Line 9:
* Used for [[Ship Tease]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', where the [[Les Yay|two main characters]] perform this as the viewers are introduced to [[There Is Only One Bed|their sleeping arrangement]]. "What do you think of the new recruits?" "Everyone is very energetic; it feels good." And lo, did the Nanoha/Fate [[Shipping|shippers]] [[Squee]].
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', in a strip series titled "Lithuania's Outsourcing" [[Large Ham|America]] and [[The Woobie|Lithuania]] do this. If that wasn't [[Ho Yay]] [[Ship Tease]] enough, they both talk about other guys they've slept with.
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'': in the middle of a lot of the later episodes, Utena and Anthy would discuss the events around the duels.

Line 28:
* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]''
* ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]''
* Bob and Emily in nearly every (if not every) episode of ''[[The Bob Newhart Show]]'', with a hilarious [[Shout-Out]] in the last episode of ''[[Newhart]]''.
* Much earlier, Rob and Laura Petrie in ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]''. Now infamous for the fact that, due to [[Executive Meddling|Broadcast Standards]] of the time, the obviously loving couple slept in separate beds. No wonder they only had one kid.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Although not a couple]] per se ([[Ho Yay|yeah, right]]), [[Yaoi Guys|Ernie and Bert]] do this [[Once an Episode|frequently]] on ''[[Sesame Street]]''.
Line 46:
 
== [[Theater]] ==
* ''[[Fiddler Onon the Roof]]'' has two songs in bed: one where Tevya explains his dream to his wife, and the second when he asks his wife if she loves him.
** In the film, only the dream song is in bed.

Line 63:
*** Why not talking at the same time as "other things"? Sounds like fun.
*** ... As in: The titular illustration in the book "Sam, the ceiling needs painting"
* A curious and mostly out of fashion variation was the custom of "bundling" in which an engaged couple will be placed in the same bed after having proper restraints(like a board placed between the two or well tied blankets or what not) put there to prevent improprieties. I don't know how well such restraints worked.
** This bears some comparison to the Minbari "three nights" custom, in [[Babylon 5]] in the sense that it is a way for an engaged couple to "test the waters" without going beyond convention.
