Spooning is never done with a platonic motive. I can't see why you'd want to within a strict friendship, and let us say that you do find yourself in that situation where you both do it platonically, that level of intimacy will inevitably make it hard for the guy to control certain instincts, that is, erection. Not that he means to, but young men have far less control over it.
Yes I had an on going snuggle buddy for years. Spooning was usually the way we cuddled. There was never any sex involved. Sometimes we had clothing of some sort on but most of the time just our birthday suits. We are not cuddle buddies anymore but still friends. So yes there can be platonic spooning.
This is the first time I've heard of platonic spooning. It sounds too close for comfort if he's not related or someone I'm dating, but otherwise probably doable. Maybe there should be a clear agreement between the two first before engaging in anything like it though.
Yes. I have done it before to girl friends, and kids. Platonic might not be the right word as it describes a deep platonic connection between you. Familial, and friendly might be more casual words for it.

It's really going to depend on the guy. Most guys will say no, because this kind of closeness is reserved for relationships. I personally disagree as I've had a couple friends who were women and we would regularly cuddle platonically. In my opinion it's okay to be close enough to cuddle with your friends without an expectation for any kind of deeper relationship.
Not all people will be the same, and
No one knows what they're doing!
By platonic, do you mean no “sexual feeling“ or “no sexual activity” ?
the latter no activity~ absolutely!
the first “ no sexual feeling” well I’m sure people can... but id assume it’s rare that anyone wants to spoon in the first place~ without SOME attraction.
It's not possible, because at some point the thought of sex will arise. My money's on the fact that both parties will think about it. Even if it's a short, shallow thought. That in itself negates it being platonic.
I think it's possible with a same gender friend (if you're straight) but I couldn't imagine it to be platonic with a guy.
I use to spoon my ex all the time running my fingers through her hair holding her tight to make her feel safe and loved not gonna lie it was hard not that kinda hard but hard not to do anything sexual but sometimes a woman does just want to be held
I don't really get the idea behind that:) even if I could think of some theoretically.
I want to be bottom spoon. Pinned with the body weight of my lover. I find it comforting.
It's possible. but the odds of it turning non-platonic are very high.
The only spooning I could do is when someone I'm attracted to. Otherwise I wouldn't want to get that close.
I'd say it is possible but do you really want to spoon a guy whose body is rubbing against yours and yet isn't physically attracted to you at all.
It's possible yes, so long as neither person has attraction for each other
I would not spoon with a male friend. Way to close for comfort
That is getting very close to not being platonic...
As long as she’s cool with feeling my erection in her back yeah sure
Possible yes to intend to be platonic, but usually things will want to escalate
I've tried spooning my guy friends but the think I'm gay.
I don’t mind really I like it it’s comforting
I think it's possible
Yes it is. I have had cuddle buddies before.
Cuddling yes, spooning... very unlikely.
