Bed size and intimacy

[RobertU]

Since the start of the sexual revolution, men and women have been moving farther from each other in bed as bed size has gotten larger and larger. Of course, Americans have gotten fatter so that may also explain the larger bed sizes. But still, it suggests that sexual freedom now means “Get out of my personal space.”

Double beds (also known as Full) were the most common for two to sleep in until the 1960's. They're only 15" wider than a Single bed, leaving only 27" of sleep space for each of two adults. At 75" long, a Full size bed may be too short for some taller adults. Overall dimensions: 54" wide x 75" long

For me, sexual freedom is three beds.



No, I'm not a horn dog. I mean one for sex and two for sleeping.

That's not the dumbest post I've ever read about beds but it's damn close.
Our California King isn't actually one mattress because we have separate articulating mattress stuck together in a single California King bedframe.

But the large size isn't because we're seeking our own space, it's so that I don't keep the wife awake with my tossing and turning. We spend plenty of time snuggled together. It's just nice to have the luxury of extra space.

My last girlfriend had a California King. From now on, it's that or the floor.

You have to get out of a 1960s sitcom.

My fiends ask, "what if your next wife wants a baby?" I say, "then it's two houses".

I’m pretty sure my wife an I are happier with a big bed than a small bed. We sleep better, which puts us in a better mood, which increases the odds we will be in the mood to knock boots.

I don’t enjoy cuddling ALL night. We like to drift off to sleep with my arms around my wife, but at some point I roll away and we sleep within our own space. We sleep fairly stripped down so when we cuddle our skin is in contact with each other. You do that too long and your skin starts sticking to each other through sweat. My wife also doesn’t like me snoring right into her ear for some reason.

2010s sitcom. That was a plot point from an episode of How I met Your Mother.

You have ‘fiends?’

When I was younger, I slept either commando or with briefs. When you age, your thighs begin to stick together at night. Same with another 98.6 body nearby.....long legged bottoms are the norm now.

Those 2 beds, would they be high end med style beds, twists, bends, heats and cools?

 

[tecoyah]

Over thinking sex seems to be counter productive.....what's wrong with the ottoman?

How old do you think I am?

My missus still manages to kick off all the sheets and push me into a tiny corner by morning. I might as well sleep on the floor.

You need to get liberated. No more getting bossed around. Time to spread your wings and fly.

.......someone is bent over the ottoman?

Wild guess- mid 40s
Note I was making a joke.
Though when one says that, well the joke did not travel well

Now that you two are together, you need to rethink the avatars...........

I'm 'bout 50 and it's getting about time to spend a little on a bed.

It was a good joke, I just prefer to be on the giving end of old-jokes.

You get by 'fly' I mean dream healthy and lucid, right?

I like old jokes, old movies, and for a comedy routine, well one of the best
