Guys, do you care if your girlfriend has a stuffed animal she sleeps with?

Question

I sleep with a stuffed bear that I bought about a year ago, and I don’t need it to sleep, I just like to sleep with it. When I first started dating my current partner I would throw him in my closet when he would come over. One day, I was rushing to get ready before he came over, and I accidentally forgot to put it away, as he was hidden between my pillows. My partner pulled him out and giggled, but I was so embarrassed. Somehow his roommates found out and they were giving me a hard time about it, so I still feel a little embarrassed. Is this a big deal?

Not really. Sure, it's kind of odd, but we ALL have odd things about us. For example: I know a man who, if you met him, would strike you as a perfectly normal 40-something husband and father. Loves his kids, loves his wife, works a normal (if not particularly interesting) job; a regular guy in all respects. But the moment he hears "It's Raining Men", he goes NUTS. He will start dancing- and I mean DANCING- with such vehemence that absolutely *everyone* sits up and takes notice. If the song stops, he'll start singing as well (which, on top of heavy dancing, is actually impressive physical exertion).

I've been out with him when this happened and even the super-flamboyant woo-hoo fabulous gay guys came over to tell him to tone it down; he just got MORE INTENSE. I even (and I want to stress that I had previously gained the deceased's permission) saw him do it at a FUNERAL. That also lead me to have the odd experience of having someone trying to punch me, but laughing too hard to land a blow.

Now I don't know if his wife knew about his habit beforehand, but she definitely does now, and when asked about it, just laughs. If she can tolerate THAT type of thing, sleeping with a stuffed animal is *nothing*.

More importantly, how did Pooh feel about being hidden between the pillows? :) :) :)

I have had a few girlfriends who held onto stuffed animals and I always thought it was cute unless they had 20+ teffy bears on their bed.

Not a big deal. It’s actually been shown to help depression and anxiety.

Littlemissbrat · Accepted Answer

My boyfriend bought me one and he loves when I sleep with it

Unknown_Swan_ · Answer

Of course not.

Many of us still sleep with stuffed animals. I myself still stuffed animals that sleep on my bed, they're now over 20 years.

They remind me of a time that is long gone now. So they will always be out and I couldn't care less what someone says about them.

Never be ashamed of anything like this

Honesttguy · Answer

He just acknowledge the toy, but those roomates giving hard time afterwards come on wtf is wrong with them? Get a life maybe?
Girls can do many things like that and its fine, its feminine thing to do so and you're a female so its nothing against your nature.

SenileOldMan · Answer

I think you will die in the zombie apocalypse if we can't protect you. But we will want to protect you so much. Everyone wants to protect you.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Nah, though it’s an indicator they have insecurities that will need to be addressed. It doesn’t bother me though. It’s also often (but not always) a good indicator that the girl is at least a little kinky.

bigmatt98 · Answer

No my girl has like 4 3 of which I bought her so no lol

Anonymous · Answer

Probably not if he giggled. I tend to think the same way a woman would if it were a guy that had it LOL, but to each their own. It's understandable to want that "comfort". Like a lot of people "hug" their pillow when they sleep (I'm one of them), and it's probably for the same reason, just a different object.

TheorionMage · Answer

Actually, its endearing...
MANY of my past companions had their first juvenile innocent pre-teen masturabatory humping, grinding experiences with over-sized stuffed animals. "... keepin ALL mah secrets safe tonight". ;)

AdithyaR · Answer

That's totally upto her.  How insecure does a dude have to be that he's upset by the thought of a girl cuddling with a plush toy?

jshm2 · Answer

As long as it's not stuffed with victims innards or is some creepy fucking thing, I really couldn't care what shares our bed.

this past Christmas i gave my s. o. a stuffed dog that looked like one of the dogs they have. i picked it up for them when we were in ny and they were at some business meetings. it was a sentimental way or reminder of our trip together even though the trip got screwed up

Diodoro · Answer

Girls can sleep with stuffed animals till the day they die pretty much lol. Not gonna judge a girl for that. Just one of those things.

ArchivalMars2 · Answer

No, not really, I mean I'm 25 so most of the girls I date still have a handful of things from when they were younger.

HighValue · Answer

It is totally fine as long as it is off the bed when we are sleeping together. Then she should be cuddling with me instead.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

it's fine, stop letting other people dictate what you like.  A girlfriend could have a hundred stuffed animals and I'd not think it weird.

Heartache0405 · Answer

What girlfriend? 😂 girlfriends only bring head aces and emotional pain as well as false Jail time and abuse that goes unpunished.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I bought one for my girlfriend. Doesn’t sleep w it all the time but sometimes. It’s good

Truthatanycost · Answer

It's very telling when one feels the need to hide their true self from a partner...

Anonymous · Answer

The stuffy is fine, not keen on the 'room mates 'somehow' found out about it' though, that seems like a betrayal of confidence to me, so perhaps not the guy you want in your life.

IMuser · Answer

When your partner is there, make him your "stuffed animal" and everything will be fine

Strightwhitrepub · Answer

I'd be jealous of the stuffed animal, probly would like it but not a deal breaker if she's a good woman. But part of being a good woman is letting go of childish stuff, and use your man for comfort

Browneye57 · Answer

It's not a big deal unless YOU make it one. It's adolescent.  Now if you were sleeping with your dildo, they'd make fun of that too. :)

mickeystoned · Answer

If it feels that void for her at night time when I'm not there then so be it but what I'm there I should be the cuddle Bear

exitseven · Answer

Not a big deal. I bet lots of people sleep with stuffed animals.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

It's not a big deal for a girl to sleep with a stuffed animal all I got say is Awww

DarkWinterNights · Answer

That’s kind of cute actually, as long as it isn’t a weird insecurity thing.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Nope; doesn't bother me. I used to sleep with stuffed animals as well, back in the day. I'm too old for that now, though.

Massageman · Answer

No problem, as long as the bear or unicorn doesn't replace me to cuddle with.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

Meh, eventually the stuffed animal gives way to a stuffed husband anyway.

worldscolide · Answer

I think it's cute personally. My wife still has dozens of stuffed animals by the way.

follow10069 · Answer

Trust me being with me she's going to forget all about having that at all and believe me i know what im talking about.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

I think its cute and i prefer girls who like stuffed animals. My girlfriend loves stuffed animals and i encourage her to have them out.

HarborLight · Answer

As many have already said, it's actually rather endearing. In a practical sense, your plush is really just a small pillow - but one that's kinda' charming and whimsical.

Waldoe · Answer

Not a big deal... womwn have a need to "Nurture"... so it's very normal... and guys don't "get it"

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yes. I don't desire to be with a child. Would make me question her mental maturity..

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nope not at all and she has.
