BED
Loss-of-control eating
The main idea of bed is a place for sleeping, either for people or animals.
Some of the many figurative uses of bed have to do with sex, because that’s where people have it: get into bed, go to bed, bed partner.
Bed is also used for a layer of something: the bed of a stream, a bed of flowers.
To bed something is to provide it with a bed, but when used with people it suggests that you have sex with them.
