What is somnophillia?

Somnophilia is a paraphilic disorder characterized by a paraphilic sexual attraction to sleeping or unconscious individuals. People with somnophilia may become sexually aroused by the idea of having sexual contact with someone who is asleep or unconscious.

This paraphilic disorder is considered both unethical and illegal, as it involves non-consensual sexual activity. It is important to note that engaging in any type of sexual activity with a person who is asleep or unconscious without their explicit consent is a form of sexual assault.

Treatment for somnophilia typically involves psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other interventions aimed at addressing the underlying issues that contribute to this paraphilic disorder. It is important for individuals with somnophilia to seek help from a mental health professional to address their problematic and harmful behaviors.
