Have you mastered being the Big Spoon?

haha

I have no problem being either spoon.

I'd rather be a spork.

Please unpack that for us.

generally comes in easy to rip open plastic wrapper iirc

there's often a napkin included

That's very thoughtful, to include a napkin.

Misread this as Have You Masturbated The Big Spoon?

That's very thoughtful, to include a napkin.

And one that's already folded, to boot.

Basically I don't sleep while touching at all. And every time I fussily arrange my pillows at night and sink gratefully into them, I feel a twinge of guilt that I'm depriving my partner of something sweet and important, that I'm some kind of overly fussy neurotic who can't relax if there's any stimuli. Also if I don't support my feet the right way etc, I wake up with horrible back pain, so this isn't just fussiness on my part.

How sad would you be if yr partner slept like a corpse, with hands folded on stomach, and didn't want to be touched? I wonder how much of a priority I should make it to find a new & better mattress so that maybe I don't have to do this.

I have to admit I'd find it a bit sad if I couldnt cuddle in bed, L! But then again, one's partner's comfort and health is also important!

If you married someone like that, you might need an arrangement allowing a cuddler on the side.

Mainly tho tbrr it's all about finding a comfortable tangled leg arrangement

Spooning by itself is classic of course, but touching while sleeping is a lie we have all been told - free yourselves!
