Study: More Men Than Women Sleep With Teddy Bears

 

According to a survey by hotel chain Travelodge, more men said they take teddy bears to bed. The survey found 20% of respondents that were male were teddy bear cuddlers, while only 15% of women admitted to the practice.

The study was commissioned so Travelodge could determine whether or not promotion for their new pillow with arms, called a Cuddilow, is worth the effort. 63% of the 2,000 participants said a bedtime cuddle was necessary for them in order to sleep.

They also found that 8% of females spray their nightclothes or pillow with aftershave belonging to their partner. When asked, a man's #1 cuddler would be Angelina Jolie, and Johnny Depp for women. 9% also admitted being scared when sleeping alone.

  Does Angelina Jolie  
 
cuddle?

I'd think her more likely to stab.

  One-word explanation  
 
Plushophiles.

Most plushie-philes are male, and I'd venture a guess that this population may have influenced the results.

  Survey!  
 
How may of you guys sleep with teddy bears?
 
 by: John E Angel     03/17/2007 07:52 AM     
  LOL  
 
I bet 19% of the guys said they had one as a joke. Who really goes to a hotel and takes the survey seriously?

Everyone's a comedian

  Not a Guy  
 
But ever since my dog died I have slept with a stuffed animal that looks like her. The cat used to hide it, but finally realised there is room for her and the stuffie.

  well, ok  
 
I'm not a guy or a plushiephile, but I do sleep with a horribly ugly sock monkey my mate got me a few years ago! :P

  Does the result have anything to do  
 
with their status?
For example, some people cuddle teddy bears when they are single but not in a relationship with a man/ woman next to them.

I like Angelina. And I could make a few comments about stabbing too.
