Looks like I'm in power once again
i found this interesting because you see yourself as being 'in power' if i'm asleep. does that mean when i'm awake you feel powerless?
this kinda answers my question over whether you acknowledge how extremely intelligent i am (more than most men i come across) ;)
Somnophilia (from Latin somnus "sleep" and Greek φιλία, -philia "friendship") is a paraphilia in which an individual becomes sexually aroused by someone who is unconscious. The Dictionary of Psychology categorized somnophilia within the classification of predatory paraphilias.
Psychology Today: Somnophilia: When Sleeping Is Sexy (it goes downhill).
In a case study of a man with somnophilia published by Swiss psychiatrist Francesco Bianchi-Demicheli and his colleagues in 2010, a link was made between this paraphilia and a childhood brain injury.
Jim, a 34-year-old man, arrived at an emergency psychiatric unit after physically assaulting his wife. His relationship with his wife had been strained for several years because over time he had developed "a particular and progressive sexual deviant behaviour": He felt sexually aroused by sleeping women, and liked to attend to their hands and nails while they slept and give them a manicure.
During the initial years of his marriage, he was able to control these fantasies but, the case study reports, "over the years he lost control of his sexual urges" and acted on them. Initially, Jim’s wife agreed to use sleeping pills to fulfill his desires, but she later refused to "bend to [the] man’s freakish will." That’s when he began to secretly administer benzodiazepines—minor tranquillisers typically prescribed to relieve anxiety and insomnia—to her.
When Jim’s wife discovered what he had been doing, their conflict began. It all came to a dramatic head when Jim "disguised himself with a latex mask and attacked his wife as she returned from work," using a capsicum spray to subdue her. His wife managed to pull off his mask, then ran out of the house and called the police.
The results of the psychiatric examination and routine laboratory tests were all normal. The only medical history of note was a traumatic brain injury Jim had suffered aged 10, after which he was reportedly in a coma for four days.
It doesn’t say how he sustained this injury, but an MRI brain scan showed that it caused damage to his right frontal and parietal regions, specifically "moderate atrophy in the frontoparietal region with a diffuse and severe white matter injury compatible with his previous head trauma." A neuropsychological assessment was said to show "moderate dysexecutive syndrome," which means he did not do so well on the tasks that examine frontal lobe functions, such as response control.
The frontal lobes control a complex array of social and emotional functions, but what do the parietal lobes do? They process sensory data that enable us to understand spatial information, including where our body is in space—in other words, "body awareness."
People with parietal lobe damage can have abnormalities in how they perceive their bodies, which is exactly what Jim showed: He had a fascinating and very specific body disorder characterized by an incomplete mental image of his hands, mostly the right, called "personal representational hemineglect." This was determined by the way he drew a picture of himself.
The authors concluded that Jim’s paraphilia "might be related to his disturbed body image and more specifically to the incomplete hands representation … presumably, the occurrence of head trauma might have played a critical role in the development of his sexual self and body image."
I’ve read many fascinating case studies about sex and the brain when doing research for my book Sex in the Brain, but this particular case was the only one that made me say "wow" out loud to my empty office.
Shit's crazy.

I feel more empowered when you're asleep. It would be arrogant for anyone to assume another isn't anymore powerful over people who are asleep.
While you're awake all vitals are operating normally. Nothing to worry about. It's just easier to draw a mustache on your face while you're out cold and vulnerable.
*tony walks over to the bed, his shadow illuminated in the moonlight. the silence, interrupted only by the nocturnal crickets, makes it feel like they are the only two awake in the world right now. he turns the slender dark figure over as it sleeps, the bouncing brunette curls covering her eyes.
long, seductive lashes begin to stir, and her brows furrow in confusion as she slowly wakes. suddenly, she is alert to the large figure next to the bed. she pulls him by his shirt collar, and lifts his fedora only slightly, in a playful manner.
tony is unable to control his desires, and he grabs nathan by the waist and engages him in a steamy passionate kiss. nathan is feeling naughty, and bites tony's lip, almost hard enough to break the skin.
tony grunts and penetrates nathans mouth with his tongue, 'mm, daddy g' nathan moans, as he wraps his legs around tony's torso*
