Bundling
So apparently back in the day, there was this courtship ritual called "bundling," which meant... tucking a girl and boy in a bed together and leaving them for the night. But sex was a big no-no -- in fact, the girl's parents would often sew her into something like a sleep sack for the night to discourage lewd behavior. According to one website, "Proponents of bundling in bed felt that visiting on a couch presented far more temptation, although some courting also was done in that manner."

Yes, I've heard of bundling, but I thought it was an Amish thing. Oh, reading the Wikipedia entry, I see that in the US it was primarily an Amish thing. I always thought of it as one of those ways that they sort of allow a release from their otherwise restrictive society, like rumspringa.
