To Share or Not?

Over at DTB, Matt is considering what to tell his straight friend before he spends the night. One commenter asks why two friends would ever share a bed in 2007.

Answer: It is far more common than one might think, especially in travel situations. When I was traveling around the state for SG, it was common to have either 3 or 4 people to a hotel room. Therefore, you got used to sharing a bed.

Gay, straight or something in between...the question was never asked. It was a non-issue. It was either share the bed or sleep on the motel room floor.

In fact, I slept in the same bed with Apple Guy the night I came out to him. We didn't think twice.

So, in my humble opinion, if it's just about a place to sleep, it shouldn't be an issue.

I couldn't agree more, a bed rather alone or not, is WAY better than the floor.

I've come to the conclusion that I don't wear anything on my shirt sleeve and share information on a need to know, or want to know basis. But, there are a lot of people that think they have to throw everything about their life and history out to everyone they meet and know.

As long as one is happy with their life and capable of living with their decisions and any consequences thereof... I'm happy for them!

Happy New Year!

during my SG days I never had to share the bed. The college was fortunate enough to have resources and money.

But we did have to share rooms which was awkward for students at a commuter school.
