Female, straight. I can sleep through smoke alarms and earthquakes. But hey, knock yourself out. If you can wake me up, I’m game.
Female, straight-ish, only if I get to go back to sleep again after (i.e. no on weekdays, yes on weekends, generally).
[naive]I thought all guys were morning wood guys?[/naive]
I generally try to not do this because nobody likes a pissy English teacher, but please, folks, let’s use “awakened” as the simple past tense unless we’re using the past participle, OK? “Woken” as an active voice past participle works only if you’re actually using it more as an adjective than as a verb. (OED)
Bottom line: In the contexts it’s being used here, it’s “awakened,” not “woken.”
Yep, me too. And not all the time. This should be an occasional thing, IMO, not our “MO”.
I think that’s true, except after a certain age for most men. For the record, I’m still young-ish and get morning wood. But for me at least, having an erection doesn’t necessarily mean I’m aroused and not having one doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not. (Was that TMI?)
So um… “Awakened up”?
No, dearie, just “awakened.” As in, “Do you like to be awakened for sex?” The whole “up” thing is unnecessary.
Actually, in context, it’s very necessary.
Female, straight, married
I prefer to be there when I’m having sex, so no, don’t wake me up. I don’t get going on normal days until at least late morning (no matter what time I actually get up), and I hate to be bothered when I’m not ready to wake up.
Male, heterosexual, early twenties. I hate being woken up and it had better be damned important if you do. My girlfriend had the habit of waking me up every morning two hours before I wake up because she was bored. It took four months of my grumpy ass mumbling bad words at her for her to leave me alone.
Female, straight, married, and usually quite happy about it.
Gay Male Love being woken up for/by sex
Did you miss the part where the OP mentioned sex?
Male, straight, and wake me up for sex every freakin’ time, pun totally intended!
Straight (most days) female (every day).
If it’s someone I’m really intimate with, like my SO, nice.
When I was living with him, wake up sex (and a cup of tea) was pretty much a reqirement. And I liked it .
I’d say if he really wants it I’d say waking up to someone kissing you and generally molesting you is a nice way to wake up. Penatration calls for some kind of permission.
Female, straight.
I like the idea a lot in theory. In practice, well, may I just say that I did not manage to keep that punch in the dream world the first time my now-husband tried it. Er. I did not remember it at all upon reaching consciousness but he sure did.
He has not tried again. Can’t blame him really, I gather I took a swing at him with a lamp.
I love being awakened to kisses and caresses when I’m all warm and half asleep.
Female, straight in a mostly committed relationship but we do not live together. He sleeps over once or twice a week. He has learned not to wake me up or try to keep me awake if I wake up in the middle of the night. I think he finally learned after I elbowed him really hard once while I was sleeping. I really was sleeping, too, and unaware of it he told me about it later. So don’t wake me up.
Although, now I have the opposite problem, now he lets me sleep in too long on our days off. He gets up early, lets the dog out and feeds the cats so they can’t wake me up. So if we do things once I finally do wake up we’ve spent half the day in bed. I also usually have a headache from caffeine withdrawal when I sleep too late so we need to find a happy medium on the waking up thing.
Female - straight - married
Yep, wake me up, but only early morning. Please don’t even try if I’ve only been asleep for a couple of hours or you may draw back a nub.
DH is happy to be woken up ANYTIME, which is convenient because he goes to bed before I do and if I get frisky before dozing off to sleep myself he’s happy to accommodate!
It hasn’t come up for me yet, but I like the idea of it. In reality I know I’m so far from being a morning person that I can become angry if someone or something wakes me up too early for anything.
Cats have been kicked violently from my bed (though they don’t seem to mind, honestly), blinds and windows are slammed shut, heavy books are chucked at doors if cats are scratching at them. There’s much grumbling to be had when I’m half-asleep and grumpy. I’m not proud of it, but hey that’s why I live alone.
ETA: I DO like morning sex, however. Let’s just wait 'til I wake up naturally and we maybe snuggle 'n talk for a bit. Now I’m curious how my new boyfriend feels about waking for sex.
Female/straight
We basically have a rule that each of us is entitled to the nookie, regardless of whether one partner happens to be asleep. Considering we work opposite schedules, we’d only manage about once a week otherwise.
However, the expectations are pretty low, it’s all about just accomodating the awake one, passive reception counts as all good and brevity is welcomed. Just courtesy, really, considering the very real lost sleepy time factor.
I have discussed this very thing with my circle of girlfriends, all of whom have been married/long term longer than me, and they’re horrified that my man might brag to theirs and this will be expected of them.
