Bf touches me in his sleep wwyd?

[newusernameforthis]

I've been with my boyfriend almost a year, it's going well and honestly he has been a breath of fresh air since my ex was abusive emotionally and financially.

There's just one thing, to put it bluntly if he goes to sleep horny sometimes he ends up sort of groping me in the night when he's asleep, almost like trying to initiate sex.

In 10/11 months he has been so respectful and patient, never pushed or nagged for sex and just overall lovely, respectful of his family and mum and sister etc so I do think treats women well.

I truly believe he's asleep when it happens, it's the early hours and he's sometimes been snoring, it's usually a clumsy sort of movement not like if he was awake and when I move or roll him away he'll just continue sleeping!

Has anyone experienced anything like this? It's only happened a handful of times but I'm not sure whether to mention it as it seems like it's out of his control and honestly I think he would be mortified!

My partner occasionally does this too, he’s definitely asleep as you say it’s those clunky, clumsy movements. I usually just shuffle or push his hand off and tell him to stop which does the trick.

I’ll tell him in the morning about it & he has no memory of it. DP does a lot of sleep talking too especially if he’s stressed which can bring on the groping! Not sure if your partner sleep talks? Also not sure if it’s linked it’s just what I’ve noticed in the 8 years we’ve been together tbf.

Thanks all!! Reassuring to know it's not that unusual after all, if it happens again I will either wake him up and have a giggle or see if it goes anywhere if I respond depending on what mood I'm in
