Sexsomniacs
“In the middle of the night, my normally respectful and mild-mannered husband becomes a wild animal — I often awake to him pawing me and talking dirty in Italian, his native language. While he’s sleeping, we have full-blown intercourse (seamlessly switching positions during the act) and give and receive oral sex, and when we’re finished, Leo simply fades into a peaceful slumber. And the next morning, he has no recollection of our sexual encounter. … Most of the time, I prefer Leo’s sexsomnia to the sex we have when he’s awake, although I wouldn’t tell him that. “
— And yet there is “also something unsettling” about being ravished by an unconscious person.
