If you can stay that way to fall asleep, then great! I just can't get comfortable enough to sleep that way. It sounds dorky and prob TMI, but I sleep best with a guy (actual SLEEP, not play!) if we are both facing out with our butts or feet touching...just a small connection but still able to sleep and not feel smothered!
I find there is too much body heat under the covers to fall asleep when 2 people are entwined. I dont mind it in the summer when there are not as much covers. I like to sleep with one or 2 feet stickin outside the covers to help regulate my temperature.
It's hard to comment when I can't recall. I was a cuddler and liked to touch toes, or have some physical contact when sleeping or going to sleep. Loved to touch touch touch.
"What is the deal with post sexual act cuddling??? "
Interesting question. The ex and I used to sleep intertwined, I'd gotten quite used to that.
The first time I slept with the new guy, there was a little bit of post-act snuggling - but then, when it was time to go to sleep, he wanted me to go to MY side of the bed. ALL the way. Far side of a California King. Like 3 feet away! No touching!
I'll admit, it kinda freaked me out at first. What, didn't he like me?
Now I know that he just doesn't sleep well in general, and feels he needs his space to sleep.
But I also notice that, as he lets down his defenses and gets a little closer to me, he now sleeps a little bit closer, and even occasionally touches me with a foot or something, lol.
One morning we even fell back asleep while spooning - when I woke up, I was very surprised that he hadn't even chewed his arm off!!!
Ummm...........guess we don't want to be perceived as cheap and easy even though we do have sexual desires of our own?
I know in my case my mom told me literally every day of my teen life that if I slept with a guy before marriage I would be 'trash' and a 'slut'....there goes that family of origin creeping in! I lied and let her think Dan and I waited--granted we did wait 2 years.
In my case I think there is just an inner conflict between "Hey it's been two years, come ON"...and "Sex right out of the gate is not what I am used to"...
