VN and SYS (Stretch-Yawn Syndrome)

Dear List,

Besides the works of VN I am interested in yawning. More specifically I think that the yawn has an erotic (or even a sexual) dimension.

In the writings of VN there are quite a few yawns (and stretches. Together this makes the Stretch-Yawn Syndrome or SYS). Some of those yawns I have already found and checked for content and context. But I am certain that I have missed some others. Would you help me compile a list of (erotic) SYSs in the works of VN?

I thank you for your attention and help,

Best wishes,
