* ''Film/LoveActually'': A deleted scene shows the school teacher sitting in bed with her wife and telling her how one of her students, when asked to write a poem on his Christmas wish is, his wish was "that people's farts were visible". It's a scene that reveals a lot about the teacher: first, that she actually found the wish very funny and laughs about it (in an earlier scene (that ''did'' end up in the final movie), she was only shown sternly scolding the boy and his mother for it, but apparently those were not her real feelings about it); second, that she is in a gay relationship[[note]]A common comment on the movie is that, despite all the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters it has and its premise to show all the myriad forms of love, is that gay love is about the only form of love never mentioned.[[/note]]; third, that her wife is terminally ill (this also makes an earlier comment a fellow teacher had made in her presence about "Another pupil's Christmas wish was for his very sick sister to get better" HarsherInHindsight) and lastly, that behind her SternTeacher facade she actually is a loving [[TheCaretaker caretaker]].

* A curious and mostly out of fashion variation was the custom of "bundling" in which an engaged couple will be placed in the same bed after having proper restraints(like a board placed between the two or well tied blankets or what not) put there to prevent improprieties. I don't know how well such restraints worked.

** Considering my grandmother was conceived while her parents were 'bundling', I'm going to assume the answer is 'not well'.
