You Can Have Sex With Me if I'm in a Coma

Leah Johnson had a stroke in 2005 that left her comatose. David W. Johnson, her husband of 20 years, visited her every day moving her arms and legs to make sure her muscles didn’t atrophy.

On occasion Mr. Johnson would also climb into bed with Mrs. Johnson and have intercourse. The nursing home staff turned him in, thinking he was forcing himself on her. Police installed a hidden camera and video taped him having sex with his wife.

Mr. Johnson is 59 and Mrs. Johnson is 54. They had no children. Not sure why not having children was relevant, maybe the kids could have vouched for their parent’s sex life. “Yeah, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. They went at it all the time.” I don’t know.

His wife’s sister was even outraged that they would bring felony charges against her brother-in-law for sexual assault. She’s now in charge of her sister’s care until they can prove whether or not Mr. Johnson is a pervert.

Here’s the original story if you want to read it:

And here is the verdict:

So my question is what do we need to do to insure this doesn’t happen again? Along with a living will stating whether or not we wish to be put on life support and the disposal of our vital organs, do we now need to sign a sex waiver?

Yes, my husband can have sex with me even if I’m comatose. And if that is needed, do we also need to specify how often? Because we don’t want Mr. Johnson taking advantage here and getting nookie more often than Mrs. Johnson consented to while conscious. Only on his birthday and holidays, once a week, twice a week or maybe bring it on baby give me all you got.

If he was soliciting a prostitute or boinking his secretary while the Mrs. was out, we’d be bad mouthing him for that too. So am I to believe the police, who are more than likely men, expect Mr. Johnson to remain celibate for however long Mrs. Johnson is indisposed? She’s still in a coma, by the way.

It might be a bit trickier for a wife if her husband is comatose. I wonder if a man still gets aroused while in a coma? They usually wake up if they are asleep. Sorry, I was thinking out loud.

Here’s something else for you to toss around in your brain. Had they not been married would he have won the case? I bet not. It wouldn’t have fallen under conjugal visits. Sometimes that marriage license, so many call “Just a piece of paper” becomes pretty important.

So tell me, would you want conjugal visits if your significant other were comatose? Would you want someone making love to you if you were unconscious? Have you ever had sex with a comatose person?
