Cuddle Club
So on an overnight flight in Y the gal next to me ended up on my shoulder. Not the first time. By mid flight her arm was around me and she'd made herself quite comfortable. About an hour later she woke up and then woke me up with her apologizing. I told her it wasn't a problem. I probably slept better myself. So, she put the arm up between us and settled back in.
Anyway, we decided there's a need for a Cuddle Club among overnight flyers. Those in the club can have a bookmark with the CC logo on the top and if they're OK with in-flight cuddling can place it in their seatback (in a book, magazine, etc.). My seatmate then raised a sticky issue. She was in the middle seat and said that while I was fine, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to even get close to the guy on the other side.

Haha, excellent. I had to think about Jenni's thread also. 
While I like the idea, I would hardly ever use the "Cuddle Club" bookmark. Out of well over a 100 flights, there are about three where I would have been up for it.
Would be a nice idea to introduce this as a new class on flights. C (Cuddle), Y, J and F
Careful tho, Ryanair might use this as an excuse to cramp in more seats (Four PAX in a three seat cuddle row...)

I've had a fair number of these myself. Flying TATL 8-10 times per year since I was 16 has definitely got its benefits...

Some people have all the luck. On my last overnight flight, I was seated next to my brother who kept sliding close to me causing me to move the other way. Apparently he was dreaming about his wife!
