The marine guy and his buddy shared a bed, and then it was me and this stranger who wasn’t bad-looking himself. The other three guys decide to immediately strip to their undies in the hotel room, and I follow (and then get under the covers to hide my boner).
They were all straight, and it was assumed I was at the time because this was long before I’d crack the closet door. “I was on a competition trip in college, and our hotel arrangement was four guys in one room.

No cuddling or spooning though with any of them. “I’ve shared a bed with friends, one I thought was attractive. I don’t see him that way, so it’s just two friends sharing a bed.” He knows I’m gay and is really comfortable. As an adult, I sleep on my friend’s bed when I go visit him. Not sure if he was ever curious or not, but he went on to have two kids, and he seems to only be into women as far as I can tell. I was too scared to do anything, so I just pretended to be asleep. One time one of them reached over and put his arm over me and grabbed me. “As a teen, I would sleep in the same bed with different friends if I stayed over. But before this, in high school, I shared a bed with my best friend every day because we basically lived together, and he was mostly straight, but one day things got pretty gay, and we f*cked.” Never thought anything sexual about it, even though we would play grab-ass. The only way to warm up would be to share a sleeping system/mosquito bag or cuddle up in a pile. “As a marine during combat training, we used to sleep outside in the field, and it would get super cold. I was the last one up, so I don’t know what his reaction was, but even though we hung out some the previous day, we didn’t that day, and it was the last of the trip.” The other two in the room woke up first and told us that by morning that blanket was on the floor, I was big spoon he was little spoon, sound asleep. So, we put the heavy top blanket between us as a divider before sleeping. I hadn’t really talked much to the guy I ended up sharing a bed with beforehand - it was a big group - but I thought he was pretty good-looking (because all ‘straight’ guys think about that). There were two beds and four dudes to a room. “I went to a weekend conference once in college before I realized I wasn’t straight, and we had to share beds at the hotel. He was a little cute, and if he liked guys, I would date him, but our next stop was his girlfriend’s apartment, so that was the last time. I also tried to hide my growing boner as he was doing it lol. I liked it, though, and pretended not to notice as long as possible so he wouldn’t stop. In the morning, he woke up first and started poking/tickling me in my butt/back/belly/feet to try to gradually wake me up. I got in bed and tried to distance myself as much as possible.
He invited me to share with him, which was nice and made the situation less awkward. Among us three visitors, one knew I was gay, the other didn’t. “One time, there were four of us at a friend’s house with three beds.

Need other anecdotal evidence? After one Reddit user asked the users of r/askgaybros if they’ve ever cuddled or shared a bed with an attractive straight friend, many commenters related experiences of snuggling and spooning their hetero brethren. A British study published in 2014 found that nearly 93 percent of college men said they shared a bed with another guy, and as we’ve previously reported, some straight guys even seek out therapeutic cuddle groups with other men. Turns out, men love cuddling with other men, regardless of sexuality.
