I know with two people laying side by side, it is warmer, but is the temperature increased, like 98.6* x 2 ????......(hubby says it's multiplied by two, I say it isn't so we're asking you guys)

Temperature is the measure of how much heat energy there is in a given volume of material.
Whether the temperature increases, decreases, or stays the same depends on how fast your bodies are making heat (nudge,nudge, wink, wink) and how fast that heat escapes.
That depends on the difference in temperature between the room and you ...
you lose heat a lot faster when it is freezing at 32 than in a house at 72.
Thats why people huddle together when it is freezing, so that they will lose heat slower, your body doesn't get warmer, it just feels warmer because you aren't losing as much heat.
Since the body regulates its own temperature at or near 98.6, you probably wouldn't get much hotter (maybe a fraction of a degree) but you would get a lot wetter (sweat) ;-)
If your body temperature gets much above 100 deg it can kill you, that is why it is so important to bring down a fever. Imagine what would happen if you stuck your hand into 197.2 (98.6 X 2) degree water, since you are talking deg F, water boils at 212 ... 197 isn't boiling, but it's darn close. Ever had burns & blisters all over your body after sex? Not unless you were having sex in a burning building!
soooo ...
Two people lying together doesn't increase your body temperatures (unless you aren't just lying there), it just helps you to lose heat slower. Tell hubby if he doesn't agree with you he can be replaced by a blanket! *lol*

No way. If you put two cups of coffee side by side, do they start to boil? You are mixing up heat and temperature. Both bodies are at 37 degrees C TEMPERATURE (I can't work in deg Fahrenheit). The amount of HEAT in the body is the product of its mass and its temperature, so although the heat content of the two bodies may be double, then so is the mass, therefore the temperature remains unchanged.

Maybe, in the intersection of the heat fields, the temp will be double.

Well, I did the math, and at 197.2 degrees, flames would be present. Have a lot of house fires, do you?

It increases, but not in mathematical proportions.
Learn latent heat for this.

Depends on the friction factor..

no
later there will be 3 people

98.6°*2 = 197.2°, which would be lethal.
