I have texted people while in bed with them, though not while "in bed" with them.

To say what? "Are you awake?" "If we had done it, would it have been good 4 U 2?" :) (Although seriously, slightly puzzled.)

Perhaps if the other was solidly asleep and you wanted to ask them a Q that you would forget in the morning. So the text is more of a maildrop.

For most people I know/"know", I'd think an email would be better[1] :) And also, this relies on the phone not waking them up when the text arrives. If not, I admit that's perfectly sensible thing to do.

[1] Some people might prefer a paper note, but if you're used to tasks arriving electronically, a note is just something you have to transcribe.

To say "snog" or "hug" mostly. I didn't say it was sensible.

*hug* OK, that makes sense. (My brain is thinking "Agh! Unromantic inefficiency". But then, I'm not normal. And would probably think differently *in* bed :))

It's not in the nature of being romantic, it's in the nature of being silly. This is very much my nature.

And being silly definitely is romantic (eg. because you're so relaxed it doesn't matter, romance is difficult if it has to be serious, witness how people in love always laugh), just that for me personally an emphasis on analysing the most efficient nature of communication narrowly pips it to the post :)
