Somnophilia
Somnophilia (from Latin "somnus" = sleep and Greek φιλία, "-philia" = friendship), also known as sleeping princess syndrome and sleeping beauty syndrome, is a paraphilia in which an individual becomes sexually aroused by someone who is unconscious. Sexology scholar John Money stated that the condition has a high degree of correlation throughout history with incest and may progress to necrophilia. The Dictionary of Psychology categorized somnophilia within the classification of predatory paraphilias.

Somnophilia
Somnophilia is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal or orgasm are intruded on a sleeping person by having sexual contact with them. Some signs or symptoms that may point to Somnophilia include recurring thoughts regarding unconscious or sleeping persons and feeling sexual urges when in contact with or in the proximity of said individuals. There are possible treatments of somnophilia such as hypnosis, behavioral therapy and 12 step programs designed to terminate the behavior. While treatment is available, a somnophiliac may not seek it unless the behavior becomes destructive, problematic, or becomes a legal issue, which it is the latter - no consent is given to sexual act in the majority of cases and falls under sexual crimes legislation.
