Dr Susan Block has a theory of what Bill Cosby's problem is. He has a sleep fetish.
As a sex therapist in private practice, I’ve treated
many clients with sleep fetishes of various kinds. The clinical term is
“somnophilia,” a paraphilia in which sexual arousal arises from fondling
or having sex with someone who is asleep or unconscious. A more
romantic name for it is the “Sleeping Beauty” syndrome. The fairy tale
fantasy of an exquisitely beautiful, utterly helpless princess in a
deep, hypnotic, erotic sleep that only awakens, with the climactic kiss
of a charming prince, has captured imaginations and titillated libidos
for centuries of civilized human history. If Prince Charming had given
Beauty a roofie and then done his kissing and maybe a little fondling,
he’d be a nonconsensual sleep fetishist, a.k.a., a sleep rapist. Not so
charming any more.

Block noted that one of Cosby's alleged victims was already sleeping with him and he STILL drugged her. It's a dangerous fetish when it involves drugging people. As Dr Block writes:
The other side of the sleep fetish, getting sexually
aroused by having sex with slumbering lovers, is far more dangerous to
others than to the fetishist, especially when it involves putting
“lovers” to sleep without their consent and then using their knocked
out, very vulnerable, rag-doll body to satisfy desires for absolute
power, selfish sensation and an intoxicating feeling of total control.
If the allegations are true, this appears to describe the sexual
appetites and behaviors of Bill Cosby.
There's an Australian sex movie about this, by the way, called
Sleeping Beauty, available on Netflix.
