Wouldn't it be nice, if you could just ask your friends for sex, the same way you ask them to go out for coffee? No pressure, no awkwardness. Just a message 'Hey, wanna meet and sleep together?' And people could decline casually if they are busy or don't feel like it. Or you meet, have sex, hang out a little and go home.
This post has really made the rounds lately. It seems to resonate with a lot of people. 
@fissile that would be so cool 😉😁😍
@fissile this was quite usual in gay spaces

@fissile well yes, but that phrasing would way too often lead to misunderstandings

like, when I’m asking someone "wanna sleep together", that’s literally what I mean. Sleeping. Not fucking. The latter might potentially also happen—just like chatting or cuddling—but that’s not what I’m asking about then (though tbh might be hoping for if that happened before, but I really should get in the habit of clarifying that more often then).

Also if I’m getting asked that, that euphemistic meaning would likely fly right past me and I’d be taken aback if there suddenly was some expectation of sex instead of it maybe naturally evolving, even reducing the probability of actually having sex (and it’d definitely be less good sex)

Otoh, simply asking "wanna have sex together" does work quite well, and can avoid the logistical efforts of a sleepover if that’s not really what you’re looking for

@trisschen Well, the phrase "let's sleep together" works differently in my native german. And generally you should of course use wording that is clear for everyone.

@fissile native german-speaker here as well, and the above experience is independent of language for me :D

using wording that’s clear for everyone is kinda difficult though when the slightest hint of possible partial nudity or a bed is taken as sexual request by some

@fissile why yes of course that's nice. it is quite what is going on here
