I have flat out spooned with a half dozen of my closest friends....All night long....taking turns rotating from the big spoon all the way to the little one. We even went so far as to wrap arms around each other.
We were stuck in the mountains of Afghanistan in windy, below-freezing temperatures with no cold-weather gear (save one survival blanket for everyone) at 8,000+ feet of elevation, and freezing to death was the alternative, but it was as awkward as it sounds. Especially after people warmed up enough to start cracking the inevitable jokes.
