lemmebeYourMine -> RE: Should subs sleep in the Doms bed ? (9/15/2008 7:57:28 PM)

Three things in the article stood out, here are some points I haven't heard from other posters. 1) None of the couples were married to each other,were they in some way commited to each other...it failed to say for sure. so I question their intentions with each other, JUST How well did the man and woman know each other for how long? Having someone new in the bed is always stressful and or an adjustment. You don't get adjusted to someone in 10 days, or maybe not even a few months. After a year or more, you get to knowing where they'll be, how they prefer sleeping and so very much more. Just being committed to each other and knowing that how you sleep, if you snore, and any bad habits that might "disturb" the way we sleep Don't matter, would relax and reassure one to an extent. Secondly, is the quote and someone did play on this, "Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do." Urm, historically we all slept in one tent (tee-pee) Or maybe mudhouse. On the floor, and probably in much bigger piles... So what/whose history was he digging into? Whoops people have mentioned I love Lucy, and Leave it to Beaver; as examples of not sleeping in the same bed. Would and did couples back then? Yes... I think you'll find they did and would have. BUT in the 40's, 50's and sometimes even 60's Sex was a taboo thing to think about, suggest, or air on television. So TV couples were made to sleep in two seperate beds. I'm thinking being part of the study and being attached to these devices would be more disturbing and uncomfortable than the fact that they are sleeping with someone else in bed with them. This study is unconclusive, and seemingly unscientific; There is just not enough data for the 'suggestion' being made to really be supported or denied. The Demography of the test subjects, is not random enough. The tests themselves are not reproducible from where I stand.. . but that could be the article and not the researcher's fault. Still you can't sum anything up from studying one age group unless the study is only for couples in their twenties; and then any published results must needs specify that. So those are my thoughts. I think living arrangements for sub/slaves and their Master/Doms are and should be, based on the needs, and wants of each individual D/s coupling. It is not for others to tell us how we are most comfortable sleeping it is for each individual to decide for themselves. lemmebe.
