In the colonial days they practiced a co-ed sleep over called “bundling” where a boy and a girl spent the night together in the same bed just to get used to each other. Not what it sounds like. Heck in those days even kids drank alcohol.

Yes, but bundling was practiced in the winter and both participants were wrapped up in cocoons. The idea was to permit them to speak intimately through the night without being able to have physical contact.

Bundling boards were often placed between the couple.

When they bundled they had a bundling board between them. and they were essentially tied into the bed close but not together.
