5/11 Sleeping naked together is so profound. You’d think this is a discovery on the scale of a new drug, or a new continent, and people would be talking about it and it would be all over the place. But it’s silent, as if everyone agreed to pretend it is not even happening. People do talk about sex, so it’s not that. Sleeping naked, lovers’ bodies entwined, is so intimate that even mentioning it seems inappropriate. It’s on the tip of arousal but does not rise to the high stakes of sex, and yet you cannot believe what you’ve found as you slip under the covers, you can have everything, and you do.
