Another definition I came across says that somnophilia also includes having sex with someone while they are unconscious. For instance, some definitions of somnophilia say that it refers to actually having sexual intercourse with a sleeping partner (rather than just touching someone sexually while they are asleep). However, some definitions of somnophilia – while all connected with sleep – sometimes slightly differ. Somnophilia is a sexual paraphilia in which sexual arousal is derived from intruding on, caressing, and/or fondling someone (typically a stranger) while they are asleep without force or violence.
