Somnophilia
Somnophilia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Somnophilia (from Latin 'somnus' = sleep and Greek f???a, '-philia' = love), or sleeping princess syndrome[1] or Sleeping Beauty syndrome[2], is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal and/or orgasm are stimulated by intruding on and awakening a sleeping person with erotic caresses, but not with force or violence.[1][3] The eye-rolling before fainting may also cause arousal. Somnophilia may also refer to having sex with a sleeping partner or rubbing against the body with the private parts or hands. There is no literal term for the reciprocal paraphilic condition of being the recipient, which more often occurs in fantasy than in reality.

I haven't been able to find a way to make him stop, and it has completely ruined our sexlife. I have (PTSD) post traumatic stress disorder, from an insident that happened 8 years ago.. I was drugged and woke up to being raped! (I did councelling, and have had good sexual relationships since this event. But now I find it to be increasingly difficult to be intimate, since I got married) I have even told him that his actions are causing me to start having flashbacks again and PTSD attacks. His reply? You shouldn't be having that, because it's different then what happened to you. I'm your husband and I'm allowed to. I'm not doing anything wrong!

 Watching you sleep is one thing, but if he tries to have sex with you while you're asleep (I agree that would be rape) or he tries to wake you up to have sex, that is ABUSE.

 I had a relationship with the same kind of situation, He would wake me up feeling me sexually and rubing on me and I would just tell him to leave me alone and he would or I would except his advances and have great sex. I felt he just was that into me that he wanted me all the time and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, although he never looked at me with a flashlight -- that is a little scary. Have you ever given in to him and give him what he wants? Maybe once the conquest is finalized he will leave you alone, but only do what you feel comfortable doing.

I suppose its a bit different though when a guy does it to a girl.. So much for equality of the sexes.
My point being, you could turn it into something creepy and weird that people on this site can ooh and ahh about, and make him feel bad about it, or you can just accept the fact that your husband is horny and do something to remedy that. Hubby is young..his sex drive is in overdrive.
Good luck with it.

 If he has intercourse with you while you are sleeping, that is considered rape. Just FYI.

 Well the watching you sleep itself ain't all that odd. The messing with... that is. Why is he doing it? He wants more sex then you give during waking hours or is it that he wants sex while you are asleep and the being asleep is the thrill bit?
There is a fetish on that subject, might it be something he is into? It could of course be that he is trying to do something you won't allow when you are awake but that seems unlikely.
However, the question of wether it is odd or not is countered by the fact that it makes you uncomfortable. Sex is a two way street and partners got to meet each other in the middle.
If this is of limits to you, make it clear. You have and he doesn't seem to understand that you say. Unless he is mentally backwards, I think that really means he doesn't care/doesn't respect your opinion.
Make of that what you will.

But I really don't know what he's doing, you didn't specify..If he's just looking at you, in my opinion, that is not a bad thing.

 I know i love to look at my husband when he sleeps, he is just so ridiculously adorable, but then what? He's asleep and so i go to sleep or go do something else because sitting there staring at him all night would be a little creepy. I think we all like to se our significant others asleep sometimes because its not something we're used to, perhaps, and its special, just between you both, but it sounds like your husband has taken it to a whole other level!You sound like you really need to talk to him about it again - if it has gotten so bad that he is disturbing your sleep, wierding you out, sitting there with a flashlight???? it sounds like he has a little bit of either a fetish or an obsession going on and if he cant talk to you about it then this is really going to be unhealthy for your relationship - especially if it has gotten to the point that you feel so uncomfortable about it that you're asking if it is ok - bottom line is, if you are not happy, it is not ok. He needs to understand that and he needs to try and stop i - maybe sleeping on the couch is making him worse because now its become something forbidden??? Either try to talk to him again, or get a lock on your bedroom door - not a great idea for a marriage to survive bu if he cant keep himself to himself while you sleep then you are not going to last a lot longer as you get less sleep and more peeved at the situation.Perhaps he needs to talk to someone professionally??Whatever it is, i really hope for your sake that you find a answer that helps.Best of luckxxxxxx

I think it is an extreme violation actually, that he thinks it's ok to "mess with you" while you are actually asleep and have no chance to offer any consent. I think you should put a lock on the bedroom door and then make him sleep on the couch. It's disgraceful behaviour- especially as you have told him on more than one occasion that you don't like what he is doing. If he doesn't stop I would threaten to move out. I would hate to have to worry about that sort of thing everytime I went to bed.
