This question was raised on one of the forums I frequent:
“Here is the scenario:
4 guys go on a golfing trip, but they can only get 1 hotel room. The hotel room has 2 queen sized beds. Do the guys suck it up and sleep in beds together, or are 2 of them sleeping on the floor?”
I asked Devon the question and he had a very definite answer that he seemed to feel very strongly about, which I’ll let him explain…
As for myself I have no problem sharing a bed with a girl or a guy on an overnight trip… Who cares if I end up drooling in my sleep or whatever? When my girls and i have overnight get-togethers in cramped quarters, one of us always ends up getting spooned by accident. It’s no biggie. It’s cost effective and I gain body heat that I’m totally lacking in….
But yeah, I’m just wondering about everyone else.
I, and my friends, are about as far from being homophobic as you can be without being actively bisexual. We share soda bottles and food and give each other hugs when needed. That said, and I’ll have to check with them to make sure I’m not just projecting here, but in the type of situation outlined above (we don’t golf, but something similar) I can’t imagine any discussion of options beyond “Who sleeps on the floor” based on coins or short straws or something. I don’t think the possibility of sharing the beds would even come up.
Girls can spoon in their sleep and that’s all well and good, but for guys I think it’s an awkward situation that being able to avoid is worth sleeping on the floor.
The only reason I go on cramped-quarters girls weekend is to snuggle with Emma!
On a serious note….I have never really been in the situation with a guy…which I think you are kind of asking as well. I think it’s kind of established that most girls have no problem sleeping with another girl but most guys would rather sleep on the floor than share a bed with another guy. As for other possible match-ups…I think that a guy would be more than happy to share a bed on a golfing trip with a girl while the girl would expect the guy to sleep on the floor. In my opinion, same-sex match-ups are much less threatening and carry a lot less possibility of “hanky-panky” that mixed match-ups.
