9. Would spooning someone be considered assault?

To put your arm around someone while they are sleeping or cuddling up behind them is often said by many women to be a spontaneous and enjoyable sign of a man's true romantic feelings for them. Should the enjoyment of that surprise be spoiled by saying "Hey honey, at about 3AM I plan to cuddle you while you sleep....is that ok?"

I'm just trying to find where the line should be placed. Such things are part of the romantic bond between lovers, the same as leaning into someone for that first kiss....instead of asking permission.
