Also recounted was the time that we first slept together and I pulled her hand onto my erection, again while asleep. It puzzles me that I’m this forward in my sleep and I was wondering if it was some sort of lust I dare not express while awake or if anyone else did this.

Dude, whatever you do, don’t ever fall asleep on an airplane.

Heh. My husband knows that I like the “wake me up with sex” sex, so quite often I find myself being woken up. I do sleep-walk on occasion, sleep talk a lot and have been known to do many other things while sleeping, but sex wakes me up everytime.
Funny thing is, though, sometimes my husband will begin his usual “start rubbing until she purrs” invitation to sex and then snore. It’s hilarious. He will actually be trying to get laid in his snore-deep sleep. Of course, a snore turns me off in a heartbeat, but I wonder how many times he woke me up for sex while being asleep himself…

Does falling asleep while giving a Leno handjob count?
[/QUOTE]
Woah, woah, wait a minute. Do you mean a handjob while Leno is on, or something else entirely? I’m entirely grossed out by one possible interpretation. :eek:

Maybe it’s getting a handjob from a member of the studio audience.

I imagine the chin is involved somehow, but I _ **do not** _ want to know how. :eek:

Apparently, yes. Although, more often it’s of the “wake up in the middle of the night with an Urge that will Not Be Ignored” variety. Fortunately, my wife doesn’t mind, because it leads to some really great sex.
As a result of this, while I couldn’t tell you the exact _day_ on which my two-week-old daughter was conceived, I can tell you the _time_: 1 AM. Somehow, that’s always when I get those urges…

Well, I could’ve told you _that_. The lass was English, right? There you go.

I don’t believe that for one hot second. You are this decade’s Tyler Durden with a ladle.
You know you’ll never live that thread down, right? 😃

America is dying to know! What is a Leno handjob? Is the chin involved, as some observers have speculated?

Or in the breakroom at work!

This is why I don’t want anyone else in my bed, ever. If a sleep-sexer put the moves on me, it would not only wake me (I’m a very light sleeper) but freak me the hell out.

OK, just curious; are any of you Sleeping Randies using Ambien? [Plenty](http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/08/business/08ambien.html?ex=1299474000&en=17cf99894f297014&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss) of [press](http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/15/earlyshow/health/health_news/main1404632.shtml) about sleep-driving and sleep-eating with it; I can add my own stories (with mr.emilyforce’s help) of sleep-cooking and sleep-cleaning under that particular influence. With no prior history of sleep-verbing of any kind.

**Hal** , you are my new hero. I can’t stop laughing. Just cannot. My face hurts, and my stomach hurts, and I can barely type, but I can’t stop laughing…
The timing on that… perfection. I doff my hat to you, sir. 😃😃

I noticed yesterday at lunchtime that this is actually a Cover Article in one of the current Women’s Magazines, but I can’t recall which one.
And, for the record, this has never happened to me, as giver or receiver. Although Pepper Mill _will_ punch me in her sleep if I’m snoring too much.
