Definition: The act of two strictly platonic male friends sharing a bed, often for emotional support or convenience, resulting in accidental or intentional physical proximity that defies stereotypical male boundaries. It involves zero romantic or sexual intent, purely existing in the realm of deep friendship and mutual comfort. The vibe is less “sleepover romance” and more “weathered the emotional storm together and now we’re crashing hard.” It’s the ultimate display of bromantic trust where vulnerability is allowed but any implication of attraction is met with immediate, loud denial. The shared warmth is purely logistical and/or emotionally necessary.
Example: After Dave’s brutal breakup, he spent a week crashing in my bed for Bro-ternity Cuddles. We’d stay up till 3 AM dissecting his ex’s texts, then pass out shoulder-to-shoulder – strictly for morale and space efficiency, obviously.
