Read other letters about this article
When I started to read this article, it was the idea of the boyfriend having a different personality at night that attracted me. I had one of those myself, once.
I, too, dated a guy I thought of as the "sleepfucker." He wasn't all that bad conscious, but he was inhibited in some ways (didn't like giving oral sex). But at least twice a week, I would wake up in the middle of the night to find his face in my crotch, going to town. We would progress to intercourse from there, and he'd usually wake up somewhere in the middle. Invariably, he'd ask me how "that" started. Eventually, I referred to it as "Chester the Molester came out again." Sleepwalking, I'd heard of--but this was something new.
So I was intrigued that maybe someone had had a similar experience--only to find that theirs was the result of bad drug/alcohol juju. No drugs or alcohol were involved in my experience with Chester. Freaky.
The sad part was, he was better asleep than awake.
