My friend sleeps over in my bed is this normal?

I did that once, but thats because my close friend graeme came to visit me when i was in college, and i had a real shity bachelor apartment with absolutely no where else to sleep. And to me, that is the only context I can see this as being normal, when there are no other options. I am also a little confused about your age difference. You seem to be 10 years older than this fellow, yet you say that you have been friends for as long as you can remember. So when you were 23, and he was 13, did you too sleep in the same bed? That is most definitely not normal.

You two are pretty comfortable with each other and are very good friends. Thats nice. I think this is normal. Because he is sleeping over frequently I can see why you may feel that another arrangement would be appropriate. Privacy. Boundaries. He's sleeping in your wife's bed too, I gather.

I think human beings just need comfort and contact with each other, regardless of age or gender. It's just society that makes us think it's wrong to share a cozy warm bed with a good friend, that's one of the most innocent and beautiful things in the world is two people just wanting to be close and not because they are sexually attracted to each other but because they genuinely care for each other.

I'm a guy and I used to sleep at my best friend's house and he would always sleep in the same bed with me, often he would roll over and hold me like a teddy bear in his sleep, I just thought it was cute and innocent how loving human beings can be without the hateful stigma society tries to place on people, as if they can't have any deep connection with people of the same sex, I think it's wrong to attempt to make something so sweet and innocent look ugly. And I feel sorry for people who fell into that way of thinking and never shared a deep connection with a best friend, because it's likely the most amazing relationship you'll ever have, it's literally like you're one soul separated at birth and coming back together just feels more awesome than I've ever felt with any sexual partner. True best friends I think are the some of the most important relationships in the world, and hopefully society will grow up and not try to shame something so beautiful.

When I lost a girlfriend 15 years ago, I don't even remember her name or what she looked like, but I also lost my best friend 15 years ago and still dream of him often and makes me incredibly sad knowing we're apart. That's the impact that best friends have that sexual partners can only fill with diamonds and other material goods because they lack true connection.

When you have true connection that truly best friends often have, not just good friends, but soul mates, no amount of diamonds in the world are important, they are like dust... and you would gladly sacrifice your own life to save that person if you had to.

Normal. I would like to have a friend that close, you're lucky.

I honestly think its perfectly normal.
My friends sleep in my bed too.

It's pretty normal, just seeing as you're close friends and all that. It's only what you make it to be.

I'm 23 and I used to sleep in the bed with all my female friends. Up until I lost contact with them. We all kinda drifted apart.
I even shared my bed with my one bisexual friend. I didn't care since we were just sleeping. *shrug*

Kind of fruity

I tried this one time with my best friend. It didn't go well.

I voted that it wasn't normal, but I think it was more of a man reaction. Or the single child in me coming up.

Either way, if you're comfortable with it, no worries. Just don't end up spooning him or anything. Unless you have to...then be the big spoon.

No problem / but he probably wants to bum you.

Unless he shows signs of wanting more than don't worry. Girls do this all the time. I think it all depends on the way the guy feels about you.If he tries anything hurt him, but otherwise its ok.

This is normal and I'm sure there will be others who read this and tell you otherwise. You are not cuddling right? No spooning? Just sleeping? No problem. If you feel totally akward you might invest in a cot or something or an air bed. I think that there is nothing wrong with it though, my best friend and I have done that since we were little girls in preschool and its never even been an issue (and I am married also...to a man, as is she). No biggie if you don't make it one.
