Somnophillia: in which an individual becomes sexually aroused by someone who is asleep or unconscious.

A little of this...
Me trying to like this list repeatedly 😈 
waiting for this to happen to me like:
Everything I tried to respond to this with sounded like a threat 🫠
oh yeah??? 😏
i sure hope there aren’t any bugs that bite >:))))
For somnophilia, definitely throw in Morgan B Lee’s Cursed Legacies series, starting with Blood Oath. Nightmare Prince gets up to some nasty sleep shenanigans inside and outside the FMC’s dreams 🐱🍽️💦
Also, if you want some erotic insomniac horror, you can let Sleep Study by Magnus Thorne slither into this list. Might not quite fit the brief, but wanted to share anyway. 😏
👀
you know im surprised this hasnt been made into a list until now! 🙂↕️🙂↕️
There are some A.R Taboo that has them but i don't recall which ones aside from Feral Mate 🙂↕️
Technically Haunting Adeline by H.D Carlton uhh i think Eclipse of the Crown (Book 3) by A.K Caggiano
and dont hate me... Keeping Her Under by Miranda Grant (not that I have read it...yet)
Oh dang that Keeping her Under is DARK!
Where would one find books by AR Taboo exactly?
cough cough cough i had to do some digging into the land southern seas where i met pirates there
Dead of Summer by AJ Merlin has somnophilia. Didn’t really like this book though 🥲
Fair. I don’t add books that I hated either
Omg I forgot about this book!! Yeah I didnt like it either, I’m surprised it has the rating that it does lol I wanna say something but don’t want to give anything away. 😬😅
Yeah same! I feel like it had potential and there were even a few things I liked but overall it was just disappointing.
Like the whole reason he showed up??? And the fmc stILL FELL FOR HIM HELLO??? R U WELL??? We’re just supposed to forget what he was originally planning to do? 😭 And then the random villain at the end? Like you said there were some good moments, but the bad def out weighed the good.
Oh yeah it was definitely more bad than good! I could go on a whole rant about that lol
Yooooo as an uber-tired-eldest-daughter-elder-millenial SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!! 😴🛏💕🥵
Ah yes you can?? Hello 😭🫶
This is how I know I’m in the right place when I see this list and all comments are people I follow 🤭
Unhinged by Onley James have some light somno
You know what I read this but couldn't quite remember if it was in there...Thank you!
YW 💙
Love me some somnooooo and I haven't read nearly enough of it! I've been slowly adding to my kink: somnophilia 💤 shelf and you're more than welcome to pull from it for your list. c:
Whoa! I just checked out your shelves. Thank you- they’re beautiful!
Don’t mind if I do
Idk how I missed this list until now. If you’re still adding, here are some with heavier somnophilia /parasomnia: Arran’s Obsession by Jolie Vines Connor’s Claim by Jolie Vines (Riordan’s Revenge has only 1 scene, so. Naturally not my fave of that series.)
Lords of Pain by Angel Lawson (i believe all 3 in the series)
Used by the Headmaster by Flora Foxglove (sex parasomnia is the whole premise)
Revelations by Rebecca Rathe
Always adding!
I have a shelf, but haven’t read all the books in that one. I kinda put them in holding until i read and confirm at least one scene lol
Yes you may interest me in this
which one of these is someone being put to sleep because they're fatigued & burntout and then getting a lil bonus something ... i might be a lil interested 👀
I would say Primal Urges! She’s an overworked lawyer who just needs a break and he’s the computer hacker virgin who’s obsessed with her
somehow i have an addition for you: Shut The F^ck Up And Take This D^ck Like A Good Girl.
Wow this book is really racking up the kinks and crazy huh 😆
A little bit of this, a little bit of that 👌
very much so.
Family Affair by D. Dove fits.
Great list 👀 I'd say Catcher's Lock would fit, no? Also Wicked Little Darling by Lyla Dane, for parasomnia
Oh yes! Good catch 😉
Added so newbies to the sleepytime team
Thank you @acloudofbats for all your hole diving
