I have, in fact, though not before my earlier post. My point still stands. Your question is not simply absurd, but also prurient , stupid, offensive, implicitly misogynistic, and overall indicatie of a need for electroshock.

For those interested, I’ve made a formal apology [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18384973&postcount=17).

Sorry for my offensive OP, and my subsequent defensiveness afterwords. I’ll make it a point to do better in the future.

Also, I’ve seen this before, and there’s a hugely important difference.

Waking up a partner with sex–especially oral sex–is done with the intent and expectation of giving the recipient a delightful surprise. It’s extraordinarily unlikely someone would continue the act for their own personal pleasure if the recipient remained unresponsive. The expectation is that the recipient will wake up soon into the process and be appreciative and enthusiastic. Someone who completed oral sex on an unresponsive partner, for their own pleasure, would be incredibly creepy.

Continuing to have sex with a partner who went unconscious is a purely selfish act. It’s done for the perpetrator’s pleasure in complete disregard for the recipient’s pleasure. There’s no expectation that the recipient will at any point be happy about the proceedings.

The first one is somewhat risky behavior: you better know your partner won’t freak out. The second one is selfish asshole behavior: you better hope your partner won’t press charges.

Yes, I don’t understand the hesitancy.

No, actually, I do understand, but, still, I believe the OP’s question does raise an interesting conundrum, and it can go in any direction gender-wise: what if your spouse tells you, before the fact, _“honey, as you know, I’m prone to getting drunk and passing out at the drop of a hat. I know you have a high libido. You have my blessing to ravage my unconscious body to your hearts content in the event I’m passed out, and you’re horny. In fact, it will turn me on to hear about your exploits the following morning."_

Still rape? Still something reprehensible? Why, or why not?

Actually, this is very close to a hypothetical I was thinking of posting myself a while back: What if you found your “soul-mate” and he, or she, likewise believed they found their “soul-mate” in you—with every important marriage criteria, except for one: one future-spouse likes sex; the other abhors it.

But, the future spouse who abhors sex has a magical ability: he or she can, at will, become a zombie, and engage in sex indistinguishable to a non-zombie, but in actuality be completely non-conscious of the sexual act.

The zombie-enabled future spouse tells the other: _“I love you. I know you love me. I know you want sex, but I can’t stand it. I don’t want that single criterion to ruin our prospects for a happy marriage. When you want sex, I’ll turn my consciousness off. In essence you will be having sex with a decerebrate, but you won’t know the difference because my body responds to sexual arousal autonomically, and you will have my blessing to proceed."_

Questions: would you marry your “soul mate” under this condition? Would you have sex with him or her? Would you enjoy it?

If I’m willing to do her at all when she’s in such a condition that she might pass out mid-coitus, I ain’t gonna let that eventuality stop me.

I think your hypothetical, as posed, is so completely outlandish, as to be dismissed out of hand as overthinking a very niche situation (i.e. none that may ever exist).

Nope, and I said so to GrumpyBunny:_And in this case, since you as partners know, understand and are both good with it, it’s not a issue._

but as I also said:

_But the rest of us are thinking of a unknown and unplanned passing out. No way does any sane person continue on._

You pass out when you find your GF/wife mid-coitus. Does she finish?

OK, now this: what do you do if your wife passes out during sex, then your friend’s daughter comes storming in and tries to have her way with you?

No, not rape. That is an adult discussing acceptable boundaries with his/her partner.

People should do more of that.
