Would you spoon with someone that was just a friend?

[Anonymous]

Is there such a thing as platonic spooning? Lol. Cause I personally don't think so. But I guess others might have a different opinion.

Of the opposite sex

Nah, that ain't platonic. Even though you can probably do it without completely breaking the friendship barrier.

The simple litmus test for judging how platonic something is if a straight guy would do it with another guy. So hugging is mostly platonic (because a guy could hug another guy in theory, although we rarely do it). Spooning is not so platonic, because a guy would never spoon with another guy, because that's too much physical intimacy for a sustained period of time.

Also, I wouldn't like it if my girlfriend was spooning with another guy.

Keep in mind though that this is all relative to the fact that most friendships between guys and girls are not purely platonic. That's why some people question if purely platonic friendships with the opposite sex are even possible. My guess is that most friendships between guys and girls are somewhere in between the extreme of being purely platonic and not platonic.

Spooning is a stretch for a platonic friendship that's going to remain platonic, unless you're really close friends and have an understanding that you're going to remain as just friends. Generally if you've gotten to the point where you're spooning, that means you're both open to going further than that. You don't have to, but the option is there.

If both the girl and myself were single and we were comfortable with each other then yes I would. But I do have some exceptions.

If either the girl or myself have a partner then it is a no go.
Like I said above I have to be comfortable with the girl which means she would probably have to be a fairly close friend.

If the situation is right then yes but if not then I wouldn't.

[SammyGurl]

No, not for me. Spooning is reserved for my one and only guy. it is for a committed relationship, not something casually tossed around.

[LittleSally]

If they're upset or something... for comfort...
Not for any other reason. Also - always asexual.

[JACCornell]

I spoon with my friends all the time, it's comfortable

On average you probably won't see it often due to the fact of guys getting a boner most of the time. That's if they find her attractive. It can be embarrassing getting a boner for a friend, and extremely awkward if they don't feel the same way. So if anything it would probably be avoided..

[Booff]

lol any girl who puts her butt on my crotch is going to give me a boner except if she's ugly cause then i wouldn't be spooning with her even if we were just friends

[stevie123]

I wouldn't do it, it's too personal.
I save that for a GF.
How would explain that boner to your friend?

[vet31bSoldier]

I've done it before *shrugs* comfortable way to watch a movie. lol

[Asker]

But would you spoon with a girl while sleeping?

[vet31bSoldier]

we well asleep to the movie and woke up in the same position like 6 hours later.. so I guess yes, I would lol

[exoticdoll]

yes with my girl-friends lol, but the only guy id do it with is my boyfriend.

[zombiebabe]

nope i prefer to do it with the person i'm in a relationship with

[handsomepoet]

I guess spooning with friends of the opposite sex is perfectly fine as long as you're both single and thoroughly enjoy each other's company; and are also aware that sometimes physical closeness can lead to unprepared for situations. Careful.

[TheEnding]

Probably not a good idea. Someone's gonna end up wanting more and someone's gonna get hurt.

[syd48]

A man and a woman spooning is not platonic.

[CuriousCatbug]

never, there just is no need really O_O

[rjroy3]

If it's a legitimate friend, no.

[overachievinglunatic]

I would be afraid of getting a boner

[Shut_Up_And_Marry_Me]

Ya but, it could become something more lmao.
