Have you ever spooned with a straight guy?
Study: 93% of straight British men have spooned with another guy
I have to say, I'm a bit skeptical of that figure. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe half had, but 90%+?
The study, published last month in the Men and Masculinities journal, was conducted by two researchers at Winchester and Durham Universities.
Among an (admittedly quite small) sample of 40 heterosexual men, the paper found: “In addition to cuddling, participants also engage in ‘spooning’ with their heterosexual male friends.

Key is in the sample size. Only 40 people.
I'm pretty sure most girls have too..

It's from a sample size of 40 - there's no way any self-respecting scientist would say you can generalise from that.

Presumably not, I don't see why spooning with another guy would be inconsistent with heterosexuality
No guy has ever spooned me

I wouldn't say it's particularly consistent with heterosexuality either

"Latently homosexual men engage in studies for Men and Masculinities Journal"?

Proud to be in the 7%!
Why proud? It would be great if spooning was socially acceptable among friends.

You don't have to be to spoon.... it's pretty much just lying next to each other.
