Looks a bit big to make me happy in my sleeping environment.

That spider is a Brown Recluse, which has a bite best described as positively horrible (google brown recluse bite pictures, and brace yourself). Because of the violin pattern on its back, it's known as a 'fiddler'. Charlie Daniels is a well-known American fiddle player/singer. You may have heard his most famous song, The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

We (Clan Gravdigr) refer to brown recluse spiders as Charlie Daniels Spiders, trying to find humor in a nightmare.

Given your self-described proclivities towards men of a husky nature, you may find Mr. Daniels to have been a beautiful creature himself.
