I have never fallen asleep during sex. I have fallen asleep during conversations, during television shows, during classes, at my desk, on the floor of an airport, in various forms of transportation but never during any act of or leading up to sex.
At least with other people.
In part this may be due to lucky choice of partners. I lived with a guy who could fall asleep mid-sentence. Our bedroom was set up with the TV alongside the bed so we'd spoon to watch things. At some point he'd say, "I'm going to sleep now." As little as 30 seconds later something funny might happen on screen and I'd laugh and mention it to him only to find him absolutely dead asleep and unwakeable. It was like a circus trick...in the world's most boring circus.
I have punked out on myself, though. Once I actually get into bed I'm on a relatively tight schedule. If I go to sleep within 15 minutes or so I'll get the requisite 7+ hours sleep that keep me from being a monster. (I have a dog. I live alone. More than 8 hours of sleep are a thing of the past because I must do both the last walk of the night at 11pm and the first walk of the morning at 6:30 after my shower.) Sometimes I'll get a hankering and I'll think, "Well, you could just rub one out really quick before you go to sleep. You don't have to read a chapter of [insert name of intense, highbrow novel here to make me look good] tonight."
Here's the thing, though, don't you find that when you're tired there's no quick about it? I can't quite concentrate and then I'm moving slowly and the body isn't responding because, again, of the tired which means it's going to take longer and you're already lying down and Zzzzzzzzzzz. Only the light is shining in your face and your neck is all cricked up weird and you've got the outline of an erotic anthology imprinted on your right cheek.
Or is that just me?
No, really, is that just me? Have you ever fallen asleep and disappointed yourself or someone else? Misery loves company and this morning? I'm a little miserable.
time to out myself: i've fallen asleep while playing with his balls.
ReplyDeletemore than once.
Oh my god, I needed a laugh, thank you! Maybe he needs to spruce things up down there, install a tiki bar or serve ice cream or something. Apparently it's getting boring or old hat. :)
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, though, was he offended? Was it a whole honking deal you had to resolve?
Never fallen asleep unknowingly either by myself or with a partner. I've definitely had to bow out in the middle knowing I didn't have the energy to take things to completion though.
ReplyDeleteI've never really gotten the playing with his ball thing. And I've never been with anybody who needed me to. I'd probably fall asleep doing it too!
we both laughed it off. he's started calling them my "pacifier," though, and gives me the occasional rib poke over it.
ReplyDeletei think it's mostly because i'm more apt to play with them than anything else...i'm fascinated by them. he's the first partner i've had who actually ENJOYS having someone play with his balls, and i do so every opportunity i get.
definitely fallen asleep during the pre-show, which he's very very good at. sigh. he's philosophical about it but of course disappointed! it's if i'm just plain exhausted and it the must-sleep-now point arrives before i'm aroused enough. waking myself up by masturbating in my sleep? that's a nice but rare one :).
ReplyDeleteYes, i have fallen asleep in media res. Sometimes you're just tired. My husband has done so as well. So it goes. I have improved my record by keeping my eyes open more during the warm-up. I don't really masturbate at all, but if i did, it would probably put me to sleep on occasion as well.
ReplyDeleteI have never fallen asleep. I have on the other hand, had Chris place my hand on his dick and then promptly start snoring.
ReplyDeleteEx Him, on more than one occasion, fell asleep while he was going down on me.
ReplyDeleteat'sa real ego boost.
