Pillow Talk

Contrary to the top definition, Pillow Talk actually has two connotations.

The first connotation is the most thought of one. It's intimate talk with your romantic partner in bed, either before or after sex (but usually after). It is usually at this moment where all personal thoughts, desires and troubles are revealed in a candid tone. Those thoughts you've locked away during daytime are now front and center, completely transparent to your partner. Pillow talk can really be anything, it can be goofy or serious, but the main distinction is that everything spoken is 100% candid and true to themselves. No pretense, just you being you.

The second connotation is less restrictive and applies more generally. Here, Pillow Talk is referring to the intimate deep conversations between two or more people within a platonic relationship (e.g. friend, colleague). It often takes place in a location that stimulates bonding and conversation. For example, a literal sleepover with your friends can spur pillow talk, or a night out at a pub with your bros. Again, same meaning applies here. The conversations are usually very candid and lasts for hours, no pretense whatsoever.

Overall, pillow talk is a crucial component in relationships and its effect can be very therapeutic.
Example 1(A): During pillow talk, Amy revealed her troubled past with her abusive alcoholic father. His boyfriend consoled her and she felt a lot better.
Example 1(B): See any episode of two and a half men

Example 2: Jake and his buddies had a sleepover and they had a long pillow talk about anxiety and depression and seeked each other's help/advice.

Pillowhawk

Usually reserved for those with short hair, the pillowhawk is a morning hairstyle resulting from a side sleeper's positions during a night's sleep. The hair takes on a mohawk-type shape from alternating both sides of the head on a pillow.

Couples usually talk about what’s on their mind during pillow talk. It’s oftentimes an easy conversation about the events of the day or week, in a safe and comfortable space. Afterwards, you fall asleep.

pillow talk

Pillow Talk can be any variety of things. It can be before or after being intimate, or without that at all. The point of pillow talk, though, is for two people to enjoy each other's presence through conversation, in a somewhat spontaneous way, but in a way that will let both parties go to bed with clear heads.
