  • Most of the women I've dated in the last 25 years have specifically said that they wanted and expected me to consider their bodies as fair game at any time - but I tend to date submissive women that want that kind of attention (and they still explicitly gave me consent). A couple of them specifically said (paraphrasing) "don't do stuff like that while I'm asleep - but wake me up and you're good to go." So, for them, they're specifically NOT giving consent for that while they're asleep (even though they're totally fine if they're awake).

    The point of this is that you have to actually discuss these things and find out what your partner is comfortable with. You shouldn't just assume, because people are different.

  • It seems most re assuming a relationship exist between the man and woman. It this case it seems unimportant. Now If the baseline was any woman in any situation outside of a relationship with a man - ( Like say a group of friends sleeping in the same house - or on a joint trip to someplace. A drunk girl at a party that went to bed to sleep it off and one of the men there cam into her room to finger her wile she was out. In any of these cases, even if the girl woke up and enjoyed the experience it would be sexual assault, but one that may never be reported. In the end it is how the girl that was fingred felt about it, even if she never told anyone.

  • Not sure. Never had it happen. To me. But I swear g@g can turn anything in to a fear factor😬. But I mean if they are married I like to think eh I don't know. Who knows anymore.

    The guy I am dating snuggled up next to me Saturday night while I'll slept and rub my legs and other expose parts etc but I didn't feel violated. he was just trying to get some and I found it cute but now I wonder 😕. next time ill say... dude this might be rapey activity. Be nice to see his response and face at 3am in the morning 😂.

    Honest all jokes aside. I don't know.

    • Hm, never happened with my as well.

  • With my partner, we've talked about it beforehand. I gave consent that he can do anything he wants sexually to me while I sleep. Same with him as well. So I'd say, you guys should talk about it beforehand to make sure you are both on the same page. You still need consent even if you are a couple.

  • Without consent, yes!

  • Sexual assault is harming someone is sexual way either with body or mind or emotion. If they have agreed that he can play with her body when she is sleeping without disturbing him OR he is so aroused and turned on by her shape - he does it with the love and affection with a tiny dose of lust, not with the mean of hurting her or causing troubles - then I think that is OK.

    We all cuddle up with our partner when she is asleep of put our hands on her boobs or ass in sleep. Did it also rape or sexual assault. It may be possible if you have brought her with just a fuck with no string attached. If you are in each other - she wouldn't mind some flirt overnight.

  • well with consent, yeah it’s totally fine. but without it, ehh maybe not because unless it’s been discussed it could freak a woman out. personally i think it’s hot, and have said this to my man but he thinks it’s assault no matter what i say. doesn’t make him comfortable if i’m not aware at first. understandable but i’m asking him for it!!! lol

    • My man also dosent do it. He says he isn't comfortable. He said i can play with your boobs or bum but can't really finger in.

  • I voted can't say because it depends. Your example talks about being married. When I was married we agreed that we were both ok with the other doing sexual things to us while we were sleeping if they wanted too, so in that situation, no. If it is not agreed upon it may very well be sexual assault, it is a very grey area when married because say you are sleeping together naked. Then you cocks and pussies etc may be touching without consent before it happens, just as an example. There may be something in that situation like "implied consent" Outside of those examples or similar I would say it would definitely be sexual assualt

  • It is unless you have some sort of agreement beforehand that allows it.

    Technically a wake up blow job would also fit in that category.

  • If it was an unwanted assault on you, then yes it would be.

  • If you haven't discussed circumstances yes. I tell my partner he can start without and I will catch up and they say just mount me and I'll the deed with you.

  • No consent is given, that's not okay, I have not even been in any sort of relationship, but if I was, this would be a deal-breaker 100%.

  • Nobody should touch someone’s genitals while they’re sleeping without talking about it. SO MANY boys and girls are sexually abused and it’s good courtesy to respect even your partner’s boundaries. It’s their life, their history, their body.

  • Is stroking a guys dick in his sleep considered assault?

  • It depends on the relationship and the woman. If you're in a committed relationship and you do it and she wakes up like what the fuck, and you attempt it again, then yes

    • Fair enough.

  • I'd say it's assault unless it's something agreed.
    Personally I wouldn't object to being woken up to a blow job!

  • Well it depends on what stage of ur relationship you are and how open have u been on sexual life before. I would say its normal, if you guys have regular sex and its usual for both of you to get into sexual action. It would be an assault if you have not gone that far before, or it was just once and you guys have not considered it a new normal. Like, initial stage of relation where you just have kissed or.. first base kind..

  • If in a realtionship it should be talked about before being done. Like if awake her said it was ok then it's all good to. But not just randomly.

  • Any non-consensual type of sex is assault.

  • I've actually told my man to give it to me whenever he wants it. I also gave him permission to wake me up for sexy time. I love keeping him satisfied at all times. In turn, whenever I want it I can also just take it. 💗💗💗

    • Lovely.

  • It depends on the norms in the relationship. If free access to each other's bodies is understood within the relationship, then feeling him/her is OK. If free access is not part of the relationship, then it's not OK. I've known women who say they love being woken up by their guy playing with them. I also know women who would not like it.

  • I don't know why people find questions about assault and rape hard did one person say no and you did it anyway it's rape or assault, if the person is conscious to say yes and you do it anyway it rape or assault

    • Isn't*

  • If she’s okay with it it’s fine. Regularly fingering someone without their knowledge is sexual assault otherwise.

  • If it wasn't agreed to ahead of time or she says to stop, yes.
