I just slept in the same bed with my brother

When I was young I used to have very frequent nightmares. I would always go to my older brothers room, since our mom worked the graveyard shift at the hospital. As I got older, they became less and less common. It's been a few years since my last nightmare, and now I'm 15, while he's 17. A couple nights ago, I had a nightmare. Which I wont bother to explain here, but it left me terrified.

Our mom still works the graveyard shift, so I went to his room. I woke him up and asked if I could sleep with him for the night. He said okay and I crawled into his bed. He wrapped his arms around my stomach, and pulled my up against him. It wasn't like he was groping me or anything, but I felt better now that he was there.

I'm not sure how I should feel about this, he was warm, and made me feel safe. I think that's it. But now things are kind of awkward between us and I'm having trouble talking to him. I just don't know how to go about handling this.

    Sounds like he was just being a brother. Nothing sexual about it, you needed reassurance and comfort and he gave it to you, and that's all it was. Thank him for comforting you when you needed it, and leave it at that.

    I agree with analsexonly lol.

    You probably feel awkward because you two are older. Listen, you're never too old for your family.

    Firstly let's get the elephant out of the room - incestual desires are not that abnormal as long as you are aware that it puts limit on procreation and such relationship must be kept secretive from society.
    To the main point - as long as there was no sexual tension there's nothing wrong about it, it's only your own thoughts and shyness that make it awkward.

    I stayed in the same bed with my hot older sister at a hotel one night, with others in the room. We'd moved a friend's kid to college and stayed over. Soon as the covers were over us, she curled right up to me, my hand was up her shirt, as was hers to mine, and we slept like that all night. Was great, very warm, and reinforced our connection.

    He wrapped his arms around your stomach and pulled you up against him. So, basically spooning you with his cock against your ass. Nah, nothing sexual about it.

    If there is nothing sexual, why are you feeling awkward to each other, are you sure you don't have any sexual urges toward your brother that could be the reason, it not uncommon if you you have these desires for your brother there is nothing wrong its just people say its taboo, cuddling up like spoons with your bottom in his lap can cause a sexual reaction, it did with my brother I use to get in bed with him just for comfort, when I got in with him I didn't think about the fact my nightie was around my waist when I slid down my bare bottom was in his groin, I awoke to find his hardness against my back, I know what was happening we were adults, the comfort went further than it should have, I don't feel any guilt and no regrets.
    Who ever you are you could be denying you natural urges this could be reason for feeling awkward.

    • I don't know if I could describe the way I feel about him. It's hard to say if I feel anything more than normal for him, since I don't know how other people feel about theirs siblings. We're certainly close, and love being around him. But I just don't know if see him in a sexual way. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, it's hard for me to clearly say how I feel.

    Don't pay attention to these people on here who are trying to make you think that something is wrong with you... When I was about that age, I used to hate sleeping in a room by myself, so I used to sleep on the floor of my sisters room. Maybe try sleeping on his floor or something like that. Some people just don't like sleeping in rooms by themselves, it doesn't mean they are after something else.

    You are lucky you have a nice brother. He gave you what you needed at the moment. He knows you don't want to strip and hump. He doesn't either.

    Next time you have a nightmare, be a big girl, stay in your bed and calm yourself down.
