Cows Sleep Standing Up

I guess all clueless bovines, bulls and cows included, are affectionately desperate for any advice that might give them insight into matters of relationship, even if said advice was superficial, generic, typecast sort. That's also because many often see themselves as falling into a certain personality type or star sign, so this self-fulfilling self-categorisation is best understood by those who resort to explanations which help elucidate such categories of behaviour.

On a different note, much has been said about couple sleep positions in women’s books and magazines (Never in guy mags – never. Of pre-sleep positions however, certainly much more has been written about. Heh. I think the presumption is that the sleep part of the bed activity is the last concern on their minds.) The much that has been said though, seem to revolve around the most obvious and truistic of interpretations: couple facing each other – romantic and loving, couple spooning – comfortable and close, couple facing away – independent and colder. That’s about as helpful as matching compatibilities through (again) personality types, star signs, favourite alcohol drinks, taste in clothes, etc.

This popped up because I was making fun of Cow for her lack of need for body contact while sleeping – something of a surprise for me since all the old cows I remember wanted some way or other to drape arms or curve bodies or even cross feet as a way of being ‘in touch’ so to speak for the duration of the night. Cow’s defence was that the last bull was likewise unfettered by such cheesy needs as well, and that sleep was a purely pragmatic activity to singularly get from consciousness to unconsciousness in the most efficient manner possible. I suspect a similar pattern may be observed for post-coital cuddles.

Now I’d like to see a women’s magazine give that some exploration.
