Tucking in

[tolyk]

In conversation with someone, it came to my awareness that the act of tucking in your significant other isn't extremely common as I figured it was.

When I'm staying up later than my S/O, I go and make sure they're comfortable, bring them a water bottle, tuck them in, kiss their forehead, etc. Or, remotely, I stay with them on the phone until they are snoring, my virtual version of tucking in.

Is this common or not, let the poll decide.

Edit: I should've added polls for S/Os to answer if they get tucked in. Please just answer that as if you were the one doing the tucking.
Edit2: Also, sorry about the lack of poll options for non-binary, genderfuild, etc. It starts with 4 poll options and I really didn't think to add more. I apologize if anyone felt excluded.

Gosh, yes. I want them to feel safe and warm and secure. Heck, I even tuck people in who aren't my SO. When my gardener sleeps in the house, I tuck him in!

Thanks Jada!!

 

[tolyk]

I tuck in my children. I say goodnight to my SO in other loving ways.

Thanks for contributing

Yeah that’s fucking weird to tuck in your gardener.

Hehe. He seems to like it! He's more than my gardener. We're good friends. He does live here in a separate building but sometimes he's in here, gets tired and falls asleep on the couch. I tuck pets in too.

 

[tolyk]

Just going to bump this up for everyone waking up.

You will never catch me tucking in my SO and if I catch my SO tucking me in I’ll probably throat punch him. To me, it’s something you do for a child and not an adult.

 

[AlwaysFara]

He covers my feet so the clowns don’t get me.

 

[AveryElle]

No, he’s an adult.
And I like to have my space in bed.
I do tuck my child in, however. But I think that’s mostly for me anymore.

 

[tolyk]

I have to say, I'm a little surprised at the visceral reactions this question has sparked, and at the poll results thus far.

Would love to see more people weigh in.

Hmm..interesting thread, Tol. Though I'm not a tucker or a tuckee I think it's a super sweet concept I might want to start using. Maybe not to the extent you described but something in between like going to kiss them goodnight if they go to bed before me or A quick cuddle if they want it. And vice versa.

I don't have an SO at the moment. But when I do have someone I care for, child or adult, and they're retiring before I do, I turn down the bed, fluff the pillow, and yes. Tuck them in with a kiss goodnight. It's an act of caring in my mind.

Thank you for joining the conversation

Me too. Exactly that. And an act of intimacy.

Absolutely love it......makes me feel cared for. It's equivalent to when I was a child and my Mom would bring me tea and toast when I was sick. I felt loved regardless of the hugs and I love you's we didn't have. If someone falls asleep on your couch, is it an instinct to grab a throw and put it around them? It means you're 'comfort'ing them, feeling for them. It's a good thing

 

[barefootgirl69]

Long distance phone or messages 'tuck in' is just as good...it's about letting someone know you care.

When I was married, it was no different.

 

[tolyk]

Guys, come weigh in! Need some more perspective on this.

 

[SassySheDevil]

My husband still does this to me every night and we've been married 27 years. Very much like Tolyk described. I love it. He doesn't pull my covers up, or make sure that I am necessarily tucked in. But he does the rest.

I think it’s part of the little/age play disagreements. I don’t feel visceral to your specific question but it is possibly something people lump in with that kink, and their issues with that roll into this.

Just a thought!

My wife isn't a little, and I'm not a Daddy. I've been doing it since we met. It's more one last connection before sleep, especially when our sleep schedules are so different that we often aren't even in bed at the same time.

 

[Leigh81]

I wouldn't say I tuck him in unless it's one of those rare times he's sick. So during that time when he's a big baby then yes I've tucked the poor boy in.
At the very least

 

[Sexybritches69]

I agree with Leigh—when he’s sick or has had a rough day at work, I’ll make sure he’s settled and comfortable, just to try and comfort him a bit. But on a normal night, no we don’t do this anymore.

Didn’t say you were. But I think those with a negative reaction may lump it in as an activity with that dynamic.

 

[UgliestSon]

Put me down for a no tuck.

I don't think everyone who replied used the poll. Oh well

 

[AlwaysFara]

I did.
I said I preferred fucking, but he does cover my feet if they are out.
It’s one of the most loving little things I was missing from other relationships... shit like that. The tenderness and the care. He may leave bruises all over me, but the clowns will never get my toes.
