See, that’s the reason Lesbian Bed Death is a thing. You girls just aren’t giving it your all.

I picked Other, because there was no option that said “one or two pumps is more than is usually involved so it doesn’t really matter”.

**Your GF/Wife passes out during mid coitus: D you finish?**

My problem was that my ex’s stone cold passed out persona and her fully engaged in sex persona were exactly the same and I wasn’t interested in either one.

No way this could apply to me, I never have sex in pumps.

Bloke here. If I was having fun fooling around with a woman, of course I’d stop. Having fun, fooling around with a woman, is something you do with a concious woman.

But 3 or 4 pumps from completion? At that point, I’m not fooling around: I’m an out-of-control locomotive, and it’s gonna take superman to stop me. If my brain was in control, yes, I’d stop. But it’s not my brain, and it’s done far stupider things than that before.

If continuing after she falls asleep for a few seconds (in this scenario where she’s your wife or long-time girlfriend) is rape, then continuing when she is AWAKE, without asking every three or four seconds, if you have her consent to continue to have sex with her could be considered rape.

In other words, we’re on the edge of absurd.

I can’t help but think of a joke I once heard about what things may have been of the Rolling Stones were Scottish.

Instead of “Hey, youm get off of my cloud” we’d have "Hey, MacCleod, get off of my ewe!

(sorry)

It would be a total squick for my wife to pass out mid-coitus. A real mood killer. I’d (perforce) quit immediately.

If she did it frequently, I’m sure it would be a problem that needed to be addressed medically.

Here’s another way to think of this.

I trust my wife when I’m asleep and she’s awake. I trust her to make medical decisions for me when I’m under anesthesia. I trust her to go through my stuff, and have access to my bank account. And vice versa.

I think she’d trust me in this situation.

So if this question is about consent, it’s a no-brainer.

After reading a few posts in your '15 year old girl ’ thread and the first page of this thread. Here is what I’m thinking , you need to stop having hypothetical. sex , let go of the mouse, push away from the key board , get dressed , wash your hand ,find your wallet . Go out and find a ’ for hire ’ new friend . After just one for 'real 'time , that hypothetical. sex just can’t cut the mustard ,

I approach it from the same way: If I’m in a relationship that’s progressed to the point of being sexual, I’m being trusted to exercise some normal, reasonable judgment in the best interests of my partner, which includes looking after their health in the case of what could be an emergency situation. Frankly, pumping away on someone who’s suddenly no longer conscious is the exact opposite of that level of care.

It would be possible to convince me that she really and truly wasn’t in any kind of danger, at which point it’s just a matter of her consent and my mood. In that case it’s a solid “maybe”, but probably not.

I’m a guy; no. If she’s unconscious, something might be seriously wrong. In any event she’s no longer able to give consent.
