Seperate Sleeping? Anonymous Sat Mar 19 16:14:59 2011 No.7120432 [Reply] [Original]

Something I've noticed while reading manga and watching anime. A lot of the time, a married couple is depicted as sleeping in separate beds in the same room, even if the manga/anime in question isn't necessarily "kid friendly". Is this a common occurrence in Japan? That is, married couples sleeping in separate beds? Or am I just being a retarded foreigner?

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 19 16:16:59 2011 No.7120444 You're being retarded. But I can forgive you, because you're only retarded because your IQ drops below what your capacity is because of poor sleep resulting from sharing your bed with another. Less Japanese people suffer from this.

Okay, now you're just being a twat. Is it some cardinal sin that I came to ask a question about the Japanese... On the board focused around all things Japanese? Rather than, you know, the board that's half news and half talking about all of the other countries BESIDES Japan?

This whole thread and no one answered the actual question!!!

OP: In the west, it's more common for couples to sleep together (although many don't, the majority still does).
In Japan on the other side, couples normally sleep in separate beds. (Unless they're about to have sex...)

Traditionally, you'd have 2 futons, and then pull them closer to have sex.
Nowadays, it's often just beds, and people go to one of the two beds if they decide to have sex.

It's not anime lying to you, it's normal in Japan. :)
