to lay flat in the hospital bed for several hours after I had my cardiac ablation done was the worst part of having the procedure done.

I wouldn't "happily" share a bed with anyone other than mon bien aimé. If it was a very good friend and there was absolutely nowhere else to sleep, I probably would, but I wouldn't like it. People do all sorts of things in their sleep that I'd rather not be subjected to.

When I was young, my girlfriend and I used to go out clubbing, and sometimes I'd stay overnight at her house, where we'd sleep in her double bed. Or, I should say, I tried to sleep while she slept like a rock—a snoring rock. I woke up repeatedly because she snorted like a freight train, and there was no stopping it. I tried everything to shut her up—shaking the bed, rolling her over, pinching her nose—but nothing worked, it was hopeless. wassat I couldn't sleep, so I'd just give up, get up, and drive home.
 
At my age now, no way man or woman! When I was younger I had no problem sharing a bed with my friends who might be staying overnight with me. Now though, I don't even use my bed. I sleep in my recliner.
 
Zero problem here. I’ve slept with my daughter, with the grandkids, with friends over the years. I would much rather a bed than a chair, couch or floor but I also didn’t want my preference to banish someone else to an uncomfortable sleeping surface.

I’ve been in situations too where I’ve slept, platonically, with men, for a variety of reasons, usually involving an exigent circumstance like an unexpected snowstorm or lost room reservation or some such. I slept with Ron for months before we began a romantic relationship because at the beginning we were just good friends enjoying a variety of adventures together.

I march to the beat of a different drum than many of you, that’s long been established! 😂 Considering some of the strong opinions expressed on this thread already, I imagine there are at least some raised eyebrows at my response! 😂 But hey, at least I’m honest!
 
At this point in my life no way would I share a bed, heck I don't even like sharing a room when traveling.

When I was young and playing Rugby we would travel for a match and at times end up sharing a bed because we were too poor to get our own rooms. We would end up with ten guys in a room sleeping where you could, sometimes even three in a bed.

I have a funny story about one of those trips envolving a girl I picked up and her surprise when someone else crawled into bed with us. It's funny but a bit risqué so not sure I should share it here.

A ‘bit’ risqué sharing it here?
You think? 😂

You are just very confident, it's an admirable quality. We are all different.
