I'm a huge dude, and being the little spoon is what's up.

I love feeling comforted.

    Haven't felt this in awhile and it sucks.

    Especially since she's still right there but wants nothing to do with me.

    I love snugs, front or back, don't don't matter. Sometimes I feel guilty about the time spent, but what's the point of living if you can't find a little happiness? it also sometimes ends in buttsex. i won't say who's butt

    What about the lower arm of the big spoon? It's always in the way! Haven't found a way to put it somewhere where it won't a) be in the way or b) be cut off from blood circulation in minutes.

    What am I doing wrong for the last 30-odd years?

    Under the smaller spoon's neck while their head is on a pillow? Big spoon might have to move up a little. There's usually a bit of room there that can get you more than a few minutes before your arm gets uncomfortable.

    I had a terrible ex but this is one thing I miss about her. She was anemic so she was always cold and loved snuggling like this.

    Not for me. My partner has to stay on his side of the bed. I’ll build a fortress of pillows and blankets before I’ll allow that kind of encroachment. No going over the neutral zone.

    I still prefer he’s at least in the bed though. Sucks when one of us is sick and sleeps in the guest bed.

    My partner is like this too. Seperate sheets and blankets. She puts up with a bit of my cuddle-lust, but you can tell she doesn't like it. She has mentioned a pillow wall. But she finds sleeping seperately to be just devestating, and even during our worst arguments she wants me in the same bed.

    I miss that so much. Married someone who can't stand having me in the bed so I sleep on the couch.

    Yes, that feeling is called 'oxytocin'.

    Human consciousness is more complicated that the constituent neurotransmitters

    Ehhh, not really. We also have associations with past events and emotions are a bit culturally mediated, but the neurotransmitters are doing the heavy lifting.

    Our emotions are just a chemical system. The subjective experience feels more complicated than just "now i have oxytocin", but lots of things feel different than they really are.

    Human consciousness is an ongoing process that is produced by an inordinately complicated interplay of neurons and many chemicals and other things and factors...

    But yeah, its a ... semi-reasonable simplification to say that the feeling of waking up with a partner you love, are physically and emotionally close to...

    Yeah that basically is your body giving you a lot of oxytocin, that produces that kind of content/safe/never want to leave feeling.
