Leave the bed

[happybogna]

Can you say "I don't want to leave the bed" which means that you
don't want to get out of bed?

Certainly. It adds a slightly greater emotional content that bed is a
very nice place to be rather than you just don't want to get up. The meaning
will obviously vary between, for instance, times of stress and romance. I
emphasise slightly as in many cases they will be taken identically.

Reasonably early in the morning away from home, a girl saying to a boy that
fancies her, "I didn't want to leave my bed this morning" combined with a 'just
got out of bed' look - hair ruffled, make-up partly done and a button on the
blouse accidentally left open - will have his hormones on overtime, his juices
flowing and generally stimulate his erotic imagination. Add a sweet innocent
smile looking right into his eyes and he'll probably dribble. (Well I would, at
least metaphorically.) So don't do this to someone you don't want to encourage.

Steve.... you dirty, dirty boy :-)

Thanks for the compliment. However...

The social impact of language is rarely understood. At the close of an
end-conference vodka drinking session in a hotel corridor seating area, I was
chatting with two stunning (ie normal for Poland) girls when one asked, "Are we
going to bed?". Fortunately I knew that this had very different meanings in
London style and Polish style English.

Once, when I was changing flats, I didn't want to leave my bed as
well:)
