It depends on the whole context, not just words spoken. Consent can be implicit and through actions. It doesn't have to be explicit and through words.
Remember that a hug too is an assault (perhaps even a sexual assault), if it is non-consensual. Yes, you can actually be sued and prosecuted for hugging someone non-consensually! What if the couple hadn't previously discussed hugging while sleeping?
I would say that, if you are in a sexual relationship with someone, the presumption has flipped. Ordinarily, the presumption is, you do not consent to sexual acts. In a sexual relationship, perhaps the presumption is that you do. If some random woman were to come up to me and to grab my bottom, clearly that would be a sexual assault. If my girlfriend were to do it, would it really be a sexual assault? Even if we hadn't discussed it, even if it had never happened before either way, I would say it couldn't be labelled a sexual assault. On the other hand, if I had said that she wasn't allowed to do that, then we could label it a sexual assault.
I agree consent can be given through actions but you can't give consent that way if you are unconscious. You're completely oblivious.
As in the person asleep is oblivious lol
No, you certainly can't give consent when you are sleeping. But, consent can be given in advance. And the question is, is there implicit consent in advance in the scenario you describe? I would say that there is. It is of course consent that you can withdraw. And my advice to anyone in a sexual relationship is to be open and honest about what you want and what you don't want. You're sharing an intimate space with someone who is passionate about you. It's a serious and powerful thing.
Well I think if they're partners and the relationship is ok, then they are having sex quite often either way. So they kind of consent. They don't do it repeatedly every time before sex, but there is this aura of trust. And I think this is the basis to wake your partner up with oral sex or so. I'm pretty sure he'll wake up quickly, and it will be clear if he/she doesn't like it. It's an attempt to pleasure the partner and do something nice for him, which he/she usually likes, just in a different setting.
I think if two people are in a relationship they know what is acceptable and what is not. I was with a guy for 9 years.. we would often wake each other up that way. Neither of us was in the slightet bit offended. Otherwise, we wouldn't have continued to do it.
Personlly, i enjoy a boyfriend waking me up that way. It excites me and turns me on. So it depends on their personal view about it!
A lot of people (male and female) have been sexually abused and this sort of thing should ALWAYS be talked about beforehand.
I definitely agree
yes I think so because u didn't ask permission to do so if u wanted to why don't they wake he or she up and ask permission
Exactly
yep that what I think

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!With all due respect, if a girl that I know has no STDS wants to suck my dick she can GONE RIGHT AHEAD. I'm not going to complain about it esp when we've already been fucking anyway. I mean what's the difference? In the end, I'm still getting sucked off
As long as she isn't going to try to trap me with a baby she can suck that mofo until I get #ED for all I care LOL
I chose #B
esp if*
I think if you don't agree, it's not ok. Though, with that said, if you are in couple with someone and it has never been discussed, I think it should be excused the first time, but be thoroughly discussed afterward. Sometimes, you just want to pleasantly surprise your partner and do things without necessarily thinking straight...
Yes, since there is no consent involved.
I think that if both are fine with it, it shouldn't be a problem... hopefully it would be a pleasant surprise for the person not expecting it :-)
By the way: your new haircut looks different Alex... and I see in your eyes you're hungry for a steak 8)
But I used to think guys would love it if a girl give woke them up with a bj. 😕
Most would I assure you. People just like to argue on the internet...
You are right.
Most would but at least ask them before you do.
Well, if you're going to assault your partner
This is the way to do it...
I don't know. People sometimes wake each other up by going down on them. Most people don't really have a problem with that. I think people should refrain from doing it if they aren't in a committed relationship. But I think it's fine if they've been together for awhile and trust each other.
Also love the dog pic.
Not if the other partner is ok with it. A few times my wife has suprised me, I have woken up a few mornings usually a birthday to find her riding me like sea biscuit. A few times she has woken up to find me on top of her and she was ok with it as was I.
I think it really depends on the relationship. I don't see how you could ever claim to love someone and then charge them with assualt for trying to pleasure you in your sleep.
If you've already become sexual and you are exclusive, I see no problem. Your partner is going to wake up and its not like you were forcing yourself on them. Worst case scenario, they initiate as such as you say no.
But it is force because the other person is unconscious. With this logic marital rape is okay because they're already in a sexual relationship
The partner will obviously wake up, and if he/she is not comfortable with it, they will stop it. No force involved. By your logic any initiation of sexual activity is assualt. If they say no, then no activity will take place, but there is no harm in initiating with someone you are already in a sexual relationship with.
Bill Cosby is that you?
Yes, because they can't consnt if the're not awke. duh.
You think it'd be obvious to everyone else wouldn't you... apparently not
Would you enjoy someone randomly showing up in a bar and started licking you?
No I certainly would not. There was a question the other day about a woman unconsciously hitting her boyfriend because he was performing oral sex on her while she was asleep and everybody told her to APOLOGISE! like wut
That is wrong on so many levels.
I wouldn't dare do that to you Alex!
Lol Robert 😂😂🙈
It won't be if you give him permission. And some couples are just comfortable that they know their partner will be fine with it.
Better to ask to make sure first.
My ex girlfriend used to encourage me to start having sex with her while she was asleep. It turned her on for some reason...
