Do you feel someone having sex with their spouse while they're asleep, is essentially rape?

He said "he wanted to see if he could do it without waking her up", he also thought it would be "funny". So, do you believe if a spouse has sex with their spouse while they are fast asleep, that it could essentially be defined as rape (since they are not awake to give consent)? What do you think?

    Otherwise it's not okay.
